Agree. Sadly, this great series is finishing with issue #14 end of May.
THE SECRET HISTORY OF MARC SPECTOR CONTINUES!
• On a mission for Anubis, more lives than Marc's hang in the balance!
• While present day Marc ventures into the Overvoid, past Marc has some desert troubles of his own.
Rated T+
Moon Knight #12 is what happens when a book's creators are all working at the top of their game in a cohesive manner. Artists Greg Smallwood and Jordie Bellaire are fantastic visual storytellers, and writer Jeff Lemire's script presents many opportunities to show off their talents. At the same time, the narrative here continues to build upon previous chapters, and it's a pleasant surprise to see Spector's alternate personalities prove an aid to him in his time of need rather than a continued hindrance.

This book is, without a doubt, my favorite book I'm reading from any publisher at the moment. I can't get enough of it. Each month while I'm waiting for the next issue to come out, I keep rereading the rest of the run and trying to predict what's coming next. Any fan of good storytelling that doesn't mind a slow burn will enjoy this book. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. Read Full Review
To be frank, Jeff Lemire has a slow-paced writing style, which can be irritating yet rewarding. In the case of Moon Knight #12, it's rewarding. His stories are at their best when elements and characters from past issues return, but to do things like that, he has to pace the issues just right. Usually, he does a great job, but there can be times when the build seems redundant and goes on FOREVER. Fortunately, Lemire was on top of things this month, bringing back Marc's alternate personalities for a rescue and even sneaking in an appearance from Bushman. Hopefully, with Bushman's addition to the series, the next two parts of the "Death and Birth" story-arc will feature a clash between rivals in both the past and present, setting Marc up for his inevitable showdown with Khonshu.

Utterly amazing. Marc’s other personalities coming to help him was so beautiful and touching, like he’s starting to understand that his mental illness is not his weakness but instead, his super powers. And the art! Some of the best out there.
Always Great!
Best Marvel Book RIGHT NOW LONG LIVE MOON KNIGHT
Marc gets a hand from his alternate personalities so he doesn't die in the Overvoid. Back in his origin story, his mercenary work propels him into the Bushman's orbit. This is a fast, "get from point A to point B" issue and a deceptively simple one. Seeing Marc's other identities resurface is initially great - then you realize it's a potent reminder that his brain is still broken.
Freaking great !
As we get closer to the conclusion of this series, I'm not really any more sure of what is going on, but I'm enjoying the mystery. I liked seeing the multiple facets of Marc here, and Greg Smallwood's art continues to impress.
Jeff Lemire is always surprising the reader. I loved the idea of the team-up of all the personalities. However, the backstory of Marc is a bit slower and less interesting than before but it's still intriguing. Everything is coming to the conclusion and I can't wait to see how my favorite series will finish!
