Last week, we learned that Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio's hit run of Moon Knight is gearing up for what promises to be a radical transformation.
In December's Moon Knight #30, Marc Spector will reach an untimely end at the hands of Black Spectre. However, the Midnight Mission lives on in January's Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1 where an all-new Moon Knight will rise.
Bathed in mystery, this dark new era of the character promises to be a monumental turning point for the Moon Knight mythos and superstar artist Greg Capullo is here to ring it in with new variant covers.
The legendary artist, known for his prolific work throughout the industry - specifically alongside Scott Snyder during their historic Batman run - returned to Marvel Comics this year. With a multitude of variant covers ahead, it's said we can look forward to seeing Capullo bring our favourite Marvel characters to life in his iconic style.
Also available as virgin variant covers, Capullo's new covers for Moon Knight #30 and Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1 give us a final look at Marc Spector's classic costume before the new, more brutal Moon Knight emerges to take his place!
"We're thrilled to bring the next chapter of this saga to uneasy life as the Midnight Mission reels from a recent loss," MacKay recently said, "and yet, Moon Knight still stalks the nighttime streets? Despite the apocalyptic events of Moon Kniht #28-30, we have plenty left to tell in the story of the Moon Knight, and I'm excited for readers to join us!"
There was a time when a character's death in comic books actually meant something. Unfortunately, it's now more often than not used as an excuse to relaunch a title, something we've seen recently with both Doctor Strange and Ms. Marvel.
Now, it's Moon Knight's turn, though we'd be lying to say we're not intrigued to learn more about where this story is going...and whether we're about to meet one of the hero's new personalities!
Check out both of Capullo's covers below and inquire at your local comic shop regarding availability and pre-orders.
