There are basically two kinds of heroes at Marvel: the big guns and the "street level" heroes.
The big guns are just as much at home on a cosmic mission as they are fighting the Wrecker in Times Square. Examples: Thor, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man and the X-Men.
Street level heroes work best in an Earth-bound setting - Times Square is fine, but outer space doesn't really work (with exceptions). Examples: Daredevil, Spider-Man, Jessica Jones and Moon Knight.
So this issue throws that out the window by making Moon Knight a surprisingly powerful and unstoppable force, taking on the biggest names in the Avengers and, well, not getting his head thumped in at every turn.
Don't get me wrong, I like Moon Knight - but that guy who sorta dresses like him in this issue isn't that character at all. He's some new creation that's intended to drum up interest in the character (I suppose).
It's not working for me.
