PARENTAL ADVISORY
Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood #3features a trio of tales that showcase the range of stories the lunar vigilante can be a part of. With only one more issue to go, I hope the best was saved for last. And I also hope this isn't the end of the Black, White & Blood anthologies because there are plenty of Marvel characters who fit the format. Read Full Review
In “Wrong Turn” three bank robbers pick the wrong cab to hijack as they get taken for a ride they will never forget by Jake Lockley. Poor fools. And Moon Knight fights off a cult in an attempt to save a young woman from becoming their sacrifice in “No Empty Sky” which also features a discussion between the hero and Khonshu about Marc Spector's role as his vessel (and what should happen if he should fall).

Black, White & Blood #3 delivers the weakest collection of Moon Knight short stories in the series thus far, which isn't to say it's a weak inclusion overall. Read Full Review
Moon Knight: Black, White, & Blood #3 delivers three tales of adventure starring the fist of Khonshe. Unfortunately, the shorts are more miss than hit, leaving you with a sour reading experience. Read Full Review
Ann Nocenti's story really lessened the issue as a whole. And not because it was making fun of Elon Musk. Elon Musk is terrible. It was just... not very well constructed on any level.
It's....fine.
The first strip is fun and funny; the second is well-crafted and thoughtful, featuring a much deeper conflict than you usually see in 10 pages. The third ... all I can say is that commenting on it would violate my new years' "if you can't say anything nice" resolution.
Wrong turn was a fun story about bank robbers who get into the wrong cab, and No empty sky was an outstanding take on Moon Knight’s conflicting natures in that he hates cults yet is talked into inculcating a child he rescues into being Konshu’s next fist.
I was a huge fan of Nocenti’s work on Daredevil but her story here, which came across as a petty attack on an Elon Musk-like parody, was complete garbage and by far the weakest of the anthology.
