At least the creative team is continuing the story with Vengeance of the Moon Knight, even if it's without Marc Spector. Mackay and Cappucio are making a strong case for best MK run ever and I'm glad we're not losing them just yet.
Moon Knight and his allies race to intercept the Black Spectre before his apocalyptic schemes bear fruit - but the clock is ticking, and a city hangs in the balance.
Rated T+
Moon Knight #28 is a pitch-perfect story for the character, taking the best elements of the run and elevating them thanks to heightened stakes and continued practice. McKay begins to pay off the investment of characters over the last few years, as he allows the characters to thrive in their quiet moments before battle. Sabbatinis art is at its apex, working in bits of Cappuccios style for a striking one-two punch of bittersweet emotion and cascading action. The coloring choices from Rosenberg work as the glue that binds the issue together and makes the final product strong on the page. This is an issue that rewards long-time readers while showing what is possible when a creative team is given the time and space to build up a run and tell a sweeping story that remains firmly planted in character.

Sabbatini delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. There is a frenetic pace to the action throughout and that comes through in imagery that is bloody, violent and beautifully detailed. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #28 kicks off "The Last Days of Moon Knight" storyline, paying off two years' worth of work from its creative team. This has been one of the best Moon Knight runs I've ever read, and I'm glad that MacKay will continue to steer Moon Knight's adventures in Vengeance of the Moon Knight. Khonshu himself would be proud. Read Full Review
There's plenty of action for fans with the heroes fighting their way through the obstacles the Black Spectre has put in their paths, and some nice little character moments between the heroes as they journey into what could be their last adventure together. With the outcome all but assured, the journey continues. Read Full Review
The issue's frenzied pace allowed the ending to sneak up a bit unexpectedly, but that's credit to the story and the final collision that the arc has been building towards. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #28 infuses the meandering series with big stakes, energy, and urgency in the penultimate issue, leading to the showdown with Black Spectre (and maybe Moon Knight's death). MacKay's script gets all the heroes and villains in place for maximum impact, and the art has plenty of engaging panel angles, but the villain is forgettable, and the pencils/inks look rushed.

I always miss Cappuccio's art whenever he's not on, but Sabbatini has been getting better throughout the run.
It's painful that this is ending.
An awesome issue here that really feels like it's the first part of a grand finale. Based off of this, we seem to be in for a ride with the upcoming final two issues of the series. I'm very glad to hear the story will continue, even if it's spiritually with Vengeance of the Moon Knight in January. Back to this issue itself, this was simply a great start to this storyline that really builds upon the characters featured in the series up until this point to create an entertaining story. I love Jed MacKay and I love Moon Knight.
I'm not too keen on how the artist drew Tigra in this issue. It was very anime. Being a Tigra fan, I don't like how McKay took her out of the battle. Hunter's Moon dives into a battle where no one uses the guns they are carrying and just when Moon Knight engages Black Spectre, the issue ends. I like the fact that he still has the knife stuck in his back, thought I'm not sure how he can fight with it in there. It was the perfect moment for him to remove it and drop it to the floor while he was speaking to Black Spectre.

It's not the best this series has to offered, but it's fun and entertaining.
