Moon Knight By Lemire & Smallwood: The Complete Collection

I really enjoyed the show adaptation but it was so cool to see the original comic and the differences. The artwork is outstanding

I suffer from DID, and while obviously moon knight is exaggerated and fictional, this book touched my heart in ways the others have missed my entire life. This is my favorite moon knight story, and after finishing it I genuinely felt as … as seen and heard and valid as I do after a good therapy session. I was in a deep rut, and this art CHALLENGED me, but then it taught me… I was in a dark place, for many years, and THIS storyline led me to a breakthrough that has saved my life. Moon Knight saved my life, as ridiculous as it sounds, this specific run of Moon Knight has a story that is so psychologically profound and well done that it helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. I recommend it to any fan, and even to anyone struggling with feeling not in control, or otherwise mentally snuffed out of your own experience. Not sponsored, not exaggerated at all, this book saved me from a darkness that had been rotting my soul from trauma over half my life, not CURED, but gave me the perspective to be me again without needing or necessarily wanting just a cure. It taught me I can be more than held back by my DID, I can discipline my mind, I can find my OWN normal. And that truly saved my life, I ended this book and decided not to end my life. 20/5 stars

The media could not be loaded. In terms of story it's quite confusing, every few pages the drawing style changed (which I like in comics but I connected to it here) All in all I had a pretty enjoyable read. The book was a bit repetitive, but I liked the background of the split personality. It's like any regular comic book story to have a villain and a hero, here they added the split personality which was nice.

Amazing. I just got around to reading this series and it's probably the best book to come out of 2016, vision maybe tied with it. I've never seen a writer tackle mental health issues so clearly and in such amazing fashion, not making it demeaning or look adverse but rather treating it as a problem and going through steps to solve it. Without giving spoilers the story revolves around Moon Knight, aka Mark Spector (? Because he's had many different identities), struggling with dissociative identity disorder in a mental hospital. Lemire really makes Spector a likable character in this series, displaying his tragic story from his youth all the way through to his origins. The art is also beautiful throughout this entire book, my recommendation would be to get his deluxe hardcover, it needs to be owned in oversized editions, because the colorist, penciller, and inker all need to be praised. The way the art changes throughout the series to show what state of mind Spector is in is just a marvel to behold. Overall I couldn't find anything really big to even complain about, the smallest complaint would be someone not familiar with Moon Knights history would be utterly confused, but a simple Wikipedia search will get them caught up. Overall just amazing stuff

With this new Moon Knight Disney series right around the corner, I was curious as to what I could read to get a better understanding of the character. I honestly loved several aspects of this story; for starters the unreliable narration as we switch between the different identities was a great idea. Without spoiling much of the story, I also thought that the way we are introduced to Marc Spector and his origin was so perfect considering this wasn't even really an origin story. I have a genuine appreciation for the many characters involved in Moon Knight and if you were like me and had never gotten into Moon Knight before this would be a great place to begin. A slight issue I did have was that although the experimental nature of this book is definitely a strength, I wasn't so fascinated by every type of idea of where the story went (SPOILERS: much of the space stuff wasn't very interesting to me but I thought it was pretty trippy END SPOILER). Considering this was an entire run I would definitely say this felt like a complete story from start to finish and would recommend this book for all new Moon Knight fans.

Order came in a day early which was very nice. Book came in perfect condition, just some small rips in the first couple pages but the book that is nothing compared to the greatness of the detailed, mind-bending illustration I applaud Smallwood,Bellaire, and Lemire for the wonderfully orchestrated trio of true art at its finest. Forget for a second that it is a Marvel comic, the images and artwork are out of this world. Every single frame inside are a work of art within themselves. The story arc is written with intriguing and well-written dialogue that keeps you turning the page each swipe of the page, everything gets better, from beginning to end. Collections 1-14 are 10/10

Peakest of the peak I love Moon Knight

I was already a fan of Moon Knight from the disney+ series and this collection was familiar enough for me to recognize the character, while also serving as an introduction for some comic-exclusive characters and concepts. The changes in art styles between the different alters was also a cool concept that I really enjoyed. The pages are big, clear and easy to read, making it more accessible than reading on your phone. I may be new to comics but so far this run is my favorite ever.
