Aug 02, 2023Moon Knight #26 is a gripping look at Hunters Moons handling of his incomplete resurrection. MacKay uses that as an opportunity to take the established tropes of his run and transpose them to a new character as a cipher into the character of Badr. Sabbatinis art builds on the divergence of perspective to showcase action that brings the holy avatar into the dirt of the earth. Compounded by a new stream of colors, basking in the sickly yellows of the underground and the exalted golds of Hunters Moon costume. The art and coloring use these to unearth the emotion buried underneath logic and belief and establish a strong path forward for the rest of MacKays run. Read Full Review

Aug 02, 2023Moon Knight #26 delivers a fantastic hook but also a deep dive into one of the best Moon Knight additions in ages, and the series looks to only get better from here. Read Full Review

Aug 02, 2023Sabbatini delivers fantastic action throughout the issue. I love the visual contrast between the Hunters Moon battle scenes and the therapy session. Both are visually compelling. Read Full Review

Aug 02, 2023Moon Knight #26 takes a break from the Black Spectre arc, deflating the arc's momentum in the process, to catch up with Hunter's Moon and his struggles since his last resurrection. Hunter's Moon's update is interesting, and the art is solid, but this update didn't need a whole issue. Read Full Review

This is far better than a one-off "breather" issue has any right to be. It helps that there are great depths to explore in Hunter's Moon, and this digs deep and strong.
The structure is elegant, the pace is smooth, and there are some epically good lines in the dialogue. Even on the art front, where I'm usually underwhelmed by this title's low-detail style, I can't find a fault. Movements and expressions come through with perfect clarity, and the settings maintain a dark, dangerous mood.
This is simply a great comic, both by itself and as part of an ongoing story.

Something this run has done incredibly well is make the reader invested in the supporting cast along with our usual main character, Marc. Following the huge issue 25, the entirety of this issue is dedicated to delving more into Badr, who has quickly become a very intriguing character throughout this series. While I did find his story underground entertaining and interesting, I my favorite parts of this were when he was talking with Dr. Sterman. Based on the solicitations for the next two issues, it looks like we'll be getting a lot more of Badr and Marc together. After reading this, I'm very interested to see how that turns out. This series continues to be fantastic and I will really miss it if the upcoming "Knight's End" storyline is, in f more

It was a good look into the mind of Hunters Moon but that's about it. Interesting enough, but not much progression after a hit issue 25.

After an incredible issue #25, MacKay takes a downturn to the action and focuses on Hunter’s Moon. The dialogue between Andrea and Badr is interesting but the issue as a whole feels like a sudden shift to the action packed issues I’ve been used to. It’s Mackay’s fault for spoiling me. Overall my score is based on this issue alone and not the series as my enthusiasm hasn’t diminished whatsoever.
