Marc Spector may have returned from the dead, but life isn't any easier! Moon Knight has failed! With blood on his hands and a fractured team, Marc Spector faces a sort of confessional with his god Khonshu - who's known less for his forgiveness and more for his vengeance! Against a backdrop of turmoil, 8-Ball finds a new crew. But who or what is the Pool Party?! Wounded and with his alliances hanging by a thread, will 8-Ball do the unthinkable and return to a life of crime? Wielding a sword from Vanaheim and with an ax to grind comes Carver, righthand woman of Achilles Fairchild! Moon Knight's already gotten stomped by Fairchild himself and only lived by the grace of Khonshu! But the Moon God's patience is wearing thin, and Carver's blade craves blood! Collecting MOON FIST OF KHONSHU (2024) #6-10.

A really good volume of Moon Knight. It was great to see Hank Pym back and the rest of the supporting cast were used to good effect, too… particularly Tigra and Eight-Ball.

Jed MacKay clearly loves Moonie and his efforts to make him more of a major player in the MU are much appreciated by this long-time fan.

Also, while the art is of a high standard across the board, how good is Rachelle Rosenberg’s colour work? Serious props deserved!

3.5*

Reports of Moonie's death have been greatly exaggerated, and he's back in action to take down Faichild with the help of his friends.

A good volume, but a little drawn out and perhaps overusing the supernatural to suit the needs of the storyline. However, this does allow for some good effects when resolving tense situations.
I hated the issue with Pym, which made far too many references to events and characters I'd never heard of, and I find it difficult to include him in the MK universe.
Good artistic team too, very dynamic, which I find more readable than Capuccio.

Loving this current run of this character!

This was such a fantastic volume as we learn more about what Marc is going through after the beating and the team reformation and the way he is like I am gonna work with y'all again was like been there done that and even Tigra calls him out over it but I love the way its shown and then the way they take the fight to Achillies one step at a time like devising a anti-agent against Glitter and then vs Carver and her magical sword Ginnarr which I have to say is one of the best issues ever specially the art its freaking awesome!

Such a cool dialogue "What is a dragon to a God?" and that all and then finally the scenes in here and there and Greer getting some cool moments as she is fighting and then the final issue fight where Achillies gathers all his former villains and the team has to fight against them and this is the 50th issue overall of Mackay's run and its so epic and then the climax of it all!

The final fight is teased as more mysteries of where did Fairchild go and then also the return of a villain from this run which is big and sort of like Marc's Joker aka ZODIAC! So that should be a fun battle. But overall its such a good story arc and I had a fun time reading it!! The art was on next level literally and he follows on after Alexandro really well!

Moon Knight takes the fight to Achilles Fairchild, with back-up in forms even he couldn't have counted on. MacKay's story proceeds abreast as it always does, tapping into old Moon Knight lore while pushing Marc (and friends) into new places in the wake of the Blood Hunt. I wanted to say that I liked how much Blood Hunt has been affecting this book with its fallout, then I remembered MacKay wrote that event too, so it should!

The little falldown I think this book has is the loss of Alessandro Cappucchio on art. Domenico Carbone is decent, but doesn't capture the same less-is-more vibe. Things feel like they're coloured in swathes, so the art loses some nuance here and there, which is a shame. It's not a bad visual at all, but after 2 series of Cappucchio, it definitely feels like a step-down.

Like in any good Moon Knight story, Marc gathers up bits from the chinks in his armor and forges them into a mighty weapon. It's cool seeing his growing supporting cast in action, with 8-Ball adding just the right dash of comedy to this gang of monsters and misfits. (Tigra fits right in here as Marc's ride-or-die were-woman. Greer's fixed in my mind as a pretty hokey character, but she's pretty damn menacing in this book.) If there's still a debate on whether Marc is Marvel's Batman, the selfless choice he makes toward the climax of this story should stick a fork in it. MK's resourcefulness, illustrated through his interactions with an old Avengers teammate, also shines through. It's satisfying to see our hero take apart the enemy piece by piece, just like the Bat so often does-- even if the cliffhanger ending forestalls his vengeance.

[Alex Sarll]

The first volume of this relaunch was a little straightforward for me, but now we're back into the good shit, the outlandish yet heartfelt material MacKay does so well, like Tigra and Khonshu fractious but bonding over their shared love for the infuriating Marc, even if only one of them can admit it to his face. I never thought I'd come so close to tears over a panel featuring only a single character with a bird skull for a head. Plus, more brilliant 8-Ball moments than ever before, including the debut of his own team, the Pool Crew!

The Midnight Mission team pushes forward with their hunt for Fairchild...

How awesome is it that we get cameos by Nadja AND Hank Pym? This volume is full on confrontation with Fairchild's team (and the crappy MK rogue's gallery). The moments between Hank and Mark were pure gold. Two guys that have mental health conditions, knowing they're doing their best. Self sacrificing all the way around...and constantly.

Carver gets schooled by MK. It seems like everybody that tries to take on MK mentally (or spiritually now) is just in for trouble.

[Mik Cope · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a total blast! It had everything, really: superhero / supervillain face-offs; an Asgardian gangster; a dragon!; a soul-stealing sword (where have I come across that before?); the Pool Crew ffs!; highly addictive fairy dust, and Marc Spector dissociating as he comes down off it. Yep, tons of fun!

[Matt Sautman · Rating 5 out of 5]

McKay’s run on Moon Knight is among the strongest long-running storylines I have read with a single author. I only wish the titling was not so complicated as I can easily see a reader only reading Fist of Khonsu vol. 1 instead of beginning with McKay’s previous Moon Knight titles that feel necessary to fully understand the ongoing arcs in character development.

[Corinna · Rating 5 out of 5]

The run is coming to a close and I’m so sad it’s almost over. There’s only ONE VOLUME LEFT and it’s NOT EVEN COMPLETE because the final issue doesn’t come out until DECEMBER AHHHH!!
I need Jed MacKay on Moon Knight forever please and thank you

Moon Knight is always fun. This time there are thankfully very few references to other books and series.

[Beelzefuzz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun reveals and battles. Great lesson from Tigra on spotting creeps.

[Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yep, super fun. Moon Knight doing Moon Knight things, cool antagonist. Art is above average.
