I’ll give it another volume, surely, because it’s Warren Ellis. Before he was the macabre Moon Knight, he was mercenary Marc Spector. Thus, my feeling about Moon Knight: From the Dead is mixed - it’s a character that exists already and seems nearly unkillable, that protects people who ‘travel at night’ in the city? So far there just isn’t much there to grab on to. At the same time, Ellis is at his best when constructing his own worlds and characters. He brings a jaunty righteousness to his vigilantes that satisfies like a well crafted hamburger. Review 2: I always like Warren Ellis’ work. It usually feels like macho, teenage boy drivel. I don't usually dig this gritty, anti-hero stuff. more lenty of topical antagonists (evil bank executives, a dispossessed veteran, a disgruntled cop on a power trip, human traffickers, and ethically dubious researchers). The split personalities gimmick is also not emphasized, which seems odd.

The characterization is pretty thin and mostly consists of people saying how crazy Moon Night is and then Moon Knight explaining why he is, in fact, a bad-ass lunatic. There are even some thoughtful moments (showing the mundane conversations of people knowing they are going to die and a very effective page showing a man emotionally wounded by years of disaffirmation). Warren Girard Ellis (born 16 February 1968) is an English author of comics, novels, and television, who is well known for sociocultural commentary, both through his online presence and through his writing, which covers transhumanist themes (most notably nanotechnology, cryonics, mind transfer, and human enhancement). Each issue is a one off story told economically and often uniquely, just as much with pictures as with words. It's like Batman mixed with Spawn but much, much better than that comparison suggests.
