spankymac314's Vengeance of the Moon Knight #8 - Killed, Not Dead: Chapter 2: Sweet Slumber review

    Anti-climactic, but good.


    I'm guessing this is the end of this little mini-arc, and that's disappointing. Issue #7 gave me hope for a bit of a longer story, but apparently, this is it. In that context, it all feels a bit rushed, but there is good in this issue. Deadpool interrupting Moon Knight's inner monologue was great, and the hall of mirrors made for a nice little visual. Gregg Hurwitz knows how to write Deadpool, as a genuine weirdo who's a stunningly competent assassin/fighter. He keeps the jokes low key and subtle, and it works better than some of the Deadpool main titles, where it feels like you're getting bashed over the head with the funny. The bad thing about this is that it feels like this whole thing ends a little suddenly, and it's really hard to like how the whole thing ends. And the preview page for next  month has me anticipating the next issue already. Pick it up if you're a fan of Moon Knight or Deadpool. Otherwise, it's hard to recommend it. It's a good book, but it's not the place to jump in if you're new to the series.

       “KILLED, NOT DEAD,” Part 2 It’s crazy versus crazier when Moon Knight squares off against Deadpool! Herman Goncharenko lies at death’s door, wasting away of cancer, but someone wants him killed, not dead. Someone desperate enough to hire the Merc with the Mouth to do the dirty deed. Gonchrenko’s only hope: the reformed Moon Knight. But is he in Deadpool’s weight class? Heck, is anyone?" (Summary from Marvel Comics)Each week I hope for a spark of remorse in Moon Knight to shine through and this ...
