Backed into a corner, Marc Spector does what they least expect him to. He's here for his registration card and he wants in on The Initiative. And he's willing to do whatever it takes to get one.
It's almost depressing that an issue so good comes at the very end of Huston's run on Moon Knight. I always wondered why, out of the countless pitches Marvel must have received to revitalize the character, they went with him. Now I can see. It may be a case of too little, too late, but I found it a compelling read just the same. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #13 was a fitting and completely satisfying end to Huston's run on this title. I have been so impressed with Huston's resurrection of Moon Knight's character. Huston has absolutely nailed the core essence of what makes Moon Knight so amazing. Huston managed to evoke a mood reminiscent of the seminal Moon Knight team of Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz while still putting his own unique stamp on the Moon Knight mythos. If you missed Huston's run on Moon Knight, then definitely get his thirteen issue run whenever it is released as a trade paperback. It will be well worth your money. Read Full Review
Points off this issue for some more muddied art but, Huston continues to engage us long time Moon Knight fans while putting his own mark on Marc. Where this goes next is anybodys guess and thats whatll keep us coming back for now. Read Full Review
Whoa...This was one of the better issues of Moon Knight I've ever read, period. Art was amazing, script was near flawless. Bravo!
I am having a hard time deciding if this is worthy of an 8 or 8.5. I don't think it really reaches the highs that I would expect from an 8.5 but it is such a departure from the rest of Huston's writing that I really enjoyed it. I didn't write anything for the other reviews because I just had nothing to say about them. They were just dark, edgy, nihilistic shlock. The Bottom was fine. Just a decent story that I didn't absolutely hate but I didn't enjoy a second of the Midnight Sun arc. It is a shame that this is Huston's last issue because while there were a few lines that made me rear back he actually used decent pacing, dialogue and a compelling story where Marc has to figure out his way to be a hero in the era of Registration.

Very good issue, with great art.
