In 2012, Marvel Comics launched Marvel NOW!, an initiative that saw the relaunch of various titles. In 2014, Moon Knight joined the lineup with his own relaunch, starting with a six-issue run written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Declan Shalvey that would very quickly be considered one of the most definitive runs on the character.After the events of Brian Michael Bendis's run, Marc Spector has returned to New York City to continue his role as Khonshu's Fist and protect travelers of the night. Operating more independently than ever before, Marc has taken on the newest persona of "Mr. Knight", a Badass in a Nice Suit who works as a "concerned citizen" aiding New York's police.A series of seemingly disconnected one-off adventures, Ellis and Shalvey's run worked to establish a new status quo for Moon Knight, ridding him of his past supporting characters by showing that his life as Khonshu's faithful warrior has destroyed his relationships with the likes of Marlene and Frenchie, and that there is nothing left for him but going out to fight ghosts, mercenaries, supervillains, slashers, etc. at the behest of a god that has fractured his mind.The initial six issue run was followed by (and possibly was leading to) another six issue run by writer Brian Wood and artist Greg Smallwood. This run took a more traditional approach and had a running story arc about Marc's therapist attempting to co-opt Khonshu from him. Following Wood's run, Cullen Bunn took over and the series returned to the done-in-one storytelling style Ellis and Shalvey worked with, eventually ending with a seventeenth issue.Ever since this run, the Mr. Knight persona has become a permanent fixture of the character, and makes an appearance in the Disney+ Moon Knight series.

Ambiguous Situation

comment
Ambiguous Situation: It isn't clearly shown in the sixth issue if Moon Knight actually finished off Black Spectre with one of his darts, or did he rather deflect one of his darts, that Black Spectre threw in a moment of desperation. Regardless, this iteration of the villain hasn't return yet since the ending of this run.

Bittersweet Ending
 Moon Knight (2014) (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: The Ellis/Shalvey run ends on this note, despite the lack of an overarching storyline. The sixth issue shows how far Marc has fallen; he's driven away most of his friends who are now living happier and content lives without him and he lives a life devoid of loved ones. He earns yet another victory by defeating the new Black Spectre, but as he walks away into the night, it's obvious that he is not living a happy life as Khonshu's Fist.

Worthy Opponent: Mr. Knight is impressed with the zoot suit mook who manages to deflect one of his moon darts with his knife. The first Black Spectre appears to have become this for Moon Knight in retrospect, as he explains his motivations with a great hint of sympathy while verbally smacking down his successor Ryan Trent.

Put on a Bus: Marlene and Frenchie appear specifically to explain that they are on the bus and hoping to stay as far away from Marc as possible. Steven Grant and Jake Lockley have been reduced to ghostly figures hanging about in Marc's empty mansion. With his new status quo as a loner, Marc no longer has any use for their respective individual purposes like before. The Iron Man and Echo alters Marc develops at the end of Bendis's run are never acknowledged

Continuity Nod: Issue 1 makes several to Brian Michael Bendis's run, from his stint in Los Angeles to the mostly unexplained development of his alters being Captain America, Wolverine, and Spider-Man. Issue 5 is named after and features a young girl named Scarlet who seems to know more about Moon Knight than apparent, with heavy implications that she's Stained Glass Scarlet reincarnated. Issue 6 references events from all previous five issues. Cullen Bunn's tenure moves Moon Knight's base of operations to the abandoned hotel from Issue 5. Issue 14 references Werewolf by Night, Moon Knight's old rival.

The Slasher. He and Marc were soldiers horribly injured on the field and both were in some ways resurrected; Marc because of Khonshu and the Slasher from mundane medicine and surgery. Both Came Back Wrong, but while Marc used his resurrection to dedicate himself to protecting innocents, the Slasher was embittered and became a Serial Killer who tried to improve himself by grafting organs and muscles to his own body.
