This run plays with elements from the original Moench run a lot. It'd probably be interesting to go back and read that run, just to see how Lemire played with it. Also, Smallwood's art in this run is fantastic, and it's crazy to see just how much he progressed as an artist from his first turn as a Moon Knight artist in 2013, to this in 2016. That might be worth checking out as well, if you're interested in seeing an artist's growth.

Amazing. I just got around to reading this series and it's probably the best book to come out of 2016, vision maybe tied with it. I've never seen a writer tackle mental health issues so clearly and in such amazing fashion, not making it demeaning or look adverse but rather treating it as a problem and going through steps to solve it. Without giving spoilers the story revolves around Moon Knight, aka Mark Spector (? Because he's had many different identities), struggling with dissociative identity disorder in a mental hospital. Lemire really makes Spector a likable character in this series, displaying his tragic story from his youth all the way through to his origins. The art is also beautiful throughout this entire book, my recommendat more

Lemire's best Marvel work and among his best work of any sort. And remember, Marc Spector is Jewish and this matters to his story!

As someone who's really only read Moon Knight from Huston onward, this is THE definitive modern take on the character. I don't think any of the runs I've read have handled Marc's dissociative identity disorder with such a deft touch. Lemire tells a story of accepting oneself, flaws and all, that feels particularly fitting for Moon Knight. The reconciliation between each of Marc's personalities in the final two issues was a real highlight, as the various versions of Moon Knight coalesce to rescue Marc at his lowest point. This kind of organic, natural character growth is so rare in cape comics and should be celebrated. The way Lemire was able to organically integrate so many great artists and their wildly different styles took the book more
