Moon Knight #18 is a great conclusion to the vampire pyramid scheme story and makes use of its shift in artist to break from the overly action-oriented previous issues. MacKays writing plays up the theatrical nature of Moon Knight and evokes a different aspect of the avatar status of the hero. These elements combined with Sabbatinis ability to render emotional conversations and grandstanding ensure a compelling read before any fighting breaks up. Rosenbergs coloring is a perfect compliment to the styling, subtly shifting its palette to match the emotional core of the issue. Read Full Review

Sabbatini delivers some fantastic art in the issue with great action and thrills during the final reveal. A great looking issue from start to finish. Read Full Review

A smart and fun issue that also gives Hunter's Moon a chance to work off some of his rage and get back into the field as Moon Knight makes a definitive statement to the vampires about whose city New York is. Read Full Review

Moon Knight #18 brings Moon Knight's battle against an encroaching vampire organization to a close with great art, great action, and a clever "super weapon. However, the final fight satisfies because the villain gets what's coming to him, but the fight ends too fast and too easily. Read Full Review

Umbrella.

More solid storytelling again this week.

It's amazing.

This title has "style over substance" down to a T, and this issue is a great example. Which is not to say it's insubstantial; it just that the style is flawless. The only problem with the substance is that there's not quite enough of it.

The art isn't detailed, but again, that's not an all-bad dealbreaker. This is a perfect example of what I mean by saying art has "good bones." The faces and the settings might be sketchy, but the anatomy and blocking are impeccable. Look at the *hands* in this comic--they're as expressive as the faces, if not more.

Soldier's little soliloquy explaining how malevolent organizations feed on angry young men is incredible. It *nearly* fills this issue's content gap and it's brilliant by itself.

Put it all together and this is (subjectively) as close to "great" as you can get without quite crossing the threshold. more

While I do have minor gripes with this issue, it's still another well-written issue. Sabbatini's art has been hit or miss in this run, and this is more of a mixed bag than previously seen in the series. Plus, I've lost just a little bit of interest in the Tutor, but it is hard to follow up a great villain like Zodiac. Luckily, it appears we're finally making our way back to him with this issue's final pages. Aside from that, Moon Knight continues to be badass and I am consistently enjoying this series a ton.

This issue and last had some badass moon knight. It was fun. I really like this run.

Fun comic. I liked the umbrella part.
