Summary

Vengeance of the Moon Knight is a Moon Knight series launched by Marvel in September 2009, written by Gregg Hurwitz with art by Jerome Opeña, running for ten issues in total. The story follows 2006's Moon Knight Vol. 3: Marc Spector (Moon Knight) fakes his death in Mexico to evade Norman Osborn's pursuit, then returns to New York as Moon Knight, trying to shed the old identity of "Khonshu's killer" and become a true hero who does not kill. But Khonshu keeps pushing in his mind, demanding that he return to bloody vengeance, and various parties in New York wonder whether the man behind the mask is still the same person. Meanwhile, the "Dark Reign" era of Osborn's rule is tightening its grip on heroes, and as soon as Moon Knight returns to the city, he must face this old nemesis again, with foes such as Bushman and Scarecrow also appearing. This volume is the first of the series, corresponding to the original English issue #1, "Shock and Awe, Chapter One: The White Knight"; that issue also includes a reprint of 1980's Moon Knight #1, "The Macabre Moon Knight," telling Moon Knight's origin story to help readers understand the character's background.

Editor's review

这是一部适合了解月光骑士“转型期”的作品。赫维茨的剧本台词简练,几乎没有多余铺垫,节奏始终跟得上动作;奥佩尼亚的线条干净利落,即使画的是全白、没有任何五官的面具,也能通过姿态与构图传递情绪,再配上布朗与芒茨的冷色调,纽约夜色显得既漂亮又压抑。 本卷最值得称道的是它设置的核心矛盾:一个惯于杀人的反英雄下定决心不再杀人,而“神”反而成了逼他回到老路的声音。第1期还附有1980年经典起源故事的重印,新读者可以先补上一段角色背景,再看“新月光骑士”如何登场。需要提醒的是,这是系列第1册,不是全套;原版连载共有10期,后续剧情需接读第2册及以后各期。

Reading tips

  1. 建议先了解马克·斯佩克特的多重人格、孔苏信仰以及2006年《月光骑士》第三卷的大致走向。
  2. 读完本册后接着读第2至第6期,才能完整看完《震撼与敬畏》这一段落。
  3. 可以留意画师如何用全白面具和构图表现人物情绪,这是本作的一大看点。
