The Spectre Of Death Hangs Over ‘Moon Knight’ This Fall
by Tony Thornley
Marc Spector has become one of Marvel Comics’ most popular heroes as Moon Knight, thanks to an excellent ongoing series and a popular Disney Plus series. This fall, the Death of Moon Knight changes his life forever.
Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio have redefined Moon Knight over the past two years, changing his mission, adding to his supporting cast, and giving him a purpose. But this fall, the Death of Moon Knight will change his life forever, ending Marc’s journey. The three part storyline serves as the end of the current stage of his story and the beginning of the next chapter.
Earlier this week, Marvel debuted the cover for Moon Knight #29 which features artwork by the series’ regular swing artist, Federico Sabbatini. Arriving in November, the issue will see Moon Knight battle the Black Spectre for the fate of the city – and every step forward is paid for with blood. Will Moon Knight and his allies thwart the Spectre’s scheme? And if they do, what will remain of them?
“Almost all the pieces are now on the board—on one side, Moon Knight and his allies in the Midnight Mission, and on the other, the Black Spectre, his creatures, and his plan for New York,” MacKay explained. “We’ve been building towards this confrontation since #19, and starting with MOON KNIGHT #28, Moon Knight and the Black Spectre go to war. It’s not just a question of victory, but survival itself. The Midnight Mission is already cloaked in the black of mourning…”
Check out the cover from Sabbatini above and stay tuned for more information about what’s next for Moon Knight soon!
