Moon Knight #1

Marc Spector stares out from the cover of this 2016 Marvel volume, restrained in a straitjacket and hood, the crescent moon symbol on his forehead the only hint of the warrior beneath — it's a quietly unsettling image that sets a deeply psychological tone. Writer Jeff Lemire, artist Greg Smallwood, and colorist Jordie Bellaire bring a stark, minimalist palette to "Welcome to New Egypt," the opening chapter of a five-part story that promises something far more introspective than your average superhero fare. If you've been looking for a Moon Knight run that takes the character's fractured psyche seriously, this collected first issue is a compelling place to start.
