Review/plot:
This issue has a nice painted cover.

Moon Knight takes his whole supporting cast down to New Orleans for a working vacation. A friend on the local police force is having some voodoo trouble, and Moon Knight and company sort it out for him.

Moon Knight states that any super-powers he may have received when he was bitten by Werewolf By Night have faded away. I didn't realize that was a possibility, but it's apparently moot at this point. He's just an ordinary man now.

Marlene challenges Moon Knight's multiple personalities a bit, but it doesn't really go anywhere, and it's pretty clear that he is in control and can switch personalities at will, so it really doesn't seem like a borderline mental illness.

It's ok. We're all really here for the Sienkiewicz/Janson art.

Quality Rating: C+

Historical Significance Rating: 2 - Moon Knight loses any super powers he might have had from having been bitten by Werewolf By Knight
