Borrowing relics. \ Stealing the hearts of the lost. \ Finding destiny.
#HAIKUPRAJNA - Review: Black Cat (2020)
...


"I've always wanted to fly one of these things!"


Jed MacKay’s Black Cat run has been great so far, and the 2020 series was little exception. (Side note on MacKay, he has credits for TV Ontario programs such as Polka Dot Door and Elliot Moose! What a nostalgic childhood connection.)

The volumes contain tie ins and set-ups for Infinity Stone and Venom events, but that was the reason I stumbled into this run, though, and these stories had made me check out the rest of the writer's work. (Check out my King in Black review! https://medium.com/haikuprajna/haikuprajna-review-king-in-black-ff55857758ec

The series managed to retain Felicia's overall character arc and even revisited past traumas related to the events. Highlights included Felicia rehabilitating the wayward while staying true to her character, good use of the Spider-mobile, Doctor Strange and the ghost dog that Spider-Man met, and forms of Agent Anti-venom and Asgardian goddesses. The main issues of this volume continue the mystic mayhem with a deal involving the property of Manhattan before closing into another event, but these stories were enough to interest me in plots I otherwise was uninterested in.


Thank you for reading.

Until next time,

Allen W. McLean

20220406 - Review: Moon Knight (2014)

...
The crescent protects \ travelers under the night. \ A faithful mission.
#HAIKUPRAJNA - Review: Moon Knight (2014)

...

“That’s the part I like.”

This six issue Moon Knight run from Warren Ellis focused on jam packed action and stingers that sum up some of Marc's most stylish nights. 

Great examples of visual storytelling, such as the psychedelic dreamscapes of mushroom brainspores, climbing ladders through a page; among other great uses of paneling, the issues feature well placed dialogue where the story tied up the action and explained Marc's missions by the end. 

“People who love me suffer and die. I never want to be loved. That’s why I always win.” 

Marc's fear tactics, threats and actual bodily harm add to his literal “You can’t kill me” attitude. The plot bounced around between fresh settings that manage to tell a tale of personal faith, featuring a vengeful Doctor hiring people to turn Moon Knight by appealing to his multiple personalities, Khonshu turning on Marc, putting to rest a punk gang distrubed by leader’s suicide and ghost fighting relics.

Another example of a writer setting up cool things that are explored through the rest of the series by other creative teams, and I recommend their tpb volumes as well, which continue the plot threads and styled action. As one of my favorite comic characters, I recommend anything Moon Knight.


These Goodreads poems will be collected in a future edition of the HaikuPrajna Collection. More can be found on Medium and Goodreads.
