Moon Knight Volume 2: Blackout
by Brian Wood
Moon Knight and I have this weird connection. It's like I want to love his comics but I can never really get FULLY invested despite loving the idea behind him.
So here it is. The Brain Wood run which is 6 issues. This time we get more a psychological warfare type fight. With a character who wants a certain political figure dead she begins to recruit people to do her dirty work. When Moon Knight believes she is trying to recruit him he goes face to face with her. In doing so you find out her true intentions, but even deeper, get to see the inside workings of Mr. Knight's mental stability.
Good: The story itself is interesting (even if I didn't love the exacution) the dialog is tight and easy to follow without it being TOO big or "MYSTERIOUS" just because it's Moon Knight. I also enjoyed the pacing, was quick and easy read. I thought the start was really cool to see Moon Knight in his detective phase.
Bad: The ending just kind of gave me the "okay" feeling. I want to feel something for the ending of a Moon Knight story but like most I've read I just get the "Well that's it?" type feeling. Also, the main antagonist here is just okay.
Overall a fine enough story. Moon Knight doesn't have a bad run yet, but also not an amazing one. So once more a 3 out of 5 for our crazed hero here.
