Moon Knight’s past and present collides in Moon Knight #25 and the Scarlet Scarab debuts in Moon Knight City of the Dead!

Posted on by

This July, two moons rise! Writer Jed MacKay is bringing fans an oversized anniversary issue of Moon Knight #25. The monumental issue features art from an all-star line-up including Alessandro Cappuccio, Alessandro Vitti, and Partha Pratim.

In the upcoming issue, Moon Knight’s past and present collide! The past comes back to bedevil Moon Knight as he pursues his latest enemy, someone once familiar and new. From grim New York nights to the blazing sun of Alexandria days, Moon Knight hunts for answers among the graves of Hart Island while haunted by the last mission of the Karnak Cowboys, a mercenary crew counting among its members Marc Spector, Jean-Paul Duchamp, Robert Plesko… and the official comic book debut of Layla El-Faouly! The issue also includes a classic Moon Knight story from the past by legendary comic writer Doug Moench and Eisner-winning, Emmy-nominated artist Bill Sienkiewicz.

Then, following the events of Moon Knight #25, Marc Spector is taken on his most harrowing adventure yet! Written by David Pepose with art by Marcelo Ferreira, Moon Knight: City of the Dead features Layla El-Faouly’s super hero debut as the all-new Scarlet Scarab! When a young runaway is attacked by a gang of death cultists, he is left barely alive outside the Midnight Mission. But Marc Spector made a vow long ago to defend the travelers of the night…and as long as a spark of life remains, his mission isn’t over yet. Follow Moon Knight as the Fist of Khonshu journeys far beyond the land of the living – and battles across the mind-bending underworld known as the City of the Dead!

Check out the covers now and look out for Moon Knight #25 and Moon Knight: City of the Dead this July!

Immoral X-Men #3 teases great concepts

Posted on by
Immoral X-Men #3

It’s been 1,000 years since Sinister’s experiment began. 1,000 years that have led to destruction, death, war, a plan completely spiraled out of control. Sinister is now attempting to right his wrong, searching for the one weapon that can correct everything. Immoral X-Men #3 adds another glimpse the the mad world Sinister has wrought and adds more wrinkles to the end game for this event.

Kieron Gillen continues the interesting thread of Sinister’s journey as he and Rasputin IV travel through space in hopes of finding clues to take them to the weapon to correct the madness. It’s an interesting journey that feels much more like a travelogue than anything else. There’s some action and very interesting moments but much like the event as a whole, it’s a sliver of a narrative.

That “sliver” is partially what has made Sins of Sinister so interesting and so frustrating at the same time. Each issue takes place at a different point in this event. The first issues are 10 years, second 100, and third are 1,000. And thus, they’re just a moment of time. Each issue hints and teases the story at this point forcing readers to piece together what has happened. It also leaves a lot wanted. Everything presented could be a story unto themselves with a full miniseries dedicated to what’s shown. But, we’re given just a glimpse of where things are at, pieces of a puzzle where we can infer the picture but never get to see all of it. That’s both original and frustrating because what’s presented is so interesting. I want to know how we got to each of these points.

The art by Alessandro Vitti is interesting and feels like it’s both grounded in a way and also a world gone mad. With color by Rain Beredo, lettering by Clayton Cowles, and design by Jay Bowen, the art adds so much to the story. We need to infer and figuring out where things stand from the visuals as much as by what’s said. The two need to work hand in hand to really deliver all the information we need. Here, we get a lot of that with teases and hints as to where the mutant legion have taken the world. The visuals drive home the corruption, like rot that has spiraled out of control.

Immoral X-Men #3 is good. It also leaves me wanting a lot more. How the three issues remaining for the event will be able to tie things up and get things somewhat back to the way they were should be impressive. Hopefully, it’s a bit more of a straight narrative than the event so far. Overall, it’s something original, but it’s originality that leaves things in a frustrating place as well.

THE EXPERIMENT ENDS? Year 1 was the start of the experiment. By Year 10, it was filling a petri dish. By Year 100, it had cracked the glass and spread across the desk. Now it’s been 1000 years, and the lab is filled by the writhing, pulsing sins of sinister and all the lab staff have been devoured. Everyone is in hell. The upside: this includes Sinister.

Everyone is in hell. The upside: this includes Sinister.

Mutantkind makes its last stand in Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants #3! One thousand years in the future, the Empire of the Red Diamond has located Fortress Arakko – the burning Last Castle at the heart of the Storm System! The only hope for the universe lies in bringing a long-lost legend back to life… Ororo of the Storm returns to the Sinister Age for the final battle!

Mother knows best in Nightcrawlers #3!

And finally, see the insane outcome of seven trillion deadly sins in Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1! A thousand years of hell and damnation comes to end with the loudest scream in history and for the truly guilty, there is no escape. Can the future change the present, or will we just make all the same mistakes again? Either way, the present will have to live with the future’s sins.

Check out the final covers now and be there on January 25 when mutantkind is forced to pay the heavy price for Mister Sinister’s crimes!
