Moon Knight #27

Moon Knight #27 transitions the book into its final stretch, utilizing that transformative energy to explore new dimensions that feel like a natural progression of the story being told. MacKays scripting sheds its episodic structure to adopt a serialized final set of issues. Sabbitini taps in to deliver both a crazed version of Vibros mindscape and captures the energy of transiting from action to emotional storytelling to ground the issue as it enters the final fight with Black Spectre. Rosenbergs coloring once again ties everything together and makes the transitions feel deliberate on every page. The book has once again proved it has tricks up its sleeves, and makes a pivot feel like the most vital element of the book even as the endgame comes into focus. Read Full Review

Sabbatini delivers blistering action throughout the issue. The visual style of this story is great and I love the visual representation of Vibros fractured mind. Read Full Review

Moon Knight #27 is a great comic from front to back, primarily because it does two things exceptionally well. First, it makes creative use of a useless (and gross) villain from early in MacKay's run, and second, MacKay fits multiple pieces together from the entirety of his run to unveil a plan with massive implications for MK. Elevated by outstanding art from Sabbatini and Rosenberg, this is one of the best issues in MacKay's run. Read Full Review

While some of the Black Spectre plans and plot aren't as strong, the relationship between Hunter's Moon and Moon Knight and their discoveries along the way are well worth your time. Read Full Review

This book continues to be one of Marvel's best. Jed Mackay's Moon Knight is shaping up to be the best run on the character in decades.

This is setting up to be a fantastic showdown. I love the constant use of muystical themes on this book.

This was a cool adventure with Marc and Badr, but nothing more. It helps that MacKay is an awesome writer, especially when it comes to dialogue. I may be rating this a little higher because I just read Moon Knight: City of the Dead #2, in which the dialogue felt a little generic (You can read my review on said issue for more thoughts). However, I still enjoyed this. While I always miss Alessandro Cappuccio whenever he leaves this title, Sabbatini's art isn't bad by any means. I'm really looking forward to getting into the "Last Days of Moon Knight" storyline with the next issue, even if it's possibly the end of the series.

I am torn with this one. The creators throw on some stylish, appealing bells and whistles to make this a lot more than just "Moon Knight interrogates Vibro." The strongest part is the thematic tie binding the three spotlight characters: They're all dealing with their own form of fractured personality. But the ultimate prize here is the revelation of Black Spectre's plan, and that plan left me underwhelmed. A "meh" moment that no amount of talented window dressing can entirely redeem. It also feels that although this episode is complete as presented, it's a little short for a full issue, a little decompressed. For all its dynamism, the fighting is filler that doesn't build as much tension as the creators hope it will. So what we're left with is a comic that I think is one of the volume's weaker issues--but still a good read compared to the average book being sold today. more

I do like the Hunter's Moon character and his banter with Marc, but this issue felt more like a Doctor Strange book. They enter the mind of Vibro and meet his normal persona to get info about Black Spectre. I like the Black Specter character, but this one just seemed out of place for me.

I was not as impressed with this issue as I have been with most of this run. It just felt a little campy and a little to dull. It had some bight spots, but didn't feel as unique as I would have hoped.
