Moon Knight Vol. 2: Dead Will Rise Kindle & comiXology

Food writing AND excellent art in the vein of the early moon knight series. Artistic art that still tells the story, almost on its own.... Without being overly pretentious or self absorbed. Like early Bill S. cover work and early New Mutants..... NOT like Bill S later work which aspired to get in the MOMA instead of supporting the story. This book is more of the first and refreshing change from most artists who try to reach.

The comic is great in my opinion, however that it is great it came a bit damage. In the first page there was a bit dry glue in the rear, and it seemed that the page itself was a bit disconnected.

This is one of the most difficult reviews I have ever written. All I want is to judge Brian Wood and Greg Smallwood's arc on its own merits but the fact is that it came after Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey's groundbreaking arc  Moon Knight Volume 1: From the Dead  and it simply doesn't measure up. Brain Wood strips away the ethereal feel of the first volume, full of ambiguity of whether or not Marc Spector is truly the vanguard for the divine Khnonsu, and what he replaces it with feels grounded and smaller. Khonsu is real, Marc is out, and the enigmatic Dr. Warsame, from the first volume, is back but without the air of mystery she previously had.Instead of six stand alone stories, Wood's arc ties together, and while the ride there is enjoyable, the ending is severely lacking. By the time you reach the final issue, all the wonderful tension the arc builds to that point simply fades away. The art is good but never reaches Shalvey's heights. This is a decent book that unfortunately doesn't stick the landing.

I recently became a fan of Moon Knight, and I gotta say, he is rapidly becoming my favorite "superhero". As much as I love the action, the story, and the art work in this volume, I do not give it 5 stars due to the way Wood goes about depicting Khonshu. Not to put out so much of a spoiler, he does take away some of the magnetizing mystery from the first volume.Overall, really entertaining and I definitely recommend it. It was good to know that a new team to the series did not mess it up.

Weirdly short and disjointed. Is this what moon knight is? Some of these little snippets of a story were only a few pages long. $10 for a ten minute read is way too expensive. The artwork is good but overall yeah super short and the stories barely make a cohesive narrative

Great storyline

Its a pretty good read, I collect certain comic runs and i wanted to collect Moon Knight. Its a bizarre read but if your a collector like i am then you'll definitely want this issue.

Brian Wood had a very difficult job following up on the game changing run of Ellis and Shalvey. But he does a great job continuing the tone, structure and characterization that the previous team built. Highly recommended.

Not *quite* as good as the first volume, possibly due to the leaving of Warren Ellis from the title, and the art is slightly different, but the stories are still fantastic and as unique as the last volume, and the characterisation is still top notch

Fantastic. Beautiful artwork and the story continues to excite. Buy this comic if you prefer you heroes dark.

A really good read, perfect follow up to volume 1

While Wood and Smallwood's follow-up to Ellis and Shalvey's first volume does have some bright spots, it will definitely leave most disappointed. The art was not my favourite (though for some reason I liked it a lot better in Jeff Lemire's Moon Knight trilogy), the panel layout was a little distracting, and there wasn't much in terms of story. The one story I enjoyed the most was the one shot by different cameras or cell phones, seeing the story through the eyes of different onlookers or witnesses. It was unique and fairly well done in my opinion. Plus it was one of the few issues in this volume where we actually got to see Moon Knight in action. Good for the continuation of the story, but don't expect it to live up to Volume 1's standards.

This series did NOT carry the interest and appeal of the Vol.1. The change in writing was really apparent.I personally disliked the issue # 8 in this collection, as it was done as though seen through a phone. While I commend the writer for trying to do something different, it came off really poorly, as the art and off panel coloured word ballooning were both hard to follow and really distracting.
