Jul 25, 2018There is a part of me that wishes we got a bit more Moon Knight, but what is here is strong, and finished off with a compelling hook for next issue. Read Full Review

Jul 31, 2018A very clear build-up issue for the next major story arc that, while providing some interesting backstories and a greater dive into Marc's psyche, doesn't do enough to have it stand on it's own as a great issue. Combined as part of a trade it would fit in well but I wouldn't recommend picking it up by itself outside of needing to keep track of the story. Read Full Review

A society of world-class sadists meets up to share their passion and Moon Knight invites himself along. The slightly sophomoric stories of the sadists are livened up considerably by strong structure, excellent art, and a beezer of a cliffhanger. It's a pretty transparent "homage" to de Sade's 120 Days, but I like the modern touches like throwing a Terry Richardson analog into the mix.

Once again, while not bad, Moon Knight has really sunk in quality. While people like Ellis and Lemire used the mental aspect of the character to enhance the stories, Bemis is starting to use it as one big cliche and is pigeonholing Moon Knight into the same lackluster stories. I love the art and while some of the ideas are cool and it's pretty well written, Bemis has to start diversifying his stories or else I might hop off the wagon on one of my favorite characters until a new writer takes over.
