Marvel Comics has released an official trailer for Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1, the first issue in a new series featuring Marc Spector’s brutal successor as the Fist of Khonshu.
Marc Spector will meet his demise in December’s Moon Knight #30 by Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio. MacKay and Cappuccio will then re-team for Vengeance of the Moon Knight, which launches in January. The trailer for issue #1 promises that “the Midnight Mission will carry on” — and a “new Knight will have his vengeance.”

In addition to the trailer, Marvel has revealed new interior artwork from both Moon Knight #30 and Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1. The former issue features a cover by Stephen Segovia, while the latter features a cover by David Finch.
What to expect from Vengeance of the Moon Knight
An official synopsis for Vengeance #1 reads as follows: “Clad in the black of mourning, the Midnight Mission remains! But who is left to keep the faith? And how have they been changed by the Black Spectre’s master stroke? The next chapter of MOON KNIGHT starts here as the congregants of the Midnight Mission pick up the pieces and carry on the mission … and find themselves faced with a mysterious new enemy in eerily familiar vestments.”
“MOON KNIGHT may be dying, but VENGEANCE OF THE MOON KNIGHT rises, clawing itself from the grave!” MacKay said. “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!”
“We needed a new black suit in this series so here we are!” Cappuccio added regarding the new Fist of Khonshu’s look. “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!”
Moon Knight #30 goes on sale Wednesday, December 13 from Marvel Comics. Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1 follows suit on January 3, 2024.
