Ferreira delivers some great art throughout the issue. The action is visually stunning and as thrilling as the story. Read Full Review

Moon Knight: City of the Dead is a must-buy for fans of the MCU show, but also for fans of the supernatural elements of the character. There's nothing more supernatural than throwing a supernatural character into a supernatural setting, which is well done here. Read Full Review

The setup and execution here is solid all around and it covers the necessary bases while doing it with style. As is the case with most books like this, it has to satisfy both new readers and old fans so there's a lot of familiar narration or flashback material that's blended in to help with that and it can be tiring but necessary. Once beyond that, there's a lot to like with how it plays out as Pepose captures a solid voice for Marc in both his forms and I really love the visuals for the city itself once they cross over. The only thing is that it's just doing so much so fast that the pacing left me with a bit of whiplash as it has to try and provide enough hooks to keep you coming back, which I understand. But it's frustrating to be stuck in this cycle sometimes as it can take a great work and bring it down a bit. Read Full Review

Towards the end of the comic, the team-up heading into future issues is simply amazing. This scene alone is enough to keep readers hooked and looking forward to the next issue. Read Full Review

I was glad to pick this up. It's written well, and visually once it gets its footing, it really shines. I've lapsed on the main series, and this just makes me want to catch up. Read Full Review

City of the Dead captures what's allowed this new era of Moon Knight to thrive while adding its own flavor and style to the mix, and it would seem that Moon Knight fans have a whole new reason to look forward to new comic book day. Read Full Review

Now that Marc is off into realms beyond life, Pepose and company are going to have to tread pretty lightly. The supernatural location is going to pose some problems, as it might bend Marc in an exclusively supernatural direction thats going to alienate the basic humanity of the character. Moon Knight has always worked best as a balance between street-level crime and the supernatural. If Pepose and company can maintain that, theyll have a hell of a series on their hands.

Moon Knight: City of the Dead #1 is a whirlwind of fast-paced and captivating ideas that will excite any reader, but it sometimes runs the risk of overwhelming them. Read Full Review

The issue works as a fine introduction to a comic where a determined Moon Knight will be in a different realm filled not only with the Sons of the Jackal he dispatched at the beginning of this comic but plenty of old enemies he's sent to the afterlife. Read Full Review

Moon Knight: City of the Dead #1 sends Moon Knight on a journey to the Underworld to save a boy's soul. There are copious amounts of big, loud action and obstacles to hinder Moon Knight's quest, but the volume of noise crowds out what amounts to a super simple plot, making for a frequently tedious read.

It's stylish--nearly as stylish as the current Moon Knight volume. It looks good and Marc has plenty of cool tough-guy lines. But it's not all that focused, digressing frequently and making slow progress on its plot. It's a fun read, but not a fast one.

This was a fun start to this miniseries. It's pretty straightforward with its story and dialogue, but that doesn't make it bad. The art here is solid, and the story throughout just feels like a classic comic book adventure. While this was good, I was really hoping it would be as good as Jed MacKay's current Moon Knight run, with this coming out of Issue 25. While it doesn't reach those heights, it's still solid and entertaining.
