Review: Vengeance of the Moon Knight #10
I'm never a big fan of the crazy hero, but I must admit, I sat down and read the first five Moon Knight trades back-to-back one day (the series previous to Vengeance). That stuff is awesome! Kind of weird that he's functioning on a team though, after the way he's portrayed in his previous series.
Speculating from the mythology, Valkyries are choosers of the slain, and I think it was said that only the dying could see them, and then only if the Valkyrie was coming for them. (It's 1AM on the West coast, and this memory is a little tired right now, so forgive me if I got that wrong.) Going by that, it might be safe to say that with Marvel's Valkyrie, only those she allows to see her can see her (and her horse) so it might not be so ridiculous as it seems. However, a stealth team requires a unit that's of the same mind, that can be trusted to carry out the plan. Way back in the Defenders, she was more of the jump ahead before she hears the plan type. So *that* makes her seem like an odd choice. Maybe she's learned better by now.
After the Deadpool and Spider-Man issues, I was afraid that this series would fall flat on its face from all the cross-overs with other characters. So much so that I was amazed I was even buying this issue at all. But hoo-boy, were those fears alleviated. In fact, I'm hoping that this leads to Brubaker giving MK just a liiiittle push in future Secret Avengers issues.
The one bad thing I'd say about the art was that Widow's hair made her look like she was in a Whitesnake video.
Valkyrie does not belong on a team, or anywhere else for that matter with her brutal steed.
this issue was crap compared to the rest of vengeance of mk
