I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Moon Knight Legacy Vol 1: Crazy Runs in the Family by Max Bemis (Writer), Jacen Burrows (Penciler, Inker), Guillermo Ortego (Inker(, Mat Lopes ( Colorist). VC's Cory Petit (Letterer)


The comic opens with Dr. Everett interviewing a patient who was in the army and burned his unit.  She gets the idea of how to treat him by how she treated Marc Spector who shares the personalities of Steven Grant and Jake Lockley and became this way when he died under the statue of Khonshu in Egypt as a mercenary.  Now he's a superhero, Moon Knight, as well as a banker who donates his money to a good cause.  She's taken inspiration in Egyptian mythology especially Aman Ra who is the father of Khonshu.  The patient becomes obsessed with Marc Spector and decides to break out by setting the place on fire including Dr. Emmett who survives.

Aman Ra goes to Marc Spector's old girlfriend's Marlene's house and finds a surprise there that Marc doesn't know about.  Aman Ra kidnaps Marlene and Marc must watch after someone else and figure out how to save Marlene from Aman Ra and his followers.  This was a bizarre book that was written in a bizarre way.   But I guess that is to be expected when the main hero has multiple personality disorder and half of the action takes place in a mental asylum.  That being said it was an interesting book and left me wanting to read the next one.   Marc Spector is an intriguing character(s) and one I can relate to.  I give this book four out of five stars.
