Vampire tales for a nihilistic world
Great book. Joe Pitt is a fantastic character. The writing is first rate. The plot moves along nicely. My only complaint (and its not big enough to knock the book off the five star rating) is that it is too short! Still, the author seems to put out sequels on such a regular basis that it doesn't really matter. If you like your vampire stories to be relevant and contemporary, then look no ...

Mind Blowing
The third installment in the Henry Thompson trilogy stands alone as a fantastic, gritty novel that reaches into your every day life and changes the way you view your fellow man. The "guy next door" nature of the main character made this a book I just couldn't put down and sent me scrambling to find the first two books so that I might unravel the little mysteries of Henry's past and obtain a ...

Old people need to chill...
Hey, I've gotta give this a really really solid 5 stars. I started out with this volume, having never read moon knight ever before and I think this reallly really kicks some serious @ss!!! The character Moon knight has apparently been around for a long time. People have always criticized him as "marvels batman". I can see them getting away with that before this volume came out. Not anymore ...

Fast paced, violent, raw, and still very fun.
Hank Thompson is a regular law abiding guy with some original, yet regular problems. While at work one evening, bartending in Manhattan, he is beaten up by two Russian thugs. He soon realizes that this wasn't really about the drinks he served. Hank becomes an infamous and wanted criminal when fate brings a line-up of bad guys chasing after him, all of which are after something that doesn't ...

Smart, sharp and gritty fun.
Most vampire novels suck. They are usually pretentious, boring, and just writing one typically exposes a lack of genuine creativity. Most of them are Anne Rice knockoffs and Anne Rice has only written one decent vampire novel (actually one decent novel) in 30-odd years (Interview With A Vampire) and the rest have been reheated dreck. 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King, also written over 30 years ...

Brilliant!
First, I must say Charlie Huston is one of the most provocative, creating, and brilliant and thought provoking authors of our time. He doesn't scare away from difficult topics like racism, drugs, alcoholism, violence, sexual abuse and parental relationships. The latest Huston novel examines the lives of four troubled and rebellious teens who are struggling to find themselves during the summer ...

Hardboiled vampires--violent and edgy
Joe Pitt is going through a rough time. His girlfriend is dying of AIDS, he's lost his independence and is working as enforcer for the Society, and then there's the little matter of being a vampire--with the attendant need for blood. Fortunately, Joe doesn't have much by way of morals, which helps take care of the blood issue. Less fortunately, there's something going on in New York--something ...

Best for Moon Knight vets
This volume carries on the story from volume 1 in excellent form, reviving one of MK's classic villans and updating him for today's standards. This series is definitely more enjoyable for readers familiar with the character, and Huston's flashbacks and mindgames can make this a confusing read. But for those willing to put in the thought and maybe check out the Moon Knight Essential vols 1 and ...

Conclusion to first story arc! Glories Such As These: It's never about speed or slick moves or razor-sharp reflexes. It's about what you can take. It's about how much pain you can absorb. How many times you can hit the mat, bloody and dazed, and still get up. That's where glory is forged. That's where one earns the grace of God. Or in this case, Khonshu, God of Vengeance. Marc Spector's taken their best shot. Taskmaster. The Profile. The entire ...

They promised Taskmaster that Marc Spector would be a sitting duck. When Taskmaster was done with his work, Spector would be battered, bruised, friendless and, most important, alone. Only one problem: Spector is not alone. He's got a friend. His name is Khonshu. And today, he's got Moon Knight's back. It's time for round two.

Another great annual collection
Even though most of the Annual issues collected in the Ultimate Annuals trade paperbacks will likely appear in the trades/hardcovers of their respective titles, I still think collecting them in one book is a neat idea, especially for those who don't read the entire Ultimate Marvel line. Here's what you get in volume 2: Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual #2 - The not so triumphant return of the ...

I wanted something edgier than the rest. I got it
I have always loved comic books since I was a little kid, especially the heroes from the Marvel Universe, but Moon Knight was not a character that I followed as a kid. As an adult and a father now, I am glad that I checked this book out for myself, and if Moon Knight hasn't changed since I was a kid, I'm probably glad that I didn't read it then. This stuff is violence, and I am a fan of the ...

Warning! May appear to be eye candy...
I've liked Moon Knight for years. If you give him a chance you will see that this is NOT Batman in a white costume. But much of this series will seem incomprehensible to the uninitiated. At least get Essential Moon Knight vol 1 when you buy this so you can see that these aren't just a confusing bunch of unexplained characters. They do have a history! And it's great! Finch's pencils are ...
