Following Marc Spector's triumphant return in BLOOD HUNT #4, Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio's acclaimed run on Moon Knight continues in a special prelude issue to the new MOON FIST OF KHONSHU ongoing series arriving this October. This previously unannounced issue follows up on Marc's return, and not only is it an essential chapter, it's also a perfect starting point for readers who want to jump into one of the hottest modern Marvel sagas. This issue underscores the scope of MacKay and Cappuccio's riveting take on the Moon Knight mythos by spotlighting the now-iconic crew of the Midnight Mission, shedding light on recent developments, and setting the stage for Marc Spector's next era!
This very much is a glorified promotional comic that, if I let my more cynical side speak, should’ve been free; however, I do feel that it is a good piece of MacKay's ongoing run that justifies its price, it’s a nice refresher on what’s been happening both during the MK book and Blood Hunt, while also prepping and making you anticipate what’s gonna go down in both Vengeance of MK and the main Fist of Khonshu book.
Overall, I enjoyed it and can’t wait to see what comes next.
Little more than a preview issue of an upcoming series. No plot, but mostly splash pages of beautiful art and Khonshu exulting on the return of his most favored son.
I was pulled into this "zero" issue by the sneaky way Marvel placed this on their final order cutoff list. This was supposed to be a "secret" issue, so it piqued my interest. It should have stayed secret.
It was nice to see Khonshu’s thoughts, his perspective, and where Marc stands with him, as historically, He and Khonshu have had a rocky relationship.
I really hope that Marc is written from now on with the Midnight Mission around. Well, at least for now. After all, if Krakoa can fall and separate the x-men…well, any family can become estranged.
Good entry point, especially for Marc Specter’s MoonKnight. I know these type of 0 issues are like a prologue to the rest of the story, but it just felt like Khonshu introducing all of ~His Fists™️~ on each page and didn’t feel any hint of what’s to come.
If you've ever wanted to get into Moon Knight this may be the best starting position tbh, a great recap of what's happened up to this point and the most I've ever liked that bird mf
