Moon Knight 15

To Cullen Bunn’s credit, this was a pretty solid issue, laying the groundwork for a forthcoming confrontation between Moon Knight and his patron, Khonshu, the god of vengeance — who, as always, may or may not be a complete fabrication of Moon Knight’s mental illness.  I was a little concerned when this issue opened with Moon Knight whining like a big ol’ crybaby after he’d had his first encounter with some kinda Bogeyman.  However, following a confrontation with Khonshu in which he is told in no uncertain terms that this is not his fight, we get page after page after page of Moon Knight in business-formal wear (swoon!) riddling the Bogeyman with automatic gunfire in front of a traumatized little girl in her bedroom… which is the kind of stuff I enjoy!  And then oh, okay, the little twist ending ties neatly to the opening – that’s fair, that’s pretty well-crafted.  An enjoyable enough story, but I think the crazy action was what succeeded in capturing my attention.
