What's surprising about this relaunched series isn't that it's good, but that it manages to be so good while simultaneously being so different from the winning formula established by Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire and continued by various other creative teams. Read Full Review
What Max Bemis and Pepe Larraz have done is not try to fix anything rather build on what was already working by moving forward with the development of Marc Spector in a natural way. Read Full Review
I am liking this new run and creative team on Moon Knight so far, for the most part. It is pushing the character in new directions, and it puts him in a very different situation. Moon Knight #191 also features Moon Knight fighting without pants, and that is something you do not see often! Joking aside, Moon Knight is a solid comic book. The story continues to build and bring the character to new and interesting areas. Read Full Review
"Moon Knight" has an off day, a fan favorite returns, a new dynamic is explored, and a villain becomes generic in a comparatively average issue. Read Full Review
Nice twist in the last issue.
Another great issue in this legacy run. The art continues to be good and the story is really interesting.
Marc meets his daughter and the Sun King kidnaps Marlene. Lots of words are burned setting up Ra vs. Khonshu as a mythic Apollonian vs Dionysian conflict. Mr. Bemis is clearly enjoying a little Alan Moore cosplay here, but it's superfluous to the story and not executed all that well. Marc doesn't NEED abstract cosmological motivation when the baddies are holding Marlene hostage. This issue also struggles in introducing Dia, Marc's pink-haired daughter. Mr. Bemis misses the brass ring when it comes to scripting natural and/or endearing dialogue for a kid. The art is still outstanding and the plot is moving along nicely, keeping this comic well above average. It's just not achieving the mythological greatness it's aiming at.
