THE MOON RISES IN BENDIS & MALEEV’S MOON KNIGHT #1 Night descends upon the concrete canyons of New York. Traffic clogs the Manhattan streets. In the distance, the trill of police sirens is heard. Evil is afoot in the city, and it will take the calling of a special man with a unique calling to combat it — Moon Knight! In his life, Marc Spector has been many things — a boxer, a Marine, a CIA spook, a gun for hire. His life has been dedicated to inflicting pain and punishment, even death, upon those whose path he crosses. The discovery of an ancient Egyptian temple during his mercenary days set his life on a different path — as the living avatar of the Egyptian god Khonshu. With a renewed purpose in life, Spector believes he can redeem his life and right his karmic balance by avenging the wronged and the downtrodden as a super-hero, Moon Knight. Basing himself in New York, and taking on several different identities, such as millionaire industrialist Steven Grant and taxi driver Jack Lockley, to put his old mercenary life behind him, Moon Knight has battled evil in the concrete canyons — while also battling the voices of Grant, Lockley, and Khonshu within his mind. This May, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev chronicle a new chapter in the life of Marc Spector, Moon Knight. Everything you think you about Moon Knight, everything you think possible for Marc Spector, will be challenged. The team behind Spider-Woman and Scarlet promise to do for Moon Knight what they did on their award-winning run on Daredevil — take the character, take him apart, and redefine him as never before! All the mysteries, all the fractured psychology, everything that makes Marc Spector and Moon Knight tick — all of it will be laid bare when Bendis and Maleev are through! The moon rises for Marc Spector this May in Moon Knight #1, and a light will shine on Manhattan’s criminal underworld! Moon Knight #1 also marks the debut of Marvel’s “Big Shots” initiative, three new series featuring three of Marvel’s most promising and most important characters as they take their rightful place among the top tier of Marvel heroes. Don’t miss out on the lunar dawn with Moon Knight!
