Hey there, fellow comic aficionados and nocturnal enthusiasts! It's your resident chatterbox, Charlie Saltalamaccio – the guy who's perfected the art of being both a hero and a hilarious wiseacre. And today, we're diving headfirst into the mesmerizing world of Moon Knight, the moonlit vigilante who puts the 'lunar' in 'lunatic.'

Picture this: a brooding, moon-worshipping antihero with more personalities than a room full of Method actors. Yup, that's Moon Knight for you, and if you're not already a fan, hold onto your utility belts, because these top 8 storylines are about to turn you into a certified Moon-head.

1) Moon Knight: Marc Spector - Moon Knight (1989)

Blast from the past, folks! This is where it all began. Marc Spector, a former Marine, a CIA operative, and all-around good guy (with just a sprinkle of lunacy), becomes the Moon Knight. It's like Batman, but with a much bigger celestial guest list at his soirées.

2) Moon Knight: Vengeance Of The Moon Knight (2009)

Ah, the 2000s – a time when hashtags were just pound signs and Moon Knight was dishing out lunar vengeance like it was a late-night snack. With a slick new suit and a more intense attitude than an overcaffeinated Chihuahua, this storyline is a thrill ride you won't want to miss.

3) Moon Knight: The Slasher (1980)

Ever wondered what happens when your friendly neighborhood vigilante meets a bona fide serial killer? Wonder no more. Moon Knight crosses paths with the Slasher, and it's like a cosmic dance of blades and brawls. Think of it as a twisted tango with more moonbeams and less cha-cha.

4) Moon Knight: Defenders #07 (1977)

Team-ups are all the rage, and Moon Knight decides to crash the party with none other than the Defenders. Picture this: Hulk, Doctor Strange, Valkyrie, Nighthawk, and Moon Knight walk into a bar... I mean, a comic book. Chaos and camaraderie ensue – it's like a buddy cop movie with magical spells and gamma radiation.

5) Moon Knight: City of the Dead (2023)

Who doesn't love a good ol' supernatural murder mystery? Moon Knight finds himself in a tangled web of voodoo, zombies, and mysticism. It's like Scooby-Doo, if Scooby-Doo had a secret affinity for lunar cycles and crescent-shaped throwing stars.

6) 6. Moon Knight: Origin of Moon Knight (1980)

Origins, baby! Take a trip down memory lane (or a jog through the lunatic asylum) as we explore Moon Knight's transformation from a soldier of fortune to a soldier of the moon. Spoiler alert: it involves Egyptian gods, a dash of crazy, and a moonlit wardrobe upgrade.

7) Moon Knight: Marvel Age #74 (1989)

Peek behind the curtain in this unique issue that's part comic, part interview. It's like a backstage pass to Moon Knight's mind – trust me, it's a wild ride full of witty quips and moonstruck insights.

8) Moon Knight: Werewolf By Night #32 - #33 (1972)

Let's talk crossover gold. Moon Knight makes his debut by battling a certain furry friend with a penchant for howling at the moon. Werewolves, vigilantes, and a full moon – what could possibly go wrong?

There you have it, fellow comic enthusiasts! The Top 8 Moon Knight storylines that'll have you mooning for more lunar lunacy. Remember, Moon Knight isn't just a hero; he's a celestial showman, a street-smart avenger, and a hero whose personality shines brighter than the full moon on a clear night. So grab your capes, your crescent-shaped boomerangs, and get ready for a cosmic rollercoaster that's part superhero, part lunatic, and all kinds of awesome. Stay moonstruck, my friends!
