Moon Knight: From The Dead Omnibus

Product Information

But even with the mystical force of Khonshu fuelling his crusade, how does the night's greatest detective save a city that's as twisted as he is? To compensate for his health problems, he exchanges his kevlar Moon Knight armor for a new suit of light-weight adamantium armor right before he illegally enters the consulate of Latveria to confront the country's monarch Doctor Doom. I hereby admit this volume of Moon Knight to the pantheon of great comics put out in the last ten years. But even with the mystical force of Egyptian moon-god Khonshu fueling his crusade, how does the night's greatest detective save a city that's as twisted as he is?

This is fantastic at its bare bones, which is just a great, episodic, detective comic that revolves around a masked vigilante and his one man fight against crime in his city.The four part story "Resurrection Wars" shows Marc Spector resurrected again by Khonshu, materializing alive and well in his home while experiencing a vision of himself rising from the grave as Khonshu summons him. Marc Spector wakes up in his grave and has a vision of being tasked with resuming his life as a champion of the moon. Lemire's stories revised Marc's history to show he had first exhibited symptoms of DID and assumed the identity of his alter Steven Grant while still a young boy. Other costumed heroes have powers that make it not such a big deal if someone sees them coming, though it does strain credibility if any of them are going for stealth of any kind.

In the Othervoid, a realm outside of normal time and space, the entity Khonshu (once worshipped as a moon god by the people of Ancient Egypt) becomes interested in Marc. For a time, Moon Knight decides to allow the world to continue believing Marc Spector is dead and chooses instead to focus on his other identities of Moon Knight, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley. The series depicted Moon Knight once again experiencing four alters, though now three of his alters were imitations of Spider-Man, Captain America, and Wolverine. He's always had an iconic look, but this is the first time that I actually thought he looked like a convincing superhero.Following Mogart's death, Wilde adopted his father's costume and performed dynamic thefts to impress Moon Knight, hoping to convince the hero to let him become his sidekick.
