Finished reading Moon Knight: In The Night, writer Cullen Bunn concludes the Marvel series as Moon Knight try's to deal with multiple supernatural threats that seem to have a link to Khonshu, the Egyptian god that resurrected Marc Spector several years prior. The book opens up with Moon Knight seeing a load of ghosts inside an abandoned hotel who are slowly fading away due to a group of criminals using them as a power source. The next story has Moon Knight dealing with feral dogs attacking the wealthy members of society. The following story has Marc Spector defying Khonshu to fight what is essentially the bogeyman who is terrorising the city. The final two stories has Moon Knight coming face to face with a military group and a woman who is worshiping Khonshu as both stories see both antagonists planning on sacrificing people for Khonshu. Overall this was a great book as writer Cullen Bunn brings an end to the series by showing how Khonshu affects the work while also playing on his relationship with Marc Spector which leads to a very satisfying end to the series. The episodic structure to the series is back and works exceptionally well as it allows for some intriguing plot lines and moments within the story while also using subtle references to things from earlier in the series that should reward people who have read the whole series. The artwork throughout captures Moon Knights fighting style and the horrific imagery of the monsters within the book incredibly well while also giving the city streets and the interiors of the buildings their own unique characteristics. 8/10.
