Rated T+
Bemis and Burrows made quite a splash in Moon Knight #188, and theyve continued their hot streak through this issue. I continue to highly recommend this comic. Give it a read. You definitely should be on the Moon Knight train. Read Full Review
So far I'm absolutely gripped to the ‘Crazy Runs in the Family' arc and I genuinely can't wait to see where Bemis takes Marc next following THAT revelation! Read Full Review
Moon Knight is a comic that delivers on every front. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the character, this kind of craftsmanship is impossible to deny. Read Full Review
Max Bemis is definitely pulling Marc Spector in new directions with Moon Knight #190. Moon Knight fans will be shocked by the revelations in this issue! While I would like to see Moon Knight do some regular superhero stuff, I still enjoy what Bemis is doing so far with this series. It also does not hurt that the art team is doing a pretty stellar job. This issue had me pretty stunned as a long-time Moon Knight fan. I am very excited to see where things go from here!

Moon Knight is a character with a lot of potential, but it's being wasted here. Read Full Review

HOLLY SH...
Our mystery villain gains a name (Sun King) and an ally (Bushman) and throws a doozy of a takedown plan at Moon Knight. It involves Marlene and a gigantic twist and plenty of great character interactions inside and outside Marc's head. Jacen Burrows's art is still highly refined, and the way the plot develops is utterly entrancing. Some cracks in the facade are appearing, though, because Max Bemis can't resist indulging in some self-aware humor. I've read other stories by Mr. Bemis that *needed* a gloss of ironic detachment to climb up to readability; I hope he realizes this arc is strong enough (like "all-time great" strong) to stand on its own. A layer of hipster "it's just a comic LOL" gags could actually do a lot of damage to this philomore
Max Bemis and Jacen Burrows are three for three with MOON KNIGHT #190. With each issue my confidence, that this may be the best run on MOON KNIGHT in years, grows. Time will, of course, tell but...damn, this is a good comic.
SCORE: 9.0
I love the characterization of Marc Spector in this series. Bemis does a great job of making this a dark comedy. Jacen Burrows is serviceable; when compared to last couple of Moon Knight artist, its the weakest but does the job fine.
Awesome read. I'm getting used to the art and this issue stepped it up. Great story so far.
Bemis' 'Moon Knight' is a mixed bag for me. I'm personally not a fan of his brand of humor or dialogue, but I'm not gonna deny that there's some interesting ideas in here. Jacen Burrows' art is consistently impressive, as well. I was originally going to give this issue a 7, but the twist and the way Bemis built up to it was very, very well done and worth at least a whole extra point on its own. I'll be sticking with this title at least until the conclusion of this arc and, who knows, maybe this series will find its stride and grow into another classic Moon Knight run.
I enjoyed a comic. I was starting to believe this wasn't possible anymore. At least from Marvel's last two years.
