Marvel unveils new Moon Knight in brand-new series

Since his inception in Wereworld by Night #32 in August 1975, Moon Knight has seen many interactions as a servant to the Egyptian Gods and now, we have yet another anti-hero to celebrate.

Over the years, the likes of Marc Spector, Steven Grant and Jake Lockley have all donned the white cape and cowl to fight the forces of evil and it’s with these constant new iterations, that the Moon Knight series in the Marvel world has remained fresh after all these years.

Moon Knight has also seen success in live-action form with the Disney Plus series starring Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector and was well received on aggregate websites such as Rotten Tomatoes scoring 86% from critics and 89% from the audience. Sadly, however, it seems that Moon Knight will not be getting a second season anytime soon.

Thankfully at least, while it looks like season two is off the cards for now, we can still rely on good old comic books to keep us entertained. Because, as reported by Comicbook.com, a brand-new Moon Knight has been crowned.

Before we proceed, I am about to go into spoiler territory for the latest Moon Knight comic book. In a new four-part series that explores the legacy of the Fist of Khonshu, Phases of the Moon Knight #1 written by Benjamin Percy and the artwork created by Rod Reis, is available right now.

“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,” reads the synopsis of Phases of the Moon Knight #1.

“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!” it concludes.

The new Moon Knight is a man named Cassian, a fearless warrior from the Middle Ages who grew tired of killing mercilessly for his Gods. Now, Cassian is a servant of Khonshu and despite initially rejecting the offer of serving, he was convinced to free slaves held captive to build castles and pyramids for heartless rulers.

Phases of the Moon Knight #1 is available now wherever you buy your comic books.
