This was an expertly crafted story. It is something that can only be done with comicbooks and with a level of intelligence one comes to expect from Warren Ellis.
The way this comicbook flowed, it was unlike any superhero comicbook I've read. I'm going back for more, because as this second issue has shown me, this title is going to be anything but boring.

Ya çizgi romanlar iyi hoşta, kafasını mangalarla bozmuş biri olarak soldan sağa okuma işine henüz alışamadım. Bazen kendimi öyle kaptırıyorum ki sağdan başlıyorum okumaya ama cümlelerin pekte anlamlı olmadığını idrak ettiğimde, hoppp dön başa. :(

The first half of this comic has an imaginative usage of graphical storytelling reminiscent of Thriller.

Whelp, this was a short issue. Same amount of pages, but the intro to the story was half the book. Not that I am saying the book was bad. The book was pretty good. I'm not sure I disagree with the sniper though. If those people used him and left him for dead, I can't say I'd be against his revenge.
This was a tightly written and well executed issue, but I don't have much more to say on it. It doesn't really connect with any kind of higher arc that I can see yet. These first two issues were a great introduction to the character and setting ... I can't wait for the next issue.

Harsh.
Nine target by someone who was left in the field when a company dissolved
.
Mr knight found him and wants to know his story.
The surprise visit from the man who is the last target. And he is no good either.

Ok so the art got a bit better in this issue, and I suppose the storyline was better because there was a lot of action and hardly any dialogue, maybe? Going to try at least one more issue to see if this can pick up a bit.

Moon Knight goes after a sniper who was left behind, as the sniper comes after those in charge. After all, the people who hired and discarded him, leaving him to die, all left for financial sector, and got rich, having seemingly forgotten about their sniper.
This nicely parallels a lot of Moon Knight's origins, although of course, the man he's after didn't actually die and then come back, or become the fist of Khonshu...
Still, I wasn't sure at first if the story was about Spector or not, or if Spector would feel a kinship with the sniper, so it kept me on my toes.

-Tá legal, já chega.
-Ainda não. Por quê eu não consigo te acertar...
-Eu não sou real.
Este exemplar quase não tem diálogos, mas os poucos que têm valem muito à pena!

small-scale but high art in its approach. love love intimate stories like this- capturing a moment rather than telling a sprawling epic storyline.
