He now has a reason for being, a theme and a mission I can appreciate as someone who can easily stay up far too late. The stories collected range from okay – with the anticlimactic ‘Box’ – to great, with the horrifying ‘Sleep’ and visually intriguing ‘Sniper’. He also shows an excellent eye for colour choice, particularly in the more magical scenes, such as the lurid dreamscape depicted in ‘Sleep’. Moon Knight encounters members of the Knights of the Moon, soldiers of a rogue faction of the Cult of Khonshu.

Marc Spector's different alters are now said to be due to "brain damage," alterations to his brain made by the alien entity Khonshu that connect their minds. Ellis shows a Marc Spector who this time is more talented, much more stable, and more importantly, much more relevant and heroic. To make matters worse, an enemy has emerged from Moon Knight’s past to bring the Fist of Khonshu to his knees. During his battle with Moon Knight, Midnight Man falls into the New York River, seemingly to his death. The Avengers, a team that relies on cooperation with the US government and the United Nations, learn Moon Knight gained help in invading the consulate by showing his credentials as an Avengers reservist and implying he was on an official mission.
