Oct 11, 2023City of the Dead goes for a lot of action here and it has a kind of 80s feeling to it in a way, with Marc surviving some torture, beating the snot out of a lot of nobodies after they make some quips while playing cards, and then going for a bigger action sequence. It's busy and chaotic but it's done in a linear and clear way so that you never lose the plot and it all makes sense as more pieces of it are revealed. And in fairly quick order as well so that it's not dragged out until the very end. There's a satisfying element to all of it as it unfolds with sharp writing, good narration, and strong artwork to keep it all cohesive. Definitely continues to be a solid project that manages its ties-ins to other works effectively as well. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Dustin Gebel
Sep 27, 2023Based on solicits, this was a one-issue fill-in, but it's a shame after seeing how well alternating artists can elevate a book with the main Moon Knight title. This, however, is not enough to recommend dropping the book, and the scripting and coloring still offer enough engaging insight to warrant another issue at the very least. Read Full Review

Sep 27, 2023There are the occasional moments where the dialogue feels just a bit too over the top, but overall City of the Dead continues to explore the Moon Knight mythology in delightful ways, and issue #4 can't get here soon enough. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Sep 27, 2023Moon Knight: City Of The Dead #3 sprints from one scene to the next for Moon Knight and Scarlet Scarab to escape capture, fight villains, save Khalil, get captured again, escape again, and fight a kaiju. Pepose rushes the heroes from point A to B, shortchanging a few scenes in the process, so you get where you need to go, even if the journey is too frantic to enjoy it. Read Full Review

Just your typical hero talking about saving the day while he's doing it. Nothing really wrong, nothing that makes it stand out.

I think this is a fundamentally sound plot, but the storytelling used to convey it is hugely improvable. It's not truly BAD, just underwhelming. The cliches in the dialogue and the cliches in the narration constantly tripping each other up is what rustles my jimmies the most.

DDJamesB summed this issue up pretty well in their review. Moon Knight is a very unique character in the Marvel Universe, but this story just feels very generic. There's some fun and interesting stuff in this issue, which raises my score a bit higher. However, this can feel very run-of-the-mill at times. I'm not sure why they had Hill step in for Marcelo Ferreira in the middle of the miniseries, but his art isn't bad by any means. It's not the greatest, but I wouldn't call it bad. Overall, while I wouldn't call this a bad issue, especially since I think it did have some cool moments, I still think this was closer to average than it was to great.
