Moon Knight #12 Review

Writer: Brian Wood / Artist: Greg Smallwood / Marvel Marc Spector is the man on the fucking run. Dude just escaped a high level super max prison on a plane. On a plane folks. He’s falling to the fucking Earth with no parachute but he so Gully the Egyptian god Khonshu decides to keep fucking with the boy and pulls him out by the skin of his damn teeth. We see how Marc survives the fall as a reader but he himself (pretty much passed out) isn’t sure how Khonshu is helping him survive the fall but the details don’t matter t him much either. There’s physics to this level of excellence Brian Wood has been giving us in this second arc of Moon Knight. We are so used to him being a street level hero with some great new technology and artifacts from Egyptian culture that help him fight whatever he comes across on a street level. Be it mercenaries or even ghost super natural as we have seen, Spector has the means to take down all foes. However, Marc is still the avatar to an Egyptian god. We haven’t seen Khonshu do much aside from counseling Marc but this is the first time in this series’ incarnation we see such a huge gesture of help from Khonshu. He’s sill with the doctor but as we have come to find out, she can’t deal with the lime light and the facts of her past aren’t as she was laying them out to be.

Khonshu was all about the retribution offered by the doctor that he didn’t realize he was being lead astray till later. The doctor was a victim but not in the sense as she presented….
