while sad that this is the end of this series, I think Jed Mackay is hte beset Moon Knight writer of all time.

This series ended on a high note. McKay has kept me captivated with a Moon Knight run that will start a new chapter soon. It's good stuff.

Better. I like my Moon Knight kind of mean and scary.

A mediocre finale to a series that shouldn't have existed in the first place.
While I did enjoy VoMK 9, it was predictable, and a bit of a let down. The art was actually quite good. The splash page of the fight between Moon Knight and the Shroud remind me of the Grendel / Argent fight from Matt Wagner's Devil by the Deed. The story looked promising, Moon Knight is ordered by the newly freed Konshu to kill the man who usurped his mantle. It was fairly clear he wasn't going to do it. The bait and switch was telegraphed, and it just wasn't satisfying. I have a hard time conceiving that the god would take the betrayal lying down. If there aren't repercussions down the road, I'll be even more disappointed.

Climbing on my soap box for a minute, Why did this series need to exist? It had the same creative team and the previous series. The very first storyline was interrupted by the Shroud exploding at the start of Blood Hunt. The Shroud as Moon Knight went nowhere . The did nothing with it. Marc was dead for about a week, in universe, then he was brought back. The series didn't need a new run, especially one as short as this. They should have just continued the previous series. I am going to read the new Fist of Konshu book, but that shouldn't exist either. The constant rebooting is annoying. more

This could have been much better. Using the old trope of the pwerson dying, but being brought back to accomplish the goal doesn't really work here. You're dealing with a god who deals in souls. Simply dying and being rescuciated doesn't fit with the supernatual lore of Moon Knight. The artwork continues to be good, but I found the story lacking.

Agreed. I have a tough time imagining Konshu taking the betrayal lying down. It was a predictable bait and switch, but it should have consequences. You don't screw over your patron deity and just walk away.
