He’s back
Moon Knight is back! Moon Knight, who died saving New York by activating a detonator, was brought back by Khonshu, along with the rest of his Fists, in Blood Hunt #4(read the review here!) to fight off the vampires. Now, Moon Knight is back in action to put away the villains who got too comfortable with him being gone.
Moon Knight has been busy cleaning up the streets from the bad guys and villains but has come across something interesting, a drug called glitter. The glitter isn’t like any other drug, as it’s actually fairy dust. It’s extremely addictive and anyone that’s able to supply it has power over whoever wants it. This leads him to finding the person who’s distributing the glitter on the streets. But with the glitter being so addictive, and has become so popular, who exactly is on the glitter and what are they willing to do to get more?
Moon Knight may have been gone a long while, but he’s back with a vengeance and a thirst for violence.
The Art and Letters
The artwork of Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #1 packs a real punch in every page. The dark colors juxtaposed with Mr. Knight’s bright white always does the soul good, but with the bright colors in the abstract background, it’s pitch perfect. With Alessandro Cappuccio handling the art and Rachelle Rosenberg illustrating the colors, they make a perfect team to take on Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #1 and it shows. With lettering done by Cory Petit, it was the perfect exclamation point to every panel. Aesthetically, this was a beautiful comic through and through. The artists really outdid themselves.
Writing
Jed MacKay truly excels when writing about Moon Knight, and this is no exception to that. Throughout Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #1, there’s an ominous feeling leading up to the reader seeing Moon Knight handle his business rather than it just being discussed. It’s expertly written to keep you in a type of suspense while watching multiple moving parts happen in the story. The comic leaves off on a pretty surprising reveal that makes you realize just how dark this comic run is going to get. After reading this first installment, I’m very eager to read more of what MacKay and the rest of the creative team give us with Moon Knight.
