Moon Knight: Birth and Death Review

Finished reading Moon Knight: Birth and Death, concluding this Moon Knight series as writer Jeff Lemire sends Marc Spector into his final conflict with the Egyptian god Khonshu. The book opens with a flashback to Marc Spector's past where his Steven Grant persona came to life which begins his life of being inside an asylum for most of his young life before running away to join the military. Meanwhile in the present Marc begins to head back towards the hospital he and his friends escaped towards the beginning of the series to take the fight to Khonshu. Overall this was a great book as it brings an end to the series with Marc Spector finding his way back to the real world while coming into conflict with the Egyptian god Khonshu who is the reason why he's alive and stuck in an Egyptian like New York. The present day story of Moon Knight trying to get to Khonshu is great on its own but the way that it's juxtaposed to the telling of Marc Spector's origin which is also a great part of the book and helps to mirror the events of the present. The art by Greg Smallwood is amazing as it brings the Egyptian aesthetic and the flashbacks of Marc's to life exceptionally well thanks to the amount of detail that is put into the art while colourist Jordie Bellaire helps to elevate all of the art to even being breathtaking in places. 8.5/10.
