The Teaser:
THE LAST DAYS OF MOON KNIGHT…Stay tuned later this week to learn about a startling new story arc coming to Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio’s MOON KNIGHT series this October.
PiercingMetal Thoughts: I won’t add too many thoughts here since these teasers can sometimes be misleading. Those “last days” or “the death of” broadcasts are not always what they seem but since I’m pretty behind on the whole current “Moon Knight” mythology, I will wait and see what comes in the full press releases that usually follow these kinds of teasers. Feel free to chime in down below if you have any predictions about this. Otherwise any opinions can wait until the full on news comes out. See you again my friends. Take good care and “Good Luck” in advance to Moon Knight.
