Moon Knight Vol. 1: Lunatic (Moon Knight Vol. 8 #1-5). By Jeff Lemire, Artist: Greg Smallwood, Colorist: Jordie Bellaire.

Moon Knight Vol. 1: Lunatic (Moon Knight Vol. 8 #1-5). By Jeff Lemire, Artist: Greg Smallwood, Colorist: Jordie Bellaire. 2016. Marvel. ISBN: 9780785199533 (paperback).

Marc Spector has been bringing vengeance down upon the scum of NYC for years…or has he? When Spector finds himself locked up in an insane asylum, with none of his enhanced abilities, he begins to doubt he was ever Moon Knight to begin with. And for that matter, was he ever Jake Lockley, Steven Grant or Mr. Knight? The average superhero juggles two identities. Spector’s special, he juggles five…maybe. Woe to those who see vengeance coming…for he wants you to…hence the white suit.

Lemire begins this run with a lot of set up for what is to come. The trade off is that Lunatic is light on action. However, fans know that when Spector is at his most unhinged is when Moon Knight is at his most spectacular. Lemire’s scenarios will be best appreciated by those knowing the groundwork of Spector’s origins, his cohorts and enemies, and the ambiguity of whether he is mentally ill or possessed by the moon god Khonshu. 

Moon Knight Vol. 8 consists of 19 issues collected into 3 volumes. The artwork is solid, but sparse, which is fitting for the setting of the story. Variant covers are included and a parental advisory issued. 

#1-5 = 120 pages
