Bunn's most interesting narrative on the title to date; combined with last issue, he's really starting to hit his stride with the character. Moon Knight #17 doesn't require too much prior knowledge of Moon Knight beforehand, so it serves as a good jumping on point. Recommended. Read Full Review

The execution of the story, as has been the case in most chapters of this volume, is almost entirely on the shoulders of the art team.

Moon Knight #17 is at best a well-intentioned misfire. Theres still enough of the great series in it to be enjoyed but its not the same kind of dynamite storytelling that marked the previous issues. Overall the central takeaway from it is that Moon Knight was better served as an exploration of mood and atmosphere more than anything else; trying to tell stories that rose or fell on their otherworldly genre-bending artifice rather than deeper meaning or characterization. Not a horrible issue, but not one to judge the entire series on either. Read Full Review
