My first introduction to Moon Knight was through the Disney+ show. After finishing that series (and loving it) I thought I would give some of the comics a try. This Moon Knight collection shows the origins of Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley. It's also what the second half of the Disney+ series is based on for some segments. 

I liked this run. It was confusing at times, but overall fun. Of course we need to touch on the issue of DID. Again, this isn't great representation. It came off as something that could and can't be cured (depending on the issue of the comic) and doesn't show a good representation of what it's like to live with the disorder. On one hand people will say it's just a comic so it doesn't need to adhere to what the disorder is actually like, on the other hand I've heard other runs of Moon Knight have delt with the issue better.

Overall I did like this run and will probably read it again at some point. It's basic premise is about dealing with your inner demons, which it does a pretty okay job at portraying, minus the whole DID thing.
