New Streaming: Moon Knight- Episode 1

 As we get deeper into the Marvel Catalog, we get fun, fresh stuff like this.  A Sleepwalker Show is just around the corner, no?

Please!

This is...

Steven Grant is a man with some troubles- mental ones that is.

He seems to sleepwalk and goes so far as to try and stop himself from sleeping when things get worse.

Is there more to it?
When he's awake, he works at a Museum.

Specifically, he works *in the Gift Shop* for a woman who looks like a Blond Jen from The I.T. Crowd.
When one of his sleep walks takes him to a dangerous place, will this lead him to the secrets of his 'sleeping' life?

Will he even live to learn them?
He returns home, but it's not going to be that easy, is it?

What follows it home?
Who is Marc Spector?
Who is that voice?

To find out, see the first Episode now, before the second one 'drops' tomorrow.
A strong, strange start to the Series.  It's definitely not the usual Marvel stuff, which I'm all in favor of.

Moon Knight- at least in his origin story- needs to feel very different.  It needs to be weird,  It needs to be quirky.  It needs to leave you asking questions.

With its musical cue, confused Main Character, use of smash cuts and overall odd feel, this one is just right.  I'm curious to see just how far they go with this and I, for one, am glad that they didn't cut this Scene...

Next time, the second Episode finally gives us the titular character.  What else will we see?
