Moon Knight (#188-191) by Max Bemis

Moon Knight (#188-191) by Max Bemis, Jacen Burrows (Illustrator)
Synopsis (via Goodreads): A new day is dawning and with it comes an enemy unlike any that Marc Spector, Moon Knight, has ever faced. Moon Knight has always been a protector from the shadows, but this new enemy is looking to extinguish that shadow with blinding light and fire. Get ready for the introduction of Moon Knight's greatest nemesis!

"And I thought it couldn't be possible for me to want to hurt people more."

I know, I know...  I said I wasn't going to read Moon Knight any more because of how dark it is, but peer spouse pressure can be so annoying. Jacob gets so excited when he reads this comic, and he really wanted me to catch up. It was just two more issues, so I didn't see the harm.

They weren't as graphic as the two before it, but they were intense. Max Bemis is the devil. I hate, hate, hate cliffhangers and these were ridiculous. You cannot casually make that your last page of a comic and then disappear for a month.

...and now I read Moon Knight. I'll admit the Egyptian mythology drew me in from the start, and Marc Spector (Moon Knight) is an interesting (very, very complicated) character. He has multiple personality disorder, which means he alone is like four separate people, and they all serve a purpose in his mind. It's twisted and weird, but now I'm hooked. I need to know what the hell is happening at the end of the last issue! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
