Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood #1

/ / Comics

Moon Knight is the latest character to get a black-and-white anthology mini-series featuring a collection of separate stories in monotone punctuated by splashes of red. The highlight of Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood #1 is “So White. Yet, So Dark” in which an annoyed Moon Knight allows Spider-Man to tag along on some “Egyptian stuff” involving someone attempting to bring Anubis into the world waiting for Spidey’s chance to ask for a pretty humorous favor from Mr. Knight.

Moon Knight – Gods and Monsters

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Moon Knight – Gods and Monsters
  • wiki: link

Given the time Moon Knight has taken meandering its way to a final conflict, perhaps it was inevitable that the finale would be rushed. Still, “Gods and Monsters” succeeds in what’s needed by returning Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) and, somewhat surprisingly, Steven Grant back to the land of the living to take on Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) and Ammit (Saba Mubarak). Layla (May Calamawy) gets a power upgrade as well by becoming the (temporary?) avatar of Taweret (Antonia Salib) although the god doesn’t show up herself to help Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham), and her help would have been appreciated. While their god isn’t done with Marc and Steven, given how much Layla enjoyed being an Egyptian super-hero it’s unclear whether or not she could decide to continue on as an avatar.

Moon Knight – Asylum

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Moon Knight – Asylum
  • wiki: link

The appropriately titled “Asylum” offers a lookin inside the mind of Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) and Steven Grant who find themselves in an undead construct of a psychiatric hospital on their way to the underworld by way of their guide Taweret (Antonia Salib). While putting recent events and their consequences on hold, the episode delves into connection between Marc and Steven and definitively explores which is the original personality of the man who would eventually become Moon Knight. Speaking of the hero, we don’t get to see him in action here, but we do get a flashback to Marc’s first encounter with Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham) and his acceptance of his new role.

Moon Knight – The Tomb

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Moon Knight – The Tomb
  • wiki: link

The appropriately titled fourth episode of the series gives us a Mummy-lite excavation into the tomb of Alexander the Great. There’s not much in the way of deciphering clues as Steven (Oscar Isaac) and Layla (May Calamawy) fight a creepy monster and then simply stumble around until the find what they came for. And, as foreshadowed, the truth about Layla’s father is revealed at an inopportune time as they also lead Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) straight to the prize.

Moon Knight #10

/ / Comics

Moon Knight #10 offers a battle between Moon Knight and Rutherford Winner intercut with scenes of Moon Knight talking over the situation with the pair’s shared psychiatrist Andrea Sterman. At least that’s what appears to be happening. However, things aren’t exactly what they seem.

Pushing Marc Spector down a darker path, we see the Fist of Khonshu in a vengeful mode towards Zodiac and the villain’s latest minion he’s used to screw with our hero. The villain wanted an untethered Moon Knight. Be careful what you wish for.

While the half-black/half-white costume isn’t my favorite (I prefer Moon Knight in all white, be it hero or suit) the art of Alessandro Cappuccio does hide parts of the costume in shadow while highlighting the glow of the white as well.
