SWEET DREAMS, MOON KNIGHT! A plague of dreams sweeps through a tenement building, the boundaries between the world of sleep and that of the waking grow porous and Moon Knight must deal with his old enemy Morpheus! But what secret does Morpheus hold...and how will that bring a terrifying new understanding to the seemingly unconnected incidents of the recent past?
Rated T+
Moon Knight remains one of the strongest titles that Marvel is putting out to shelves, and each element of the book reinforces that status. Even as the storys finish line starts to come into focus, MacKay and co. ensure the issue never feels the downsides to that. Instead, Moon Knight #24 is a great reminder of what makes this title so special as it switches gears into its other mode of storytelling. Read Full Review
Sabbatini delivers some great art in the issue. The action is fantastic and I love the self-contained environment of the story as well as the intricate visuals of the dream sequences. Read Full Review
Writer Jed MacKay is able to flesh out Marc's other personalties without derailing the momentum of the story, and in just one issue Morpheus makes quite the impressive as well, with an arc that feels earned despite of how compact it is. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #24 sends Moon Knight down a rabbit hole of blissful dreams and nightmares to hunt for the dream-manipulating Morpheus. The surreal scenes intentionally create a disorienting feeling, and readers finally get the name of the mastermind behind Moon Knight's recent trouble. That said, the issue is a little too confusing in the beginning due to the lack of setup, and the art gets lost in some of the darker panels. Read Full Review
Fantastic issue
Since the beginning of this run I've much preferred Cappuccio's art to Sabbatini's, but I must say...Sabbatini's art has been getting progressively better. This might be his best work yet.
Banger after banger.
I love you Jed.
It's crazy that we're almost 30 issues into this series and just continues to deliver with great quality books. This issue is no exception. It's been well-documented throughout my reviews of this run how much I love Alessandro Cappuccio's art, but Sabbatini does some of his best work on the title yet with this issue, in my opinion. It seems to me that, at times, he's trying to emulate Cappuccio's art into his work here, but I don't mind one bit as long as the art is good. Plus, I thought Marc going through the different dreams was very well-done and I'm glad MacKay didn't spend more time than needed on Marc trying to figure out who the big villain was. With the special over-sized #25 coming out soon, this series continues to keep me interesmore
a very fun issue
It's another breathless sprint of a whodunnit, loaded with continuity nods, action, and hard-boiled dialogue. The art is solid, albeit a little cartoony in the dreams and occasionally hard to parse in Moon Knight. But the sheer speed and the exciting forward motion of the plot make it all good.
"Tristerions of the Cult of the Muted Horn" is a straight-up shout out to Thomas Pynchon's Crying of Lot 49. I wouldn't give the book an automatic 10/10 for that…but I couldn't honestly say I wasn't tempted to do so.
"The protagonist has a series of tempting visions that they ultimately reject in favor of reality" is an antique plot in comics (and an older one in the history of literature as a whole) but MacKay & Sabbatini make the ending hit anyway because this comic never misses even when it does the obvious stuff.
It was another good issue. Lots of interesting scenes involving the personalities of Marc.
Moon Knight is the new Daredevil. Even his worst issues are very good.
An intriguing issue with the return of Morpheus whose revelation at the end leaves me excited but hesitant as it seems too good to be true. MacKay's portrayal of Moon Knight's alters feels personal and refreshing. Sabbatini's art is good, particularly some early pages. While the art gives off a welcomed noir and dreamlike look, some panels feel too empty. As always with this series I'm left wanting to read more, hoping my remaining questions will be answered in issue #25.
