RATED T+
Moon Knight #17 continues the excellence of its entire creative team, allowing Cappuccios pencils and Rosenbergs colors to shine. The art and coloring play with the expectations and established visual style of the book to present terrifying applications of the two crafts while establishing the versatility of established continuity. MacKays script echoes previous issues and cultivates seeded elements to build tension and craft an excellent sequence of evocative terror. It also subtly affirms some bits of the Moon Knight/Khonshu lore through tight, lean storytelling, making for an enthralling read on levels. Read Full Review
It deserves recognition that Alessandro Cappuccio and Rachelle Rosenberg were absolutely born to work on a Moon Knight series, and Moon Knight #17 is a shining example of why. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #17 is a quick but impactful entry in the series as Moon Knight gets revenge for his dead "brother and takes the fight to the vampires. This depiction of Moon Knight is brutal, unrelenting, and unforgiving in all the right ways. Read Full Review
Cappuccio delivers some beautifully detailed, stylish and intense art throughout the issue. The action is brilliantly done and there are some truly disturbing visuals in the mission that made me excited. Read Full Review
Along with suggesting that Fists of Khosnhu can't die, a statement we know to be a lie, Moon Knight #17 mostly reminds us about the darker side of Moon Knight, and the power at his disposal, when he's got a point or statement to make. The return of Hunter's Moon, rather than an appearance by Khonshu is a bit surprising, but the real surprise is that Moon Knight allows the two killers to live. Read Full Review
I'm sorry, but this is way too cool!
This is quite possibly the single best comic issue I’ve ever seen in using art to convey the story, and the writing continues to be fantastic. Moon Knight is easily the best ongoing series coming out of the big 2, nothing else they are currently putting out comes close to being this good.
MacKay is excelent as always. But the reason why this book is so great and the whole run for that matter is Alessandro Cappuccio. His art just fits Moon Knight so well and this issue is a great demonstration of that.
I. LOVE. THIS. COMIC.
Last issue wasn't amazing, just great.
But we are back to being amazing again.
Moon Knight is currently the best series Marvel has to offer (besides Venom) for me.
Well, good lord, Moon Knight absolutely wrecked those two. I was expecting a little more fight from Nemean and Grand Mal, but this was insanely cool. Moon Knight being badass is an aspect of this series that MacKay has done incredibly well, and this reinforces that point. The ending of this interested me as well, as I'm looking forward to seeing where things go with Marc and Greer confronting the vampires.
Moon Knight opened a can of whip ass.
This was awesome. Moon knight just kicking ass. This is what I want.
This issue was just Moon Knight being a bad ass. Can't really say too much other than that.
It's speedy and stylish. So speedy, in fact, that it went by a little too fast for me. And I think my subjective pendulum is swinging away from the artist again; I found some of the most potentially-dramatic moments to be visually underwhelming.
