Moon Knight fans need not worry. Although the Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu series ends with issue #15 in December, Jed MacKay and Devmalya Pramanik get right back to the Midnight Mission in February with the first issue of the new ongoing Marc Spector: Moon Knight series.
As usual, Marc Spector and all of this other personalities are in for a rough go, especially when the edgy hero gets kidnapped, leaving the other members of the Midnight Mission tasked with a new mission: find Moon Knight.
“Moon Knight’s conflicts have, up until this point, been personal affairs—Moon Knight butting heads with Zodiac, the Tutor, the Black Spectre, the other Moon Knight, Achilles Fairchild, et al” MacKay said. “But this situation, this captivity, isn’t personal, it’s business. Moon Knight has fallen amongst the churning gears of one of the Marvel Universe’s super crime organizations, Agence Byzantine, who want something from him and will go to any length to get it. Even to the point of hiring outside contractors, such as one Mr. Smith. And for Mr. Smith (whose name is not Mr. Smith), it’s gone all the way back around to personal again.”
MacKay also points out that “This isn’t the first time that the Midnight Mission has lost track of Moon Knight (in Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #6)), but this time it’s not so simple to track him down. As I said, this isn’t a single super villain or mobster—the resources of an international super crime organization have been brought [to build] a labyrinth for Moon Knight, and it’s not one easily escaped. Not unless someone else were to lend some aid…”
And who exactly kidnapped Moon Knight? Prime suspects include Mr. Fear and the previously deceased Bushman.
Look for the first issue of Marc Spector: Moon Knight at your local comic shop on February 11.
