The upcoming Moon Knight series from Jed McKay and Alessandro Cappuccio will feature one of Marvel's newest artists providing cover art for its second issue.
CBR can exclusively reveal the cover for Moon Knight #2, which features cover art by Peach Momoko. Momoko's cover features Marc Spector in his Moon Knight costume, surrounded by a silver frame and blood-soaked white lilies. Flecks of blood can also be seen on Spector's costume.
The new Moon Knight series by Jed MacKay and artist Alessandro Cappuccio spins out of the "Age of Khonshu" storyline in Jason Aaron's Avengers run, which saw Spector battle the Avengers. Spector now protects wayward travelers who come to his newly founded Midnight Mission and continues to keep Khonshu imprisoned.
Momoko is part of Marvel's "Stormbreakers" initiative, which spotlights the rising comic book artists of the next generation. She launched the Demon Days series in March, which features a manga-inspired take on several of the Marvel Universe's characters. The first issue, titled Demon Days: X-Men, reimagined Psylocke as a demon-hunting samurai in feudal Japan.
The relaunch debuts as a Moon Knight television series is currently filming for Disney+. Oscar Issac will portray Spector in the television adaptation.
Written by Jed McKay and illustrated by Alessandro Cappuccio, Moon Knight #1 goes on sale on July 7 from Marvel.
