Fans will see new versions of Moon Knight rise in Marvel Comics’ upcoming four-issue comic book series, Phases of the Moon Knight. The first issue will arrive in August.
Per Marvel, Phases of the Moon Knight will uncover long-hidden secrets of Moon Knight history and feature the creative talents of writers Benjamin Percy and Erica Shultz, and artists Rod Reis and Manuel Garcia. The debut issue cover comes from acclaimed artist Mateus Manhanini. Marvel’s Phases of the Moon Knight description reads, “Though he is among the most recent, Marc Spector is far from the first Fist of Khonshu! As fans have witnessed in the pages of Jed MacKay’s hit run, Marc and Hunter’s Moon are only the latest in a long line of diverse and fascinating Khonshu champions. The spectres of their predecessors have been called upon to aid in their most desperate battles, and now it’s time to learn their stories!”

Schultz and García’s story follows Marc Spector’s death, as the supernatural villain known as the Shroud rises as a darker, more vengeful version of Moon Knight. The tale will “take readers back to the night it all started when the Shroud undertook his new mission and began enacting his unique and violent vision of justice.”
Percy and Reis will introduce the Moon Knight of the Old Crusades, a brand-new Moon Knight presented as an ancient incarnation of the character. Forged in the crucible of a holy war, the new Moon Knight crusader will find himself in Ancient Egypt, where he will come into conflict with one of the first mutants, Apocalypse.
