What they’re saying:
- Writer Jed MacKay: "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!"
- Artist Alessandro Cappuccio: "Working with Tom [Brevoort] and Jed is one of the most natural things I've ever done, we are in perfect sync and I hope our relationship lasts much longer. This new Moon Knight cycle will hold several surprises for readers and I look forward to being able to show them to you in the coming months.”
- Cappuccio on Moon Knight’s new design: “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!"
