Moon Knight is Finally Back and He Already Has a Target on His Back
[[{“value”:”
Marvel’s original Moon Knight is officially back in action, and he is already on track for a direct confrontation with his would-be successor.
As a new dawn breaks in the pages of Vengeance of the Moon Knight #8, the titular hero’s longtime allies are finally reunited with the founder of the Midnight Mission they so dutifully protect. Thanks to Khonshu being freed from his Asgardian prison, Marc Spector is resurrected by his patron god. Unfortunately, this means there is no longer room for a second Moon Knight, and it is hard to imagine that Marc’s successor will give up that mantle without a fight.

After Marc Spector sacrificed himself to save New York City from what would have been a truly devastating attack, he was unable to resurrect himself as he had done so many times before. This was because Khonshu, the God of the Moon who Marc derives his powers from, was still imprisoned deep beneath Asgard for his crimes against the world. Not long after Marc’s demise, the mantle of Moon Knight was taken by Max Coleridge, better known as the Shroud, who was desperate for a way to reclaim the life he felt he had lost control of.
During Marvel Comics’ recently concluded Blood Hunt crossover event, the skies of Earth were blacked out entirely by Darkforce energies to make way for an army of vampires to take over the globe. This vampiric army was led by none other than Marvel’s very own Daywalker, Blade, who had somehow become possessed by the spirit of the very first vampire, Varnae. The carnage that ensued brought nearly every single Marvel hero and villain into the fight, save for those who were almost immediately cut down or transformed in the initial attack.
Marvel’s New X-Factor is Just Getting Started and They’re Failing
Marvel’s new X-Factor lineup is one of the best of all time, but that isn’t keeping people from hating them for taking on the roles they have now.
In the hopes of evening the odds, Moon Knight’s allies Tigra and Hunter’s Moon took it upon themselves to free Khonshu from imprisonment. Using the Wrecker’s enchanted crowbar, the duo were able to not only ensure Khonshu’s freedom, but Marc Spector’s return as well. So far, this hasn’t caused any serious issues, although it remains to be seen what Khonshu’s next move will be considering he was imprisoned for leading his own attempt at taking over the world.
