Of the 17 books in this series so far . . this one made the most sense to me yet. Which really says a lot, because . . . well, because this character, and this story, is still pretty . . out there. If you put any other hero in the Marvel Universe in to this situation . . it most definitely would not work. Not even close! But the Moon Knight, or Marc Spector in particular, is especially suited for this type of drama. I'd like to say that I think Mike Benson is doing a superb job on the story-lines. He's picked right up from his predecessor, Charlie Huston, without missing a beat. I'm also thrilled to death that Mark Texeira and Javier Saltares have become the artistic duo on this title. It's bad news for Ghost Rider though. Speaking of which, I'm really surprised that the Ghost Rider and Moon Knight haven't crossed paths more often. Wishful thinking, I guess. Anyways, now, it seems that Moon Knight has gone over the edge and is becoming an executioner, as well as judge and jury, by killing his victims, and leaving a crescent moon carved in their foreheads. At least that's what the media would have the viewers, the police, the government and SHIELD think. We know different, but, that's because we know that Carson Knowles, who recently was released from prison, is actually responsible. He must have a pretty big hard-on for Moonie if he's willing to go to all this trouble to set him up. This issue ends with Marc in his hanger arguing with his pilot for shooting those guys on their last excursion, when all of the sudden . . . BOOM!! They're surrounded by SHIELD agents, and Iron Man. "Move one inch Spector and you'll be nothing but a stain on the ground. We've got some things to discuss." Overall I thought it was a fantastic issue, and now . . I can't wait for the next one. A great effort from all involved.
