Moon Knight Has Officially Been Replaced in Marvel Comics
Warning: contains a preview for Moon Knight #8!
In a new preview for Marvel Comics' Moon Knight, Marc Spector has been replaced due to his current predicament in Marvel's ongoing Devil's Reign event. New York's corrupt mayor Wilson Fisk, the former Kingpin of Crime, has decided to declare war on New York's superheroes, outlawing all superhero and vigilante activity under the new Powers Act. As a result, Moon Knight was one of the first to be arrested. Now, this new preview teases that the Hunter's Moon has stepped up to take his place as the Fist of Khonshu.
Hunter's Moon (real name Dr. Badr) was recently revealed to be the second Fist and priest of Khonshu. While he cares very little for Marc and his flippant disregard for their god and the purpose he's been given, Badr has grown to a least respect Spector's Moon Knight, seeing him as his brother (albeit a wayward one.) Now, this new preview from writer Jed MacKay and artist Alessandro Cappuccio sees Hunter's Moon stepping up in Moon Knight's absence.
