Not Entirely a Bullseye, but not far off
Possible spoilers
Continuing Bendis's current run of Moon Knight, this issue continues Marc Spector's war against the Kingpin of L.A. And by continues I mean it sets up some further stuff for the arc. Honestly, this issue is mostly setting up and introducing more characters.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Marc ends up getting a new sidekick in the form of Buck Lime, a former SHIELD agent. We also see some of the behind-the-scenes stuff of Marc's TV series, which I enjoyed as the last issue had nothing to do with the TV series. Marc trying to convince Echo to hang out with him was also pretty good. The final page does a good job of setting up the next handful of villains for Marc, and I'm looking forwards to seeing the upcoming fight.
However, whilst this series does set up some further plot points nicely, it's also it's biggest flaw. As I mentioned above, Marc gets a new sidekick, and most of the issue is Marc talking to him and deciding whether he's trustworthy or not. The idea of a new sidekick was a good idea, but it ended up being stretched out a bit too long. I also think that ''Bullseye'' was in the issue solely for the cover to try and trick people into buying it.
Overall, the issue wasn't as bad as it could have been, but I hope that the action picks up again soon. I can forgive an issue or two of setting up if it is essential to the end of the story, but any more and it gets too slow. The final page sets up some more villains, so hopefully we'll get to see some more action next issue.
