Moon Knight: City of the Dead (2023) #1-5
- Cross-pollination – New characters starting in TV or movies and then making the jump to comics is still unusual, but is happening more.
- This feels very much like something Doug Moench might have written. Reminds me a bit of Vol 3’s “The Resurrection War.” See our PotMK episode entitled “It Turns Out He Was Only Mostly Dead” for more on that.
- A lot of character narration over the action. Characters introduced themselves every issue.
- Do all faiths end up in the Duat in the Marvel universe? This I do not understand.
- It also seems weird that there are cars and modern cities.
- This is a bit of a “greatest hits” album, bringing back almost all of MKs old foes – or at least the truly villainous ones. No Scarlett, for instance. Legion of the Unliving is quite the name.
- It’s always Randall when you least expect it!
- We have a Khonshu sighting
- Also is a bit weird, in that it finishes with Layla saying “Be Seeing you, Marc.” Will she?? On Earth? Or back in the Duat?
- I think Lyla is back on earth. Resurrected for her help defeating Jackal Knight Randall
- What’s up with him just completely forgetting about the fact he has a girlfriend? Greer deserves better than this guy.
