Moon Knight #7

/ / Comics

moon-knight-cover-7The series’ first arc comes to a close with Moon Knight setting a trap and exposing Count Nefaria as the Kingpin of Los Angeles. Although the issue is extremely light on the one relationship that has made the previous issues so good (Echo barely makes an appearance here) we get plenty of Moon Knight dealing with his multiple personalities before putting his insane plan into action.

Despite having questions about his sanity, and having already turned him into the Avengers, Buck agrees to help Moon Knight sell a fake Ultron head to lure our the Los Angeles kingpin. Their plan, thanks to decomissioned S.H.I.E.L.D. toxin to slow down mutants, is somewhat successful.

Moon Knight is able to capture Snapdragon, but the victory is somewhat hollow with the knowledge that Count Nefaria has escaped and Moon Knight just may have missed his one opportunity to take down a villain far outside his power level.

A good end to the series first story arc. It will be interesting to see where things go from here. Worth a look.

[Marvel, $3.99]

Daredevil #5

/ / Comics

daredevil-5-coverAfter the attempt on Austin Cao’s life, Matt Murdock has no choice but to accept the blind linguistic genius case. By recreating the scene of event Murdock tries to jog his client’s memory to find what he heard that got him fired from Roxxon Oil. What he uncovers is a link to H.Y.D.R.A. and a far more dangerous situation than he would have ever guessed.

The entire sequence of Murdock taking down the assassins and moving Cao to a safehouse is terrific and is exceptionally well thought out with one blind character leading another through a series of necessary steps and providing just the right information, no more, no less.

The B-story involves Foggy‘s attempt to convince his new girlfriend’s roommate that Matt Murdock isn’t Daredevil. His argument is less than successful until he comes up with either the smartest or dumbest idea the character has ever had. Worth a look.
