May 9, 2012 4:37 pm To each his own Zhurrie, your opinion is as valid is mine. No, I had no familiarity with the series, author. The funny thing is I guess the author was in my LCS (Shout out to Friendly Neighborhood Comics, Bellingham MA!) the weekend before #1 came out. I really liked the art, her creepy eyes, and the very cool 4-headed angel and thought the storytelling aspect of the art was strong (I was never confused) I think this 5 Part story is meant to stand-alone, but if successful, there'd be other related minis?

May 8, 2012 12:31 pm Yup. Issue #1 was fantastic. One of the best books I've read in a while. Really came out of nowhere for me, I liked the cover, picked it up, and was amazed by this very Vertigo-feeling book that reminded me of the best of Sandman, Hellblazer, or Swamp Thing.

May 7, 2012 3:16 pm This series is better than this issue, AquaPimp. The opening arc was very good. I can't wait till he gets back to Africa after this Owls interlude.

May 5, 2012 9:47 pm Akamuu, spot on review.

May 5, 2012 9:45 pm I agree Keith. The author's comments at the end were revealing. He seems to really like certain movies and then wants to re-hash them in his own work. The guy's clearly talented, I'm always impressed by writer/artists, but to see the Elektra, the Bride, and other images, mentions of the Fugitive, etc., I dunno, nothing new here for me, I'm out. But I expect this creator will mature and I think could really be a force in the industry if he sticks with it.

April 30, 2012 7:59 pm Am so psyched, it feels like forever since Vol III. what a great great book.

April 27, 2012 10:35 am I hadn't heard a new writer was taking over. Is Finch leaving the book?

April 26, 2012 10:32 am Not thrilled with the finale. - Sorry, but I wanted MK to personally take down Nefaria. I don't know how, but having his big brothers and sisters do it sucked. Isn't this Superhero Arc 101, that the impossible to beat baddie is finally defeated by the steadfast superhero? - Hated that MK kissed off LA in the end. LA is perfect for him and he seemed to enjoy the LA crazy as a perfect match for his crazy. Both points I feel like Bendis decided to service his Avengers and Ultron arc aims. But for me it just could have closed a little better for Moon Knight.

April 26, 2012 10:24 am Solid ending to the book...but I want to complain a little. As Phantom Reporter said, "then I wouldn't be the guy you fell in love with...". Hey PR, I feel the same way about you. So now PR is a full-fledged fire-wielding superhero vigilante? Isn't his writing and journalism the core of who he is? A city beat type reporter who loves and respects the people of the city and seeks to shed light on shady practices and root out corruption? The transformation rang hollow for me. He's smarter than this. On the other hand, thought the Laughing Mask / Electro bit was perfect. Also enjoyed hearing the origin of smart dude. Bye 12, I'll miss ya!
