Its not just Ra who sees great potential in Marlenes heroism. And..yknow...if editors at Marvel are listening...with great potential comes great responsibility. Im ready for Luminary to have her own series. Really. It would be totally cool so long as Shultz wrote it. Its a clever idea and a fun concept, and really...it would make a nice contrast to the adventures of Marc Spector. The contrast between the Sun and the moon would be really interesting on the comics rack within the Marvel Universe. Schultz doesnt have to do much to set Marlene up as a fun hero, though it WOULD be interesting to see what kind of a costume Bill Sienkiewicz might have rendered for her in some parallel universe...

This is a good comic. It makes for a satisfying read with just a little bit of reader buy-in. The motivations are honest and rational, the action's exciting, and it's a well-paced revenge story that hits all the right plot points before reaching a satisfying conclusion.

However, it's not a particularly inventive revenge story. It's distinguished solely by the particular characters plugged into it. If you DON'T buy in, reading a two-three sentence summary will serve you just as well as reading the comic.

Moon Knight is one of those characters with a particularly dedicated fanbase. I'm not part of it, so I can't gauge its reaction to this alternate story. The creators may have committed some unforgivable Moon Knight sin here, and I wouldn't know. All I know is that it's a good if inessential comic.
