--Previous Message-- : Is there any more of that type of sci-fi in : MK? I got the impression that, when it did : go fantasy, it was more along the lines of : Egyptian legends and that stuff. Was he a : street hero like Batman, : "villain"-fighter like Batman or : supernatural like Doc Strange? : : --Previous Message-- : I think that the : spy/supernatural/sci-fi/superhero theme was : Moench's m.o. with MK. For me the story was : atypical because it was a little more heavy : on the sci-fi than usual (very X-files), and : it was also kind of crammed into 4 books : when it may have been better off : decompressed into 8 or 10. : : --Previous Message-- : I just finished reading the late 90's MK : mini : after admiring the look of the character for : so long. Never read a single issue, but : this was $4 for 4 issues, so I took the : bait. : : One of the best stories I've ever read. I'm : going to guess there are a lot of Moonies : out there who really resent it, but it was : just such a unique blend of spies, sci-fi, : and superheroes that it really hit all the : right notes for me. Again, I'm guessing, : but I assume the rest of the original Moon : Knight isn't like this? If there are any : similar stories/themes, I'd love to know. : : : Being a longtime MK fan since the 80's and a collector of almost exclusively his comics over the years since. I'd have to say that to me he was more of a Batman sort of superhero, although the sci-fi edge his Lord Khonshu blessed him with from time to time made him more "Unique" He comes from trained ass whooper to "Fist of Khonshu" in a cornucopia of stories that should keep you reading. If you like the sci-fi stuff, if you can find a 6part mini he did called Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu This would be worth your while in finding them. At that point in the series they really played up the "powers" and as mentioned earlier in this thread an "x-Files" component. I think that the Morpheus Stories were his best and this 6part mini is the last of the storyline with that "Villain" : :
