I agree 100%
I just don't think its possible to portray Moon Knight properly and not have the title be dark. That is why I don't believe the current series is dark just to be dark, I think it comes off as dark because they are portraying the character correctly.
I do believe that Moon Knight can do cameo work in other books and be portrayed lightly, but this is becaus ethe focus is not on him, but rather just his presence.
Also, I have an identity crisis similar to Marc, its why I relate to him so much, so please excuse me if my doppleganger shows up from time to time.

: I was thinking that it depicts how he sees

: Moon Knight is a very complexed character a.
: nd
: these abstarct covers are a great way of
: representing his inner trauma. I mean,
: somebody who is new to the character would
: learn more about the Moon Knight character
: and what he's about from these cover's than
: they would from any wikipedia article.
:
: The current cover is a depiction of his
: twisted view of society, and justice.
:
: The second cover depicts Marc Spector
: looking into a mirror for a self portait,
: but instead drawing Moon Knight. Thats
: symbolic in so many ways...
