Comic Watch - Dustin Gebel
Nov 22, 2023Rounded out by Rosenbergs palette, which unifies the various designs and elements, the book sticks the landing in a genuine tale of myth, monsters, and managing the guilt of a hero. Sometimes the Big 2 needs a meat-and-potatoes comic like this to get into the heart of the characters and add a layer of substance. Read Full Review

The resolution is a little unfocused, and this issue features a weird take on Marc's DID. However, it does bring things in for a solid happily-ever-after that might impact Moon Knight's status quo in the future. The art is strong, too.

A Moon Knight book that leans into his DID to save the day has already been done a bunch. It also reminds me of Pepose's Savage Avengers in a not so good way. He just seems to spell everything out, and does that tired trope of just having the character/s just say whatever they are doing as they are doing it. It's just cheesy and comes across like the dated ways of older comics.
