What would you say was the best moon knight series/story arc, it can be from any past or present series.
Moon Knight
Character » Moon Knight appears in 1412 issues.
Moon Knight, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley: four different aspects of the same man who was resurrected by Khonshu (the Egyptian Lunar-God of Vengeance and Justice) to serve as his "avatar." Those unjust mortals who prey upon the innocents traveling at night, with powers that come from the moon, beware the Vengeance of the Moon Knight!
The best Series
The first Moon Knight trade I ever read was The Bottom and that was what truly got me hooked on Moon Knight. I continue to read that trade the most out of my other ones so I consider that the best story arc. I loved the grittiness and how they introduced Marc with the Profile. The artwork is also amazing and fits the mood. Still thinking on my favorite series though.
@comkid100: I would say the first Doug Moench run in the 80s, and the couple of mini-series he had in the late 90s.
Like Xlizen, The Bottom was the first Moon Knight I ever read, and is how I wish Moon Knight had stayed, but as soon as Huston left, the series went downhill pretty fast. As a whole, I actually think Marc Spector: Moon Knight was the best series. It introduced many of Moon Knight's rogues, established a kind of mythos, and had several cameos with Spider-Man and Punisher. It was a fun series and I wish Marvel would collect it in an omnibus.
Top 5 story arcs: 1) The Bottom 2) God and Country 3) Scarlett Redemption 4) Divided We Stand 5) Ultimate Knights (Ultimate Spider-Man : #106-110)
^"The Bottom" and "Vengeance Of The Moon Knight". It's a great chararacter arc.

I'm starting a Moon Knight animation series on YouTube. This is the first episode.

@bluejay124: Ha, you beat me to the punch. But unlike your Moon Knight animated series, I'm actually using hand drawn animation NOT flash and it will have Rotoscoping for more realistic movement. Of course this process takes a long time and currently by series has been in development for two years now, but a teaser should be coming in late January.
As for what is the best Moon Knight story arc, hands down it is "Countdown to Dark".
(This here is a single frame from my Moon Knight animation, don't want to spoil too much but this image was taken from Moon Knight's physiological breakdown scene. Reminiscent of the Pink Floyd "The Trial" animation).
@ramsthenamecom: Yeah Marvel don't want to do anything with the character because of his background so I'm changing it up a bit. I included my own characters into the fold so I can tell my own story (Double Shot and Waterfall are my characters) and make Moon Knight less dark and more "Disney friendly" Right now I'm working on "Moon Knight: Waterfall Returns" then I will create "Moon Knight: Backlash" which will feature his main rival Bushman.
@bluejay124: I mean Disney can always make a Marvel film with the Touchstone label, you know right? For me, a Moon Knight film can be dark in the same vein as say a Pirates of the Caribbean film. I will not be using my own original characters, but will be using knockoff names to avoid copyright. EX: Moon Knight = Blood Moon (Moon Knight's original intended name by the way).
My short animated series will be like classic Doug Moench Moon Knight comics mixed with elements of Evil Dead 2, Pet Cemetery, Pink Floyd's The Wall, and a little inspiration from Anchorman 2 (weird combination, I know).
@bluejay124: wow man really! Glad to other moon knight fans out there!
