#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Vengeance of the Moon Knight#Vengeance of the Moon Knight vol. 2#Vengeance of the Moon Knight 2024#Moon Knight comics#latest release#Hunter’s Moon#Yehya Badr#!!!! I am so indebted to Mr. MacKay for making the framing device of his comics just straight up therapy sessions#it’s such a great way to easily have characters get to the root of what they’re really thinking/feeling#and I love having that opportunity with a typically very reserved character as Dr. Badr#and it offers such great food for thought#since Marc’s character is unfortunately my specialty I am fascinated by the comparisons that can be drawn here#or rather the contrasts#since so much of Marc’s life (for better or worse) involved pushing back against every sort of authority possible#(his father/religion/the Marine Corps/Khonshu)#or at least that was a prominent characteristic of his in earlier MK comics#meanwhile Dr. Badr is all-in and I find the depth of that loyalty fascinating#that it can be as equally healthy or destructive as consistently questioning authority can be#and his utter acceptance (and willingness even) that nothing but madness and eventual death awaits him#what can I say I’m greatly intrigued by characters with convictions strong enough to die for#(and there’s that last panel which on re-reading is rather cheeky foreshadowing for such fantastic imagery oh my gosh)
