The Wheel of Time – Leavetaking
- Title: The Wheel of Time – Leavetaking
- wiki: link
Adapted from the fantasy series of the same name by Robert Jordan, the first episode of The Wheel of Time introduces us to several characters including Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) and Lan Mandragoran (Daniel Henney) who are seeking the prophesied reincarnation of one capable of saving or destroying the world. Their search takes them to a village in the mountains, but they aren’t the only ones seeking to find the reborn Dragon who has just come of age and may soon come into power. Mostly set-up to a world that isn’t all that well described (perhaps believing only fans of Jordan’s books will seek out the series), “Leavetaking” is notable for the extended battle sequence near the end of the episode as Two Rivers is invaded by a legion of monsters.

Moon Knight #10
- Title: Moon Knight #10

- Writer: Jed MacKay
- Artist: Alessandro Cappuccio
Moon Knight #10 offers a battle between Moon Knight and Rutherford Winner intercut with scenes of Moon Knight talking over the situation with the pair’s shared psychiatrist Andrea Sterman. At least that’s what appears to be happening. However, things aren’t exactly what they seem.
Pushing Marc Spector down a darker path, we see the Fist of Khonshu in a vengeful mode towards Zodiac and the villain’s latest minion he’s used to screw with our hero. The villain wanted an untethered Moon Knight. Be careful what you wish for.
While the half-black/half-white costume isn’t my favorite (I prefer Moon Knight in all white, be it hero or suit) the art of Alessandro Cappuccio does hide parts of the costume in shadow while highlighting the glow of the white as well.

Moon Knight – The Friendly Type
- Title: Moon Knight – The Friendly Type

Although it doesn’t stay with the idea for more than a few minutes, the third episode has some fun reversing the framing of the episodes from what has come before. Now we see Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) jumping into reality not understanding what events have occurred in his absence as Steven, or someone else, has taken control. This provides some of the most fun of an episode that otherwise seems to get a little lost on the way of continuing to advance the plot. Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) continues to dig in the desert to find Ammit. Rather than find and stop him our hero and his god decide to confront the other Egyptian gods without proof (other than, you know, the villain digging in the desert in the exact spot doing exactly what he’s accused of).
