Shalvey’s ability to draw upon totems that relate to Moon Knight’s Khonshu origins makes the character seem gloriously stranger. First of all, the visual and conceptual embracing of mythology and iconography has lent an air of mystery to a character that is, quite literally, solving mysteries himself this time around. What’s been so special about Ellis’ approach to the character lies in a few key factors – all of which show up over the course of issue #4. Just stand back and let him do his thing. In some ways, Marc Spector is the heroic avatar of the Morrisonian hyper-sanity what couldn’t possibly make sense to anyone else is perfectly clear to Moon Knight. But his willingness to absorb himself in his madness somehow allows him to observe and confront the world around him more coherently. Maybe it’s just the world around him that’s crazy? No. While Marc Spector is no doubt a man with a tendency to go unhinged, Ellis has written him with a supreme confidence. Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey play with this idea over the course of issue #4, to an absolutely chilling effect. They can take the form of fungal infection and show up in places where they’re unwanted. Mushrooms can also be the key catalyst to a psychedelic trip – a trip that would produce interesting results were one to read the content of “Moon Knight” #4 during.īut mushrooms can be a sinister thing, too. If prepared the right way, it can even be the main course in place of something more traditional. Like Moon Knight himself, the mushroom has many “personalities.” It can be a strong, earthy element in a delicious dish. Go with Moon Knight to the Mushroom graveyard planet for the most troubling and disturbing issue yet!Ī mushroom is a versatile thing.Something is happening to the subjects of a sleep experiment that’s driving them all insane.Moon Knight goes somewhere even more messed up than his own mind.
