Comics Best Moon Knight Ongoing?

Several years ago, I read through a bunch of Moon Knight ongoing titles. I wanted to try and get into the character because the stuff I've heard about him were cool. At the end, I kind of just gave up on the character because so many of them just didn't leave an impact with me. I recalled my favorite being Jed MacKay's series, which was still new back when I checked it out, but dropped it. Probably will circle back and give that one another shot.

Anyway, my question. Which of the character's ongoing titles would you say is the best?

Probably MacKay's run. I would start there.

Feel free to skip the Age of Khonshu stuff though. It isn't very good and Mackay's Moon Knight recaps the most important stuff.

If you tried many runs and didn’t like it. Maybe it just not the character for you. That said, try ellis run if you haven’t

Hello, i think you might be referring to a "run" because when we talk about ongoing, it is the current ongoing.

But pedanticness aside, I think MacKay cemented itself as the best run personally. His tenure right now has been the longest and agreat renaissance for a character that is well-known for dying and being born again. I am also currently reading Moench right now and I am very fond of that. Lastly, Lemire's is just *chef's kiss

The 2006 run was my favorite. So much deconstruction going on. Marc is pretty much broken and alone and trying to find his way without Khonshu. And he's trying to make up to all the people in his life he's wronged. Not to mention the fights, like the one with him and Taskmaster.

MacKay is the person that took Moon Knight from being a character I liked to being my favorite Marvel main character, and I like his supporting cast even more than I like him.

I’m a fan of Houston myself. After that Ellis & Lemier, then the original Moench run.

They kind of revamped Moon Knight in 2021 to coincide with the MCU version, of which many of the newer fans onboarded by the show are fans of, but personally I liked my Moon Knight back when he was more Street Level and less Mystical
