"Welcome to the Midnight Mission. My name is Doctor Moon. How can I help?" Moon Knight may be indisposed in the wake of the DEVIL'S REIGN, but the mission continues. In his absence, an erstwhile ally takes up the fight, but will the mystery of Stained-Glass Scarlet prove to be too much for Hunter's Moon, the Fist of Khonshu?
Rated T+
Cappuccio has a wonderful visual style and that comes through in both the beautifully detailed character moments as well as the thrilling action scenes. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #8 despite being a spotlight on someone other than Moon Knightstill continues the great story building since issue one. It really is a great done-in-one issue that you dont have to have read the previous 7 issues to follow. Especially if you want to read a story with a character that is still new and a little back story that you need to know before going in. Also, I want to call out my favorite line in the issue that actually made me chuckle: MY GOD HAS NO ANGELS. ONLY FISTS Read Full Review
Giving Hunter Moon an issue to develop while Moon Knights occupied with one of the monthly Marvel events, was a nice treat. Giving MacKay the chance to scrape below what weve seen, and make him a more well rounded and complex character. It also adds potential for future conflict with the two fists of Khonshu, and the difference in how they serve him as his avatars on the earthly realm. Read Full Review
Moon Knight has yet to miss a step since launch, and the stellar run continues. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #8 takes a novel approach to event tie-ins by not connecting to the event and keeping the hero out of his own title. Dishonest marketing aside, the old/new villains is now a high concept reboot that takes more than a little brainpower to figure out, and the art is excellent. Read Full Review
Moon Knight #8 is a weird issue, but one that focuses on the positive relationship between Khonshu and this Fist. This is certainly a contrast to Moon Knight's relationship to his god. Hunter's Moon summons his god, one of the oldest stories, to battle one of the newest (who is apparently a godling?). The art is the real highlight here, providing some fun moments even if the story is a bit hit-and-miss and ends without offering any resolution. Read Full Review
Hunter Moon is dope.
Needs to become a mainstay in moon knight mythos
I loved this! Honestly it was one of my favorite issues of what has been a stellar run! Hunter's moon is proving to be a fantastic character. The artwork was fantastic I had to take a moment before turning each page to take another look at each panel
Another Great Issue by MacKay.
This was a really fun detour for Devil's Reign. It works as a standalone story, and allows us to see more of Hunter's Moon.
This was a really good issue, which is a little surprising due to this being a issue solely focused on Hunter’s Moon. That’s not to say I think he’s a bad character or anything, because I’ve actually really been enjoying him so far in this series. However, my “shock” comes from the fact that this is the first time Badr has been given the spotlight to himself for a whole issue and I just wasn’t sure whether or not his character would be capable of leading an issue. I should have known he’d be able to, especially with Jed MacKay writing the scripts. Like the rest of the run thus far, this was very well-written and is another showcase of why MacKay has quickly become one of my favorite current writers, if not my absolute favorimore
I was slightly concerned by the idea of not having Moon Knight in this issue, but nah, Hunter's Moon can carry an issue himself. I wonder how Stained-Glass Scarlet will come into play later in the series, but this was immensely enjoyable as a stand alone issue.
Every storyteller has at least one of these "stories are living things" stories in them, and here's one of Jed MacKay's.
Is it revolutionary? No. Is it incredibly deep? No.
But it's a damn fun read. It's well-illustrated. And best of all, to me, it serves to do some significant character work on Hunter's Moon.
Take it all together, and you've got something that's not quite great, but not far from greatness.
(And that one line, you know the one, is worth some points all by itself.)
I don't like how misleading the top right corner is advertised as a "Devil's Reign Tie-In" as it is barely mentioned within a panel or 2 AT BEST BUT I do love that MacKay understands that continuity should matter and the fact that we have MK dealing with the DR event stuff for an issue in his own book is nice while simultaneously giving the issue spotlight to Hunter's Moon.
Cappuccio is absolutely stellar on the pencils and the colors are absolute eye candy. Ending was intriguing too.
It was OK. It wasn't bad but, it was just a one shot story about Hunters Moon.
not bad, but not groundbreaking either. Just fine tbh.
Not a bad issue, Badr is an interesting character, just wasn't a big fan of the religious meaning behind the dialogue.
