Marvel apparently dispensed with volumes numbers in between this series and the Max Bemis-written one 4 years earlier. Maybe when they started back in with the "Legacy" numbering (this would be issue 201 by that count, fyi.) Whatever. My blog, my ordering rules.
I don't know what all went on in Bemis' run, nor the Jeff Lemire run that preceded it, but at this time, Moon Knight had (I believe in Jason Aaron's Avengers) just finished first helping Khonshu take over the world, then turned against him, leading to his god being locked up in Asgard. So Moon Knight's not on great terms with his patron deity or the other super-heroes (although they keep letting Stark hang out with them again, and Moon Knight didn't even make any cyborg murder-clones), but he's still doing the work of a Fist of Khonshu as he sees it. Protecting those who travel by night, although primary artist Alessandro Cappuccio, and Federico Sabbatini who takes over in the back half of the run, rarely draw anyone on the streets. I guess Moon Knight made sure all of them got where they were going safely already.
The art generally runs to thin lines and stark contrasts. Rachelle Rosenberg, who handles color duties for all 30 issues, uses solid blocks of color and sharp divisions between light and dark to help the linework stand out. More so when Moon Knight is in costume, versus when Mr. Knight is in his office, talking with someone. Cappuccio draws characters with faces that are sharp and precisely defined, not many spare lines in them or their surroundings. Sabbatini's approach is softer, more give in the linework, faces gain a roundness absent with Cappuccio.
With Moon Knight on the outs with most heroes, MacKay fills the supporting cast with new characters. Reese, a young woman turned into a vampire against her will in what is apparently some dipstick's notion of a vampire siring pyramid scheme. Soldier, a former HYDRA recruit trying to turn his life around. Dr. Badr, who turns out to be a fellow acolyte of Khonshu, none too pleased with how Marc's handling things. One character trying to make the best of a bad situation, another trying to atone for bad decisions in their earlier days, and Badr, who is positioned as a more typical Fist of Khonshu, to contrast what an odd specimen Marc Spector is.
As far as pre-existing characters, Tigra shows up a few issues in and eventually becomes a love interest, though MacKay does little with that. I think Marc's therapist, Dr. Sterman, is a previously established character, based on comments about being part of V-Battalion at one point. She serves as someone for Marc to have conversations with, which are usually broken up by whatever Moon Knight is getting up to at that moment. Eventually 4th-tier villain 8-Ball gets added to the cast, as someone Marc can easily intimidate into helping them out from time to time.
The first year of the series, Moon Knight's under attack from Zodiac, in one of those, "make you better" plots villains sometimes use. Except Zodiac thinks Moon Knight is denying himself by playing priest and superhero, when he ought to just embrace being a killing machine. Moon Knight doesn't really triumph in the sense of rejecting Zodiac's ploy, and he does get fairly sadistic with some of the guys that Zodiac throws at him. But he doesn't kill the guy, so I guess that's something. Although I found Zodiac's constant harping about how much of a real villain he was tedious. If you have to tell people you are, then you aren't.
There's a six-issue story about tearing down the vampire with the pyramid scheme, notable mostly because MacKay finally uses Jake Lockley and Steven Grant a little bit. He also seems to ignore Ellis' idea that Jake and Steven are an attempt by Marc's brain to handle whatever Khonshu did in the process of resurrecting him. The two conditions are treated as separate things, one more straightforward than the other. Then it's into the final arc, a year-long saga with a new Black Spectre moving behind the scenes. Though the character strikes at Moon Knight's former allies early on, his plan isn't so narrowly focused.
Despite feeling that he's caught on his own, Moon Knight is consistently shown to have gathered a little group around him, and to be willing to draw on them. Most of the arcs force him to call on resources he'd rather not. Against Zodiac, he needs Khonshu's assistance. Against The Tutor's forces, he not only has to make a deal for information with a different powerful vampire (vampires apparently being blasphemous to Khonshu, as they who prey on travelers of the night), he has to let Jake and Steven have their say.
In the Black Spectre arc, his entire supporting cast all help, but it comes down to Moon Knight needing the assistance of someone who can no longer reach him, and he has to go the last steps alone.
