This actually got me excited for this event. Eternals are not to happy with the X-Men finding a cure for death.

Can't even finish...this series has fallen so hard. It's a SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Reading the Omnibus figured I'd review a good portion of it that's collected it epic eollection volume 1.

So the first half is mostly one shots of Moon Knight's first appearances. Coming in almost as a villain but redeeming himself by the end when hunting the werewolf guy. Then he dips into the Defenders a bit and that's okay. He even teams up with Spidy, because Spidy sells, so hooray all around!

But then we get into solo Moon Knight and MAN is it good and surprisingly dark. So Moon Knight does a few missions, being that he switches between his different secret identities (This is before he gets the whole split personality thing) and by the end of the storyline we get one about Marc's brother and his revenge on him. He's basically a serial killer going around murdering people with a hatchet till he finds his brother.

It's thrilling and brutal, way more than I expected, and by the end I was worried about multiple characters. Then we actually have Marc deal with the fallout, which is also great and worked maturely.

Then we finally get to the first 4 issues of the main Moon Knight run. First issue being his origin, which I already knew pretty well. But then we get one shots, but they're all dark and some right down sad. We also set up Marc's team of help, a diner waitress, a bum, and two teenagers plus his helicopter pilot, his sexy girlfriend Marlene, and his butler. This is a crazy ass team yet works well in context.

So to say I really enjoyed this by the end would be underselling it. I liked the second half so much I bought volume 2 of the Omnibus the next day. Can't wait to read more. This is a very solid 4 out of 5.

Best issue so far. Full on superheroing. Doubts of people. Batman being batman. Good stuff.

Def fucking meta as hell but was an enjoyable twist and a sweet goodbye...next up...a new creator to hunt.

Art is excellent, fun homage to Aliens, and some cool build up to fear state.

This is another great volume. It does jump around a lot in time, but it makes sense. The main hero from the first book is in a coma and his best friend takes over the Radiant Black mantle. He's not nearly as kind or nice, but he does what he must. We find out more user who can use this power. We get to see a villain of sorts chasing them. We also get a surprise by the end and a returning character.

I feel this is alot of building blocks but the results are eventually going to be amazing.

A 4 out of 5.

Another solid issue, some cool stuff with Jenny and her dealing with her feeling lonely. It actually works. And the david stuff is cute. What the hell is happening with Kyle though? His story feels like a afterthought.

This is becoming a struggle to read...the art is getting worse too.

Like night and day from last run. Ron Marz is back and he knows who Kyle is and what makes him special. Nice set up issue, misery for Kyle, but he'll bounce back.
