What I’ve seen and enjoyed:

X-Men (from the 2000’s). First Class. Days Of Future Past. Sam Raimi Spider-Man. Blade 1+2.

What I’ve seen and didn’t enjoy:

Iron Man. Avengers 1. The Amazing Spider-Man. X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Daredevil.

It feels like Marvel’s earlier movies were better? From their MCU stuff I get the vibes of tokusatsu but it takes itself way to seriously and the Joss Whedon banter is so reddit it hurts.

Thoughts?

    I thought the 2006 to 2009 Charlie Huston (writer) and David Finch (Illustrator) was really grime-y and heavy in a non-edgy way. It was kinda impacted by the big “Civil War” event (I’m generally anti-“Massive multiple comic super events” as I think it usually doesn’t really work) but I thought that whole run was a great run. It really explored Khonshu as a character which I dig. I always see Moon Knight as a “Warlock”/“Anti-Paladin” style character and I the relationship between Khonshu and Moon Knight to be the most interesting dynamic of the comic.

    I also dig the “Mr. Knight” alter ego run as well. Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey I think was 2012 or something like that. Great art and strong writing, just plain good-ass comic.

    Of course read the OG comics too, I only read the first ten from 1980’s but they were pretty damn good.

    As with all comics there is just so much damn to read, but I have found most of the Moon Knights to be solid.

      Too true, thanks for some possible jumping in points. I just started reading Berserk this week, so who knows when I’ll give Moon Knight a shot lol
