- The scars of Zodiac’s attack linger with the faithful of the Midnight Mission, but that doesn’t stop Moon Knight from picking an entirely new fight. A new arc begins as Moon Knight goes to war with the vampires of the Structure, but he finds it a battle on two fronts – one on the midnight streets, the other within his own mind!
Moon Knight has already had to deal with vampires in Marvel's current run. Moon Knight #1 opened with the titular hero taking out van being driven by two vampires, while other "baby vampires" are held hostage in the back. The vampire in the passanger seat tells the hostages, "It's time! You remember how we brought you sob-ords into the structure? Now it's your turn. Once you pull in a new recruit and turn them, they'll be your sub-ords! And then you'll reach Omicron level!" Moon Knight stops the vampires before they can do any real harm. After killing the two driving the van, he spares the others who were kept in the back. Later, Moon Knight hires one of the former vampire hostages, Reese, to work as a receponist at his Midnight Mission congregation.
Since then, much of Moon Knight's time has been spent dealing with other nightly threats -- namely Zodiac, who revealed himself to be Marc Spector's friend Terry in Moon Knight #5. The latest entry in the series, Moon Knight #10, also saw the Fist of Khonshu briefly go up against Waxman, a longtime Marvel villain.
As Moon Knight prepares for his battle against the undead in the comics, the live-action version of the character played by Oscar Isaac continues his mission of justice in the Disney+ series. One theory suggests that Ethan Hawke's villain, Arthur Harrow, could actually be Dracula; although, that hasn't been confirmed by Marvel or the series as of yet. Episode three of Moon Knight is now streaming on Disney+.
Moon Knight #13 goes on sale July 6 from Marvel.
