Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu, Vol. 2: Subterranean Jungle
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? Plus: 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!

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!

The crew from the Midnight Mission goes up against Achilles Fairchild and his gang of Z-list Moon Knight rogues. This was fast-moving and exciting, though it looks like we'll have to wait until the next volume for this all to be wrapped up. Two different (quite different) artists in these five issues. I think I preferred the second, Devmalya Pramanik.

(review broken up by issue)
Issue 6
A very meditative issue which I think is needed with how heavy on the gas pedal the whole first volume was. With Marc in a coma he and Khonshu get a chance to talk and when he wakes up he and Greer need to have a talk too.
I think Jed does such a great job with them as a couple, they're messy and often overly aggressive and selfish; but they still act like adults and are able to talk out their issues like adults and grow from them. You can see both their perspectives as they argue and are routing for them to kiss and make up.
This issue ends with Marc back on his feet and clad in his vestments once more, looks like that gang will be going after Fairchild together now and I do not fancy his chances.
Issue 7
Oh my god this issue has everything! 8-Ball suggesting that to find Hank he'd have kidnapped his kid in the old days and Marc decided don't Ng that's a good idea was hilarious. It was a great excuse to see 8-Ball as a villain again even if it was just a ruse, and him turning Reese, Soldier and Hunters Moon into his 'Pool Party' and the ensuing fight with Nadia Van Dyne was just great. I especially loved the panel of Nadia and 8-Ball looking at her engines together and needing out once the ruse was over. Very cute to see old 8ty making new pals.
Then Hank shows up and the book switches up to Soapy couple dynamics with Tigra Marc and Hank. Jed continues to write the relationship drama exceedingly well and Tigra continues to really shine. I love Marc and Hank's discussion about their mental health issues and parenting and Marc's little twinge of jealousy at Tigra hugging Hank was a good touch.
I think this is the best issue since the end of the 2022 run and I can't wait to see where Jed goes from here.
Issue 8
This one reminded me a lot of some of the really early issues of MacKay's run where Marc would meet a weird supernatural threat (A house that eats people, a guy whose sweat possesses people) and has to come up with an inventive solution to the problem on the fly. It's Moon Knight at his very best and we're lucky to have MacKay still delivering like this half a decade later.
Issue 9
“Why does it always have to be you that takes the hit Marc?”
“Because that’s what I’m for.”
It's a rare pleasure to read a writer who understands a long running legacy character quite so well as MacKay understands Moon Knight. It's an even rarer pleasure to have that writer give us more than a fifth of that character's stories.
Issue 10
I think this might be the best anniversary issue I've ever read. For the most part this issue is just the big epic brawl that Moony and he gang have been gearing up for for most of this run, with the bad guys bringing out yet even more obscure old Moon Knight villains as henchmen than Zodiac did 20 issues before. The fights are fun with the art being on absolute top form (as it has been for the last few issues actually) and Pramanik and Rosenberg deserve more than a few roses for their work here.
I think what brought this book above just a good fight scene however is seeing the Midnight Mission all working together. They're an odd group that Marc has slowly brought together over the last fifty issues; but they really feel like both a team and like a family here and I think that element of the story at least felt like it culminated here. It was great seeing 8-Ball kick some arse too.

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!

I love how Moon Knight comics never fail to surprise me. This volume is a near perfect mix of character and action moments, featuring a return of third rate Moon Knight baddies from his rogues gallery. Having only started reading the comics with Warren Ellis' runs, I wasn't familiar with any of them, but all of them get pretty cool or funny moments to shine.
The real star in this issue however, was the focus on Marc's addiction to pain/guilt, both emotional and physical. It's something that has always loomed large over the character, since Moon Knight is a much darker, more brutal superhero than most in the Marvel universe. This volume unexpectedly features the beginning (or a continuation, depending on how you interpret previous runs) of an exploration of this theme and it hit me in the feels.
I also just wanna say how insane it is, that I have grown to love 8-Ball through these Moon Knight comics. The guy is a somewhat incompetent villain turned good guy with billiard ball costume, who fights with billiard equipment. And I love that idiot!

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.

January 29, 2026Like 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.

August 21, 2025The 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.

Jed MacKay has really grounded Moon Knight as a great character once again and achieved something most comic writers fail at, which is creating a new team that is extremely compelling with a great cast of characters. The Midnight Mission is so well crafted since the start of MacKay's run and here in The Fist of Konshu we really start to see this team in its full glory.
This run is 1000% Marvel's best ongoing run right now and I truly hope the Midnight Mission becomes a stay as a team for Marvel in the future.

Moon knight continues to be my favorite comic book series. Continues to have lots of twists and turns to it. Khonshu is always great to see. The dragon was a cool and interesting plot point. The art is great. Just an all around good story. The only thing I didn't like is how abrupt and a bit confusing the ending was. Not sure where it was going so I guess Ill have to get the next one. Oh nooooo...

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!

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.
November 19, 2025
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

Phenomenal wrap-up to the storyline with Fairchild. This comic had so many memorable moments like 8-Ball and the Pool Party, and Moon Knight using his own claimed soul as bait to lure Khonshu into fighting a dragon-spirit sword that he later claims as his own. It’s all so cool.

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

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

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

MacKay continues to deliver. It's dark, it's funny, it continues to go to wild places. They're a chaotic bunch of heroes, but they're our heroes.
