Review/plot:
I actually first read the cover as "The nightmare of Morbius" at first. Morbius is supposed to be cured right now, but i was a little disappointed when i saw my mistake. I made similar mistakes with issue #3 (Thinking Moon Knight would be fighting Midnight) and issue #8 (Thinking Moon Knight would be facing Werewolf By Night). I think it's a bit of wishful thinking. These Moon Knight stories are very bland and could use some high-profile guest appearances to kick things up a bit.

This guy Morpheus has some weird disease that prevents him from sleeping but gives him a monster appearance and the ability to affect people's mental state.

You can definitely see Sienkiewicz getting closer to his "New Mutants" style.

Something I don't love about Moon Knight: whenever he appears in public, people always know who he is. It seems to me it would be much cooler if a hero like him was totally obscure to the general populace. Let the Avengers and the FF be instantly recognizable. Moon Knight should be a bit of a mystery.
