Tower of Iron Will
Tower of Iron Will rated it 5 years ago
I have avoided the Marvel character Moon Knight because it looks so much like an attempt to create a Marvel knockoff of Batman. Many top comic writers and artists have turned the character into something unique. The most unique quality of Moon Knight is that he has three secret identities, a mercena...

The medium of comics doesn't just revolve around superheroes alone, its a medium of the artistry and writer to express what they intend to give comic readers that illustrations is not just a man in a cape or a woman with a sword and a shield. Its about writing a good story, with illustrations that r...

I have no idea what this was about and ended up skimming most of it by the end. Whatever this was it didn't hold my interest at all. Boring. Next!!

Moon Knight has always been in the shadow of Batman, but he has some quirks that Batman doesn't, being semi-possessed by an egyptian god (Khonshu, the Moon God) so he has a sort of immortality but he's powered by a powerful sense of justice.

I had high hopes, given this writer and the first issue. Not so much, though. It's not only depressing, I don't think there was much of a point to this. And if this was the point Ellis was trying to make, he could have done so without dragging it out in six freaking issues. That being, the...

Surprisingly firm in its literary feel. RIYL Pynchon, Burroughs, etc.

[I received a copy of this novel through NetGalley.]A book that, to me, was more interesting for the world it developed than for its actual plot—I'd definitely like to see this "Futurist 1920s Italia/Europe/USA" revisited and developed more, especially for what the author does with famous figures an...

I was in this for Midnighter and Apollo, and this hints at their relationship. It didn't really give me anything, though, although this is a microcosm of where this went wrong for me, and I'll get to that soon. Even when Midnighter and Apollo weren't in scenes together, there was no real charact...
