This was a different kind of Moon Knight Annual. It start out at a therapy session for these women that have been raped. One story leads to the next, and it soon turns out that they were all victimized by the same serial rapist. The first girl is the one who started doing all the digging. After she healed up a bit, she was just angry, so she started looking for him. Trying to find him through his fake identity and occupation was next to impossible. But what she did find was many more victims with stories similar to hers. It wasn't until about the fourth victim that he had garnered the Moon Knight's attention. He got him in an alley, as he was on his way to raping his next victim, but since the girl didn't have any idea of his intentions, she thought that her date was being attacked by some psycho. So she tasers him. Shortly after, the drugs that the scum-bag had slipped her start to take effect. And as she's passing out she sees her date coming towards her with a sinister smile, and Moon Knight coming at him from behind. Next thing she knows, she's back in her apartment, and her date is in the hospital labeled as a serial rapist. But the second girl, whom Moon Knight saved, when she was so distraught over the incident that she tried jumping off a building, also sees his picture in the paper and decides to take her own action. She goes to visit him and pinches off his oxygen tube. " . . I told him he wouldn't be seeing me anymore. I can't tell you how good that felt. So, So nice." I'm a little confused as to what the moral of this story is. Is it that the Moon Knight inspires people to take justice in to their own hands? Or is it that if you're evil, the Moon Knight will find you and kick your ass? I'm really not sure. It was an interesting book, but I don't know if I really agree with the approach.
