Vengeance of the Moon Knight #3
I've always liked Moon Knight. Yeah, there's no doubt he's Marvel's low-rent version of Batman, as many claim Sentry is their shot at Superman. The case has never been so more apparent with Moon Knight no longer killing victims, just hanging them upside down in typical Dark Knight (ohh) fashion for the coppers to take care of.
I like what Gregg Hurwitz is chasing. He's trying to make Jake Lockley/Marc Spector relevent by placing the multiple-personality caper right in the middle of Dark Marvel's Dark Reign (without becoming a DR book), as even a wide-eyed Spidey notices upon his arrival in Midtown. The writer is doing his best to keep MK's story in tuned with the 616's current happenings, by having his ultimate archenemy from his origin rise. That seems to be the theme of both DC and Marvel these days, luckily The Hood and the Profile help make things more interesting with their involvement.
VOFMK #3 has Jerome Opena and that's all you need to know about the art. It matches the grittiness and recovery of the character, and his intentions will become more clear as the arc moves on. It's not going to outsell X-Men. But I don't care. Moon Knight is a must.
