Bad Moon Rising by Doug Moench

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


An eclectic but surprisingly good collection of comics including guest appearances, back up features, mini-series, all from the 1970s and 1980s featuring Moon Knight who has three separate secret identities.

Overall, these are some very solid crime comics that show why Moon Knight had more of a life than most new characters introduced in the 1970s. The character and his methods are fascinating in a ways that are both similar to other superheroes but also offer a unique twist. The art is good, in some cases, it's quite gorgeous.

The villains are not all that great, but they're not stupid or poorly written. They make decent enough foils for Moon Knight to show his stuff and to fight crime in the unique ways only he can. His supporting cast aren't developed much other than the French Guy and the plucky girl, but for the era, that's not the worst possible portrayal.

Overall, this was a very fun collection that pleasantly surprised me.
