Finished reading Moon Knight: From The Dead, this begins the All New Marvel Now series as writer Warren Ellis brings Moon Knight back into the lime light in a episodic book series. The book opens up with Moon Knight meeting with police detective Flint at a scene of a murder with Moon Knight going by the alias of Mr Knight as he helps out the police in finding the murderer. The second story is a mainly silent one as Moon Knight confronts a sniper who has just shot down eight individuals in the same area. The next two stories has Moon Knight tackling supernatural problems from a gang of punk ghosts to taking a trip into a dream world. The penultimate story shows Moon Knight rescuing a kidnaped school girl by going through the front door beating up several thugs in the prosess. The final story is linked back to the first as police officer Ryan Trent tries to make more of his life by becoming a masked vigilante in hoping to take over Moon Knights job with the police. Overall this was an amazing book as it uses the structure of many short stories in an interesting way, and using it to the books advantage by having a strong conclusion at the end which links back to the first story of the book. The brutality of Moon Knight's fighting style is captured amazingly thanks to Declan Shalvey's artwork with the siege on the apartment building being the stand out point of the book as Moon Knight defeats a decent amount of people in very unique ways.9/10.
