Moon Knight: Lunatic Review

Finished reading Moon Knight: Lunatic, beginning a new Moon Knight series writer Jeff Lenore sends the character into one crazy and psychedelic adventure. The book opens with Marc Spector speaking with the Egyptian moon god Khonshu before waking up inside of an asylum where he is beating up a couple of the staff. In the morning meeting with the other patients within the asylum who turn out to be old friends who have help Marc in the past as he is being lead to his therapy session. Later that night Marc, with the help of Khonshu try's to escape the asylum only to find that the Egyptian gods have begun to invaded New York, however when Marc gets caught he has to work together with is friends in order to try and save the city. Overall this was a great book as it brings a new direction as the way that Marc’s relationship with Khonshu is used with how they work together and interaction with one another brings some surprising moment of comedy is a couple of places, while the book’s ending has an interesting twist for their relationship. The inclusion of some of Moon Knight's old supporting cast is great as not only does it bring some great interactions between the characters and development for Marc but also gives more emotion to parts of the book's story. The art by Greg Smallwood is amazing as the blend between the aesthetic of ancient Egypt with the aesthetic of modern New York and the Asylum that Moon Knight finds himself in. Additionally the colourist Jordie Bellaire does an amazing on the colour palette that is used within the book helps to make some pages breathtaking to look at. 8.5/10.
