Werewolf By Night Attacks In Marvel Comics' MOON KNIGHT ANNUAL #1 This Halloween

Marc Spector is currently baring his very soul as he tackles his most hard-hitting missions to date in writer Jed MacKay’s current run on Moon Knight. With new villains and fresh takes on the Moon Knight mythology, the title has been a hit with fans, and this October, we'll be treated to even more revolutionary action in the title's first annual.

A double-sized spectacular, Moon Knight Annual #1 will feature art by Federico Sabbatini, the artist behind select issues of Moon Knight as well as the recent Devil's Reign: Moon Knight one-shot. The story will feature a bloody reunion between Moon Knight and an iconic Marvel Comics character whom he shares deep roots with: Jack Russell, the Werewolf by Night! 

Remember, Marc Spector debuted in the pages of Werewolf by Night #32 in 1975 and, this October, we're expecting Marvel Studios to introduce Jack in a standalone Disney+ Special. 

As for this annual, in the Darkhold, there is a prophecy of how a God might die. Jack Russell, more familiar with that cursed tome than most, would like very much to kill a god and save his people, the people bound in servitude to the moon. But to fulfil that prophecy requires the blood of the Fist of Khonshu, and Moon Knight doesn’t bleed easily.

"It's been great seeing people respond to our Moon Knight series, and it's always a bit of a thrill to give folks even more- and Moon Knight Annual #1 was the place to revisit some old history," MacKay says. "Moon Knight has changed a lot since he first did battle with the Werewolf by Night, but so has Jack Russell, and having the opportunity to see how these two interact now, all these years later, has been a lot of fun."

"And Jack isn't the only player in Moon Knight's history who is turning up when Federico Sabbatini joins us for another adventure (and draws the hell out of it, I must add)."

Moon Knight Annual #1 will arrive in comic book stores on October 26, and you can check out some awesome cover art courtesy of artist Rod Reis below:

@Reginator - ...because he's a street level hero. This is like giving daredevil devil powers.

@Reginator - I'm guessing you haven't read any of the current run, lol. He's exhibited none of the power he exhibited in Age of Khonshu, because Khonshu was still imprisoned in Asgard up until issue 12.

@MrMediocre - have not read any thing since the late 1970’s or early 1980’s

@Reginator - Gotcha. Yeah, Moonie has been brought back down to earth, especially since he was central to Khonshu being stopped.

His current run has been pretty grounded. He's been killing vampires that are part of a weird vampiric pyramid scheme cult, and most of his villains have been street level, or even non-powered.

It's been a good run so far, but I am a little biased as a Moonie fan.

@MrMediocre - MK was a favorite of mine way back then. I’m sure a lot has changed in the 40 years or so I stopped reading those books.

I'll always chuckle at Werewolf By Night's real name being Jack Russell.
