Not long after Ms. Marvel breathed her last (though we recently learned that she will return as a mutant), Marvel Comics has announced plans to kill off Marc Spector, aka Moon Knight.
The publisher shared a teaser for a new storyline titled "The Last Days of Moon Knight" earlier this week, and has now confirmed (via AIPTComics.com) that Spector will meet his maker in a new 3-part story from writer Jed MacKay and artist Alessandro Cappuccio starting this October with issue #28.
Though Spector will undoubtedly return at some point, it sounds like another character will be taking up the Moon Knight mantle for the foreseeable future.
“Almost all the pieces are now on the board - on one side, Moon Knight and his allies in the Midnight Mission, and on the other, the Black Spectre, his creatures, and his plan for New York,” MacKay explained. “We’ve been building towards this confrontation since #19, and starting with MOON KNIGHT #28, Moon Knight and the Black Spectre go to war. It’s not just a question of victory but survival itself. The Midnight Mission is already cloaked in the black of mourning."
Check out the cover art for issue #28 below, along woth a story synopsis.
Marc Spector’s journey reaches a climactic end. Running from MOON KNIGHT #28-30, “The Last Days of Moon Knight” will see Moon Knight in a deadly race to intercept the Black Spectre before his apocalyptic schemes bear fruit — but the clock is ticking, and a city hangs in the balance. And when the dust settles, a new vengeance will be born.
