Marvel has unearthed a new trailer revealing the fate of the Moon Knight mantle as the book heads to its endgame and relaunch to Vengeance of the Moon Knight. As Marc Spector battles Black Spector in the pages of Moon Knight #28-30, death’s shadow lingers. In the new year, the book’s creative team, Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio, establish what the Midnight Mission looks like in the wake of a dead Moon Knight.
In the press release from Marvel, writer Jed MacKay described the transition to the new series:
“MOON KNIGHT may be dying, but VENGEANCE OF THE MOON KNIGHT rises, clawing itself from the grave! We’re thrilled to bring the next chapter of this saga to uneasy life as the Midnight Mission reels from a recent loss… and yet, Moon Knight still stalks the night time streets? Despite the apocalyptic events of MOON KNIGHT #28-30, we have plenty left to tell in the story of the Moon Knight, and I’m excited for readers to join us!”
The main creative team returns for the relaunch, and Cappuccio will provide interiors and design the new suit for the Fist of Khonshu in mourning. David Finch provides the main cover for the first issue, utilizing the new suit.
Alessandro Cappuccio discussed the new design in the press release, stating:
“We needed a new black suit in this series so here we are! For the design, I took inspiration from ancient Egyptian banded armor while trying to stay true to the mood of the character. I replaced the classic batons with similar weapons that are reminiscent of the flowers of the Nile as depicted in the hieroglyphics. He is a new Moon Knight in both appearance and spirit and needed a change of look to suit the situation as you will see!”
