Book of the Week: Moon Knight #6

The consistency of Moon Knight is incredible. Warren Ellis makes this series Book of the Week each single week. That's exceptional. But is it the end of Moon Knight's greatness? Issue 6 wraps up Ellis' and Shalvey's run on Marc Spector and was it good. I hope Brain Wood will keep up this style and our masked crusader will still have one of the best current ongoing series.

Issue 6 is probably my favourite one now. This stand-alone story is about a simple police man, Trent. His jealousy and a lack of self-satisfaction trigger upcoming events, in which he wants to take Moon Knight's place as a city protector. For now it could sound as a noble move, but he is to do it by killing Marc.

He makes numerous researches, gathers all available data about masked detective and finally, dressed as Black Spectre, Trent, having lost control of himself, begins an evil plan by detonating an IED as Spector passes near it. But come on, a super hero won't die because of a stupid explosive, will he?

An amazingly fluent storytelling with gorgeous artwork has made Moon Knight a top Marvel's series. It was darn good, highly recommended. Pick up a trade, which soon will be available and ask for issue 7 at your Local Comic Shop!

Invincible #113

Invincible has finally been beaten and is not a Book of the Week. Don't get be wrong here, it's still very good, we get loads of action-packed panels, great dialogues and, finally, Viltrumites. After a solid 100+ issue run, Robert Kirkman seems not to run out of ideas. All the time we see new threats, villains and dangers, that affect Mark Grayson's life.

After intesnse previous issues, Robert lets off steam a bit, we can rest from constant fights and bloody deaths. It was necessary, sooner or later it had to happen, but probably it's done in such a moment to incresase the wows after next issue(s)' events.

In no. 113 Robot tries to work out his biggest problem, which is Viltrumites, by proposing them an alliance. Basically, that's the whole issue, but we see more, for example Mark's talk with Eve and some combats between Robot and his former friends.

Overall, Invincible #113 is a great addition to this acclaimed run, but used to Kirkman's dynamic style, I was a little bit dissapointed. But I still can't wait for the next issue.
