Yeah, it's really cool because Moon Knight has always been a pain for telepaths and it was just assumed it was because he was crazy or whatever, but now we get to see why and it's terrifying.
Moon Knight #2

Moon Knight has established his territory, and the people within it are under the protection of his Midnight Mission. But what happens when those very people are turned into weapons against him?

Aug 25, 2021As a Moon Knight fan, I feel like this is the series I've been waiting for. While I enjoyed the hell out of the previous runs by writers like Warren Ellis and Cullen Bunn, they took a more episodic approach, and this is a return to a serial format. So far, this creative team have captured the feel and voice for the character and his stories, and it seems like they're going to build on his lore"something that's been much-needed. Do yourself a favor and check this out. Dr. J gives this an" Read Full Review

Aug 18, 2021Capuccio delivers some impressive imagery throughout the issue. Not only is the art dynamic and filled with the gritty style the story needs, but the sequence in Marc's mind is brilliantly done. Read Full Review

Aug 18, 2021Overall Moon Knight issue two delivers an exceptional installment that makes this a must-read series. It’s so fun and different that even the slower moments were just as engaging as the action. The level of creativity and sophistication in this series is off the charts. I can’t recommend this book enough. Read Full Review

Aug 20, 2021Moon Knight #2 is just as good and amazing as the first issue. Jed Mackay seems like he's building something something great with this run, and it's only been 2 issues. The pencils and colors couldn't be better. Moon Knight is a series that should be read by everyone! Read Full Review

Aug 18, 2021I'm absolutely loving this new take on Moon Knight. MacKay & company have got me hook, line, and sinker. This issue takes a wholly unique spin in a book that itself is a unique spin. Can irony BE any more ironic? Just buy this issue!!! Read Full Review

Aug 19, 2021Moon Knight's war against the darkness gets scarier. It's an eerie issue, with incredibly moody art, and the kind of threat you'd only find in a Moon Knight story. Read Full Review

Aug 18, 2021I was really happy with Moon Knight #2. Hes one of my favorite Marvel characters. I think most of the Moon Knight runs always start with a lot of promise and great execution, but then after a year or two just become something rather unremarkable. I hope Marvel and even Jed MacKay can continue to give us issues like this one because I know its a character with a bigger future ahead and a loyal fanbase that want these adventures to continue. I definitely think this is an issue to read. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Aug 17, 2021Moon Knight #2 is well-structured comic that looks and sounds good. That said, the plot is boilerplate vanilla, and the pieces fall together too quick and too easy. In short, this issue was decent but forgettable. Read Full Review

Aug 18, 2021Shifting tone to focus more closely on a specific aspect of Marc Spector, Moon Knight #2 loses a lot of the action from the first issue -- but builds some serious atmosphere. Read Full Review

What an amazing issue! Epic drawing and story. With issue one Moon Knight became my favorite hero! With issue two Moon Knight became already a legend. You should better start reading Moon Knight sooner than later. I got the variant cover by Netease and put it right back into the case that this great comic does not get damage! Rating: 13+/10

I really enjoyed this. I liked the resolution here. If it were Warren Ellis' Moon Knight, he'd have slaughtered those elderly people, so I'm glad he takes more tact in line with his older, pre-Huston characterization. It creates the illusion of growth, and it makes for a much more compelling climax. I'm sure Alessandro Cappuccio could draw the hell out of old people murder, but I think we can all agree, ethereal Mind Moon Knight is something we'd rather see.

Very well-done second issue. This is the one that got me hooked on this series. Despite not having much focus on Reese, there was enough here that showed her still adjusting and developing to her condition. As for Marc, he was absolutely fantastic in this issue. This issue works well with the previous, in that in continues to introduce new readers, and remind returning ones, just who Moon Knight really is. The look into Marc's mind was just great, and the tease at the end was good as well. Plus, Cappuccio once again does the lord's work with his art.

Reviewing the second issue of the new Moon Knight series. I continue to like the direction this series is headed, although I'm still wary of how the show will do. https://youtu.be/z3E8N_2lMPk

If the series remains as outstanding as its first two issues, I believe it will be the BEST ongoing series in Marvel's lineup once Daredevil comes to a close.

I think this was pretty solid. I can get behind the new direction. The art is solid. I like the tone. Not too much to complain about but, could use more emotional moments.

Moon Knight's mystery antagonist sends a creepy d-list mind-controller after him. MK weirds him into a coma with his weird ol' brain, and now he knows he has a mystery antagonist. This is a well-told story, particularly in the prose, but the premise and the baddy felt weak. I appreciated getting more Reese, though!
