 * Moon Knight, vol. 2: Midnight Sun - Collects #7-13. "Three months back on the job, and they’re already coming out of the woodwork. The bad guys you expect. The gangsters and the hoods with old axes to grind. They all come with the territory. But the heroes -- them you don’t expect. Popping up to give you the eyeball and make sure you’re toeing the line. Their line. Spider-Man and his wisecracks...Frank Castle, the angel of death himself, telling you he’ll be keeping an eye on you...even the fugitive Captain America, with a word to say about crashing an aircraft into the sides of buildings in New York City. And now, this other thing. Someone is out there. Someone hitting the old haunts, scenes of the old crimes. Leaving messages. Leaving bodies. Someone who knows you. Someone who crushes steel and pulls off limbs. All to get your attention. Someone out of your league!" - WorldCat - ISBN 0785122907


 * Moon Knight, vol. 3: God & Country - Collects #14-20. "Moon Knight has his registration card... and he’s gonna use it! The Civil War is over, and the pro-registration forces won. Iron Man, newly installed director of S.H.I.E.L.D., has put the call out to masked heroes everywhere: Get on the right side of the law, and play by the rules. Amazingly, Moon Knight has answered the call. But playing by the rules has always been the hard part for Marc Spector and the avatar of Khonshu! And now the city whose streets are on fire with his vengeance wonders how in the world did someone like Moon Knight get approved for registration? Iron Man is not waiting for an answer. Especially since thugs, dealers and gangsters everywhere are turning up dead with the shape of a crescent moon carved into their foreheads! Is that the calling card of the Moon Knight? Or something more sinister?" - WorldCat - ISBN 0785125213


 * Moon Knight, vol. 4: Death of Marc Spector - Collects #21-25 & Silent Knight. "It’s the end of the rope for the avatar of Khonshu, forsaken by his own god and left to wander the violent streets with a target on his back and every agent of the government gunning to bring him down. And when that includes Iron Man and Norman Osborn’s Thunderbolts, the death of Marc Spector is a fate surely sealed. Plus, It’s Christmas Eve. A time for family. A time to dream. But for Moon Knight, it’s just a night like any other – and tonight he’s got his sights on a pair of hitmen who picked the wrong Santa to kill." - WorldCat - ISBN 0785132988 - (forthcoming, May 2009)


 * Moon Knight, vol. 5: Down South - Collects #26-30. "Marc Spector is dead — is Jake Lockley about to join him? When your multiple personalities are driving you so crazy you have to kill one of them, it’s time for a vacation! Marc Spector was a soldier. A mercenary. A killer. And now, thanks to Moon Knight, he’s a dead man. But the avatar of Khonshu lives on in the form of Jake Lockley — a more laid-back personality who just wants to take a nice, relaxing trip in Mexico. But for him, this means bashing his way through bare-knuckle-fighting tournaments, hiring on for a “snatch and grab” on behalf of a rich and well-armed land baron, and going toe-to-toe with a guy named Frank Castle — who the criminal element knows better as the Punisher." - WorldCat - ISBN 078513171X - (forthcoming, October 2009)

 * Moon Knight, vol. 3: God & Country - Collects #14-19.
