Our tour of the history of Marvel reaches the turbulent 1970s! Wolverine's vigil takes an unexpected turn! Spider-Man has an adventure in the new age of blockbuster cinema! Finally, an all-new tale of Moon Knight, one of the decade's most exciting creations, helmed by superstar creative team Benjamin Percy & Juan Ferreyra (Green Arrow)!
Rated T+
Man, if these creators want to keep doing Moon Knight short stories like this I am all for it! It just bleeds all sorts of noir coolness, from Percy's inner dialogue for Marc Spector to the fact that he drives a white Cadillac with “moon” license plate. The story focuses on other aspects of Marc's character and not solely on his mental illness, which is a breath of fresh air for the character. It is just a superbly well done short story, and honestly, the other stories in Marvel Comics Presents #4 are fine but for a Moon Knight fan this is well worth the $4.99. Read Full Review
Overall Marvel Comics Presents continues to be worth the price of admission, providing readers with a couple nice one shots featuring various characters from month to month, while keeping a underrated but interesting ongoing Wolverine story running through the first four issues so far. If some of the ongoing titles that are caught up in the War of the Realms currently might be rubbing you in the wrong direction, Marvel Comics Presents is a perfect palette cleanser to get back to some more normal regular adventures, featuring your favorite characters of the Marvel Universe. Each story is worth the price of admission here and coupled with some beautiful art. Percy and Ferreyra's Moon Knight steals the show this issue. Read Full Review
Inside these pages are stories that outshine the majority of what's being done in the characters main titles as of late. This isn't the no-frills training ground for creators that the old MCP was (although that was solid most of the time) this is a showcase of what these characters can be at their best. A place where opportunity shines and inventory stories are elevated into the more memorable fare. The nods to different past staples of Marvel all hit home and the book is creatively structured. There's something for everyone and great value for money to tie it all together. Read Full Review
The best part about it all is the striking artwork from Juan Ferreyra, including a beautiful two-page spread that is nothing short than striking. Read Full Review
Another impressive installment in the series. Anthology short stories can be very hit and miss and can often feel like throwaway pieces ie; story for the sake of the story but Marvel seems to have found the formula and all three chapters are engaging and well executed by the writers and artists involved. This issue provides three interesting chapters in this series and I am happy to recommend it. Read Full Review

Pretty good!
Anthologies are hard, but this might be the best one yet for Marvel Comics Presents. The Wolverine story was nice, albeit predictable. It didn't feel like filler for the next issue of filler. The Spider-Man story was a little better. It's centered around Star Wars, so I expected a commercial, but no we just get a nice and short Spider-Man story. The Gibbon being used here, whether this was intentional or not on the writer's part, makes the story a little sad. You can't really use the Gibbon anymore, in my opinion. But the best story, which shocks me so much, is the Moon Knight story. I wanted this to be good so bad, but I had no faith in Ben Percy as a writer after his abysmal Nightwing run. But this was really good. It had nice art, cool a more
The Moon Knight one was the best one.
