There's blood on the streets as assassins work their way through a list of names containing those who once formed Moon Knight's Shadow Cabinet. But with a number of potential targets and no idea who's next, how can Moon Knight save his former associates?
PLUS: Just in time for Black History Month, a second story in which the crescent crusader crosses paths with the Sheriff of the Vampire Nation, Blade!
Rated T+
Cappuccio delivers some fantastic art in the issue. The action is awesome and the imagery beautifully captures the tension and immediacy of the story. Read Full Review
Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio continue their run of excellence here, bringing back some obscure Speedball villains turned assassins, but someones clearly pulling their strings. Who can this person be? What could this mean for Moon Knight and his crew? Will he be able to stop them in time before they kill the rest of his Shadow Cabinet? So many questions, and I cant wait to see where we go from here. Read Full Review
"Moon Debut" by Danny Lore, Ray-Anthony Height, Le Beau Underwood, Scott Hanna, and Rachelle Rosenberg also impresses, and while there are campy moments, it doesn't feel out of place due to the era it takes place in, and how it comes full circle is ultimately satisfying. Moon Knight is used to stacking wins at this point, and I simply don't see that changing. Read Full Review
The Harlequin Hitmen certainly aren't characters I'd expect to see pop-up in Moon Knight, but their put to good enough use here as the messengers of someone out there pulling the strings and attacking Marc Spector through old friends and associates. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #20 starts a new arc with a trail of death and a pair of long-forgotten villain cameos to put Moon Knight on the trail of a murderous mastermind. The art is spectacular, and the mystery has a decent amount of curiosity baked in, but the execution feels rushed, and that extra dollar you're paying is justified with a mediocre and pointless backup.

It's another fast, action-heavy episode. As usual, the art works perfectly for that, and the prose is no slouch either. The in media res start could have been fine-tuned, but it all works. Jake Lockley's role is inspired.
I even like the B strip almost as much as the A. It's dense and well-plotted for just 8 pages, telling a pretty complete story. It introduces a cool flashback character and provides a solid excuse for future Blade cameos--one which I hope the regular creators use.
I've been loving this run of Moon Knight, and this was another pretty good issue. I will say that I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending. It wasn't necessarily "bad" or anything; it just fell a little flat for me, personally. The backup was interesting, and I'm hoping if we'll be seeing Blade a little more often with it seeming like he'll be mentoring/helping Reese in a way.
It's alright I guess. I don't think there was anything really wrong, it just felt pretty stale.
