Marvel Fanfare #30Issue(s): Marvel Fanfare #30 Review/plot: Imagery like Moon Knight going crazy because of a syzygy quadrature that is super-powering the moon. ![]() Imagery like a movie director herding a bunch of deer into a dead end then having them shot so he gets the realism... ![]() ...and then complaining that the shots didn't look real enough. Like the director using the homophone pun "Real to reel", which he has to spell out, because it's a homophone pun, and then making it the title of your story. ![]() Like raining blood. ![]() Like this crazy story about Moon Knight's rotten childhood friend that would "walk" flies and spiders, and who mysteriously drowned. ![]() Like we're in an Edgar Allan Poe tale, because why not just come right out and say what we're going for. ![]() Like an Earth elemental forming to punish the director for killing the deer. ![]() Like Moon Knight stopping the elemental by dancing with her. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moon Knight for some reason inspires this kind of a story, and Ann Nocenti doesn't need much encouragement. I'll take my Moon Knight in Marvel Team-Up, where he just punches bad guys because he's a super-hero, and no one shouts about how they hate the moon. ![]() Brent Anderson is a good artist, but i've seen better from him on regular issues of Ka-Zar the Savage. The best thing about this Fanfare issue, as is often the case, is the Editori-Al cartoon. Actually, we start with an Editori-Anderson that has some things to say about Marvel's new office. ![]() And then at the end, Al Milgrom's rebuttal. ![]() Quality Rating: C Chronological Placement Considerations: The MCP place this between issue #2-3 of Moon Knight's Fist of Konshu series. I don't have those issues, so i'm trusting their judgement. References: N/A Crossover: N/A Continuity Insert? N My Reprint: N/A
Comments"How does one hide from the moon?" Stay indoors at night and draw the curtains, Marc. It's hardly rocket science. Posted by: James M | February 26, 2014 3:09 PM To be fair, I think what Marc meant was, "How can I protect myself from that moon's effects? I have super-strength on the night of a full moon even when I'm indoors and inside a room with no windows." Posted by: Michael | February 26, 2014 7:57 PM Sounds like I'm in the minority here but I like this story and would give it a B if not just for the fact that it manages to have topics like the duality of man and nature and not solving the plot with fisticuffs.
