    Moon Knight is quite the complicated hero, and few teams have presented a more compelling depiction of him than Max Bemis and Jacen Burrows. Read Full Review

    If there ever is a Moon Knight movie or streaming series, this story will have to be a part of the narrative. The real reward for readers " especially any long-time fans of this character " is that this creative team is clearly invested in establishing some plausible coherence to the various iterations and incarnations of the Moon Knight character over the character's long, complex history. The kind of continuity that this arc will ultimately establish does what all good stories are designed to do: make way for even more good stories. Read Full Review

    Moon Knight #198 is a highly enjoyable entry to the series, and Im glad I checked out the book again after so long. Bemis and Burrows are still a dream team, and this book is easily recommendable. Give it a read. Read Full Review

    THE GOOD: -The originality. This is one of the most risky, unique and original comics currently being published by Marvel or DC, and I have to appreciate it for that. -The writing. Never in a million years would I have believed Max Bemis would be the perfect writer for a Moon Knight comic, but he is. -The characterization of Marc. Excellent, excellent characterization and possibly the best exploration of his character that we've seen so far in this run -The return of Foolkiller! Honestly, I would say that Foolkiller is Max Bemis' best comic besides Moon Knight, so its great he's continuing the character, and he was used very well in this issue. -The end. I almost want the series to end here, this issue ends on such a perfe more

    Marc Spector endures Ernst's sadistic gauntlet without help from his alters. I could tag a lot of negative adjectives onto the gauntlet scenes: pretentious, cringe-inducing, "clever" (those are super-sarcastic quotation marks), juvenile, and more. The art is fine on characters, weak on settings, and the "everything is purple-blue" coloring is ridiculous. Yessir, a lot of negatives. And they're ALL redeemed by the blockbuster Spector vs. Lockley confrontation at the climax. Almost. It's a breathtakingly brilliant moment. It would be just as brilliant if it were hitched to a lead-up that didn't flirt with unreadability, though.

    Moon Knight is one of my all-time favorite characters but Max Bemis is run just isn't for me. I felt lost at multiple times during this issue and the Art's lack of backgrounds and detail look sloppy
