Rosenbergs coloring plays into that as well, utilizing the books color palette to twist the knife of emotion in the rooftop sequence. This issue is a microcosm of what makes this book such an interesting read month to month and speaks to the serialized aspect of comics. Its hard to steer readers wrong when recommending this book, as it delivers on all levels and offers something for everyone, whether it be classic comic references, strong character work, or stunning paneling and layouts.

Cappuccio delivers thrilling and beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. The visuals are sharp and seeing Tigra in action was awesome. Read Full Review

Tigra guesses the truth about the Midnight Man long before she catches up with him, is hurt by the truth Marc has kept from her, and yet finds forgiveness in her heart when he apologizes leading to a shift in their dynamic that will be interesting to see explored not just between the two of them but between Tigra and his various other personalities as well. While not part of a larger arc, and centered on someone other than the comic's main character, there's quite a bit to enjoy here. Let's see where this goes. Read Full Review

Moon Knight #22 is an odd Moon Knight issue in that it has almost nothing to do with Moon Knight. However, if you're interested in getting to know the history and character of Tigra, you're in for a treat. Read Full Review

I love the way Tigra is written in this book.

Just wonderful. And so many superhero comics these days treat their supporting casts like little more than window dressing for the main character, so it's really wonderful to see MacKay & Cappuccio unfraid to sideline the protagonist a bit in favor of going into detail on the people in Marc's world

Amazing Tigra solo issue.

It was a great character study about Tigra, the balance between being a mother and hero, living on instincts, her insecurities (i.e. trust), and her relationships with her child, Hank and Marc.

It’s rare for an issue to summarise a character’s life so well, like before this issue I didn’t even know Tigra had a child, or that it was with a Skrull Hank chick. Add him to the contrived Pym family tree. So I guess William is a skrull too then?

My personal issue is the romance. I don’t like Marc x Tigra, never have. They work great as platonic friends and I don’t want a relationship to ruin that. Ppl are gonna say it won’t, but the thing is there’s a high chance they’ll be split up once the next writer comes along. I just hope it doesn’t affect their relationship.

Side note: I guess Hank is officially dead. R.I.P. more

This is so damn good.

Jed MacKay, never leave this title.

Tigra goes off like a bomb in this spotlight issue. It's a classic character study and a model of everything a good study can do.

There's ample insight into her state of mind. More importantly, there are dramatic decisions here that illuminate and alter her relationships with other characters.

There's a healthy action quotient, too, helped along as usual by the elegant, dynamic art. And the action does a great job of developing both the short and long-term plotting.

There are even strong continuity links. In contrast to some previous issues, these are tightly connected to the story of the moment, contributing depth without being overwhelming.

This series has never dipped anywhere close to "bad" or even "average." For me, #22 still represents a huge upswing and a high point. I loved reading this. more

Despite the minimal use of the book's titular character, this was a great issue primarily about Tigra. I hadn't read much of her material before this, but this issue alone got me invested in her character. Her relationship with her son, William, was very enjoyable. Her inner monologue was done very well also, and it reminds everyone just how good Jed MacKay is at writing (Alessandro Cappuccio's art was fantastic once again as well). I'm not 100% sure how I feel about Marc and Greer possibly being a couple quite yet, but I am a sucker for a good romance, so hopefully it turns out well. All in all, this was an awesome Tigra-focused issue.

Made me care more about Tigra, and her presence in this series. Also had some good work with Marc.

Why the hell isn't there a Tigra solo book? I love this issue because I love Tigra. I know a lot of people didn't like it because Moon Knight was a secondary character. I love the relationship with her son and her going hunting. Not sure about the B-story. That seemed thrown in around the Tigra story. I wish Jed Mckay would just write a Tigra book. Female Skrulls can get male reproductive parts? Seems weird.

not bad at all. I really enjoyed this issue. Jed Mackay really shines in this issue.

This was okay. Reminded me of a stupid feel good sitcom.
