	Moon Knight will headline a new ongoing Marvel Comics series beginning in July. The new series features the creative talents of writer Jed MacKay (Black Cat, Taskmaster) and artist Alessandro Cappuccio (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). Spinning out of the events of Jason Aaron's Avengers run, the series features the titular vigilante protecting those who enter his newly formed Midnight Mission. Moon Knight will also deal with the loss of his god, Khonshu, who he imprisoned at the end of the "Age of Khonshu" storyline in Avengers. "I'm very excited to be working with Alessando Cappuccio on the continuing adventures of one of Marvel's biggest messes- Moon Knight!" MacKay said while discussing the series. "In the wake of his disastrous attempt to take over the world in the 'Age of Khonshu,' Marc Spector (et al) has retreated to what he knows- busting heads on the streets. But despite betraying his god to the Avengers, the Fist of Khonshu's obligations remain the same- to protect those travelling at night. Apostate priest of the moon god, the mysterious Mr. Knight has opened the doors of his Midnight Mission, where those in fear of the weird and strange may petition for the aid of the Moon Knight! But this doesn't sit well with everyone, and hidden threats circle Marc's new start from the shadows..." "When Tom Brevoort contacted me to work on the new Moon Knight series, I couldn't believe it," Cappuccio added. "Debuting in Marvel Comics with one of my favorite characters is a dream come true! The story is a new beginning for Moon Knight, Jed did an excellent job as usual on the scripts and I'm delighted to be working with a professional of his caliber." Moon Knight is the alter ego of Marc Spector, who was blessed with powers from the moon god Khonshu after suffering a fatal accident. He is well known for his brutal methods as well as dealing with dissociative identity disorder, which often leads to the emergence of multiple personalities. A Moon Knight television series is currently in pre-production at Disney+, with Oscar Issac reportedly attached to don the vigilante's trademark white hood.
