Vengeance of Moon Knight #1: Howl at the Moon!
Get ready for the next attempt to bring Moon Knight into the main stream Marvel Universe. After Huston's bold 6 issue arc that broke Moon Knight down and rebuilt him back up, he made the mistake of trying to integrate him into the Civil War world and later Dark Reign. The title went quickly downhill and in a desperate ploy, the powers at marvel killed off his Marc Spector persona.
This title features Jake Lockley who was one of Moon Knight's 3 alter egos. There seems to be a problem. Jake was the most unstable and violent persona. So unstable he almost gave Marlene a beating. In this volume, he's not any different than Marc Spector. However, this Moon Knight is different. He's closer to the Chuck Dixon version where he was a pseudo Punisher.
So what role is Moon Knight going to play in the Marvel U? So far, it seems like knocking off C grade villains. Moon Knight is at his best when he is in his niche of the occult meets weird vigilante-eque roles. There isn't much subtle nuance to this new volume but it is entertaining.
Hurwitz is the man who reinvented the Foolkiller into a generic ghetto looking douche who carries a sword cane. While Opena's art can carry the story, I don't see the right approach to this title.
Rating: Borrow it.
