Moon Knight #5 Review

Just watching Moon Knight move through the building with such confidence in himself and his ability is in a word graceful. It’s one thing to just have our hero fighting and winning but it’s another to show the detail in how they fight which we do not get enough of in most comics.

I felt like I was playing Streets of Rage or Final fight as I watched Moon Knight fuck up the chakras in everyone’s body. This issue solidified why Moon Knight is a badass in his own right and not Marvel’s knock off batman. Bruce Wayne ain’t ever put…
