As a Fist of Khonshu, Marc Spector serves as an apostle and priest for the Egyptian deity of the moon, protecting everyone who travels perilous roads under the night sky. And, in his service to Khonshu, Moon Knight has died countless times and resurrected back to health, which chips away at his mind and soul each time. Recently, Marc gave his life to save the city of Manhattan from the nefarious plans of Black Spectre, revealed to be Robert Plesko, who was not only a confidant but also a member of his Shadow Cabinet. But with the Moon God imprisoned on Asgard, someone needs to step up and take care of the Midnight Mission since Marc is gone for good. Or is he?Written by Jed MacKay with illustrations from Alessandro Capuccio, colors from Rachelle Rosenberg, and letters from VC’s Cory Petit, Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1 from Marvel Comics shows the aftermath of Marc’s apparent death as his friends try to cope with the loss. The book opens ominously in the past, showing a beat-up 8-Ball lying on the floor to the shock of Reese, Tigra, Soldier, and Hunter’s Moon before shifting to the now, where Reese sits in a session with Dr. Andrea Sterman. As the two talk, the story goes back to the days leading up to the present as heroes show their respect and help the Midnight Mission keep their community safe in memory of Moon Knight.Making superheroes stand out as larger-than-life figures is easy, but making them look menacing is an art that illustrator Alessandro Capuccio seems to have mastered. While a simple low-angle shot would suffice for such a pose, Capuccio goes the extra mile and douses the panels in heavy inking that creates a sharp vignette effect and an aura around the character that colorist Rachelle Rosenberg fills in with a bright ray of light. But warm tones are not the only ones she uses, for in scenes where emotions flare up, Rosenberg uses menacing greens to mirror the overpouring darkness in someone like Tigra. Interestingly, the inking helps the lighting effect in the book as the scratch marks of the hatching lines moving in the same direction as the alignment of the characters in the panels take the reader’s eyes to the center of attraction. Although the backgrounds lack details, the inking has to do much of the work. The combined artistic force of Capuccio and Rosenberg is something that has been working in favor of MacKay’s frenetic storytelling style, which is plain to see in this book as well. Letterer Cory Petit rolls Reese’s dialogues into the next pages as narration. MacKay has a habit of continuing his script as overlays for dramatic effect, and Petit helps him in his cause with well-spaced bubbles.
