Moon Knight #5 is a powerful ending to the initial arc, concluding a section of the titular hero's life while also propelling him further along, hinting at just how far into insanity Jeff Lemire, Greg Smallwood, and Jordie Bellaire intend to send him. The use of other artists to show the different personalities of Marc Spector is a choice that pays off in spades, and it will be exciting to see just how far the series is willing to go with the fracture.

When a character that's only been around since 1975 is already on its eighth different ongoing series, it's usually not good news. That normally means that a lot of different things have been tried and none have caught on. But Jeff Lemire has taken a whole different approach to the character and is elevating Moon Knight beyond what anyone expected. If you're looking for a great new comic that seems to get better with every issue, you need to check out Moon Knight. Read Full Review

If you're looking for a new comic to read, Moon Knight is the one. Trust us. Read Full Review

Moon Knight #5 has a very ambiguous ending and anything less might have been disappointing, considering the story that it "concludes"? It provides more thrills and turns to keep the mystery intriguing and the moments between Marc and Moon Knight are engaging. The art team deliver some brilliant visuals that only add to the quality of the writing. Thankfully, this is one of the series that isn't being cancelled with the upcoming Marvel NOW imprint.

Despite some of the slow moments in the last five issues, the "Welcome to New Egypt" storyline has been a fantastic way to kick off a new Moon Knight series. Like never before, Jeff Lemire has made the audience feel just as confused and conflicted as Marc Spector. Additionally, Greg Smallwood and Jordan Bellaire have kept the series visually intriguing, especially in this last issue with the addition of other artists and colorists. Read Full Review

Moon Knight #5 makes it clear how this volume is going to be definitively different than any other Moon Knight series - it's never coming back down for its dizzying heights. Read Full Review

The art in this issue is fabulous, with Greg Smallwood doing his usual stellar job while being joined by Wilfredo Torres, Francesco Francavilla, and James Stokoe, each of whom handled a different piece of Marc's personality in his own style. The ending of the story seemingly comes from out of nowhere, but it does keep in line with the running theme of whether or not Marc is insane, as it seems to indicate that bit of business is not completely resolved. I'm excited to see where the next storyline goes, as having Marc and Marlene in Hollywood could be just as weird and wild as their trip through Khonshu's induced madness. Read Full Review

The end of the issue is equally quizzical as Marc seemingly awakes from a nightmare back in the guise of one of his many identities. How much of the mental institution (if any of it) was real? How will Khoshu react to loosing his prize? And what's Moon Knight's role in the world now? Worth a look. Read Full Review

Speechless, so so good

Completion of the first story arc that was extremely exciting and full of mysteries! A great edition that makes the reader want the next editions as fast as possible!

Absolute INSANITY! Can't wait for Lemire's Thanos series!

A series of shocking twists and turns through all manner of psychological traumas, confused realities and crazy psychedelic scenes, this Moon Knight represents the shocking climax of the outstanding first arc. Truly one of the greatest and most original comic series out there; certainly of those produced by Marvel. Luckily, we know it's not the end since more issues have already been announced. I for one can't wait for the next arc.

The insane first story arc concludes and Jeff Lemire shows everything he's got. But the most surprising is that the next arc seems even better. And Greg Smallwood is doing an incredible work. The cover are outstanding, specially this issue's which is one of my favorite ever!

Weirdly interesting and interestingly weird. This run of Moon Knight seeks to trick and deceive the audience in a spectacular manner and it does exactly that. No idea where the story is headed, but that makes the journey all the more exciting.

WTF HAPPENNING??? NEXT ISSUE PLEASE!!! I'M SO EXCITED AND INTRIGUED!

Perhaps one twist too many, because it surely feels like the car fell of a cliff.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see where this goes, but I just feel this issue the story just tumbled down to get where it ended after really strong first four issues.
