Moon Knight has been one of the more odd Marvel series in general, but that's been espeically true of this most recent reboot.  As you'll remmeber, I had few kind things to say about that first issue. This book has had a schizophrenic feel. Ellis brought in weird street level stories. Wood followed with a little more mysticism, and Bunn has taken that ball and run with it. It feels almost like a horror book at times, but this issue especially fits that bill. Moonie is back to being a believer in Khonshu, but he’s having some issues with that arrangement.

As with any good Moon Knight story, you're never really sure if what you're seeing is actually happening, or if it's just in his head. The god Khonshu has taken on an odd form in this series, but it fits with the overall tone. Plot wise there's not much there, but it is a good one off story that gives you a little bit of everything: some pathos, good old fashioned action, and creepy death things.

The art is appropriately creepy for the villain in this issue. I do wish this book would get out of the dark and dingy colors that have been the signature of this volume. I know this isn't going to be bright like a Captain America book, but throw me a bone here once in a while.  I just feel dirty after looking at some of this book. But if that's their goal, they nailed it.

Moon Knight is a hard book to recommend because of how odd it is. Not a superhero book, but certainly not a street level book either. But maybe that's why it's been growing on me. It's something different, and that is enough for now. As with issue 1, this is not my Moon Knight, but I can at least now see how it could very well be someone else's. If you've fallen off the MK wagon, Bunn's work may be what can bring you back.
