COMICS WARLOCKS

Moon Knight is one of my favorite characters, and honestly, we don’t talk about him enough here. So let’s fix that and talk about his most recent series.

Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu recently wrapped after 15 issues. And before you panic, no, we are not losing him, because Marc Spector: Moon Knight is already continuing the story. But today, we’re talking about Fist of Khonshu.

First of all, I am so happy Jed MacKay is on Moon Knight. He took over the character in 2021 and has been absolutely killing it ever since. And yes, this is coming from someone who has read every single Moon Knight issue. MacKay also just wrapped one of my favorite Avengers runs ever. That lineup? Perfect. And he’s doing great work on X-Men too. The man is everywhere, and somehow everything he touches works.

But now, Fist of Khonshu. What makes this series stand out is how it balances high stakes with real character growth. Moon Knight has come a long way. For once, Marc isn’t just surviving. He’s building something. He has a team. He has relationships. He has a place that actually feels like home. The Midnight Mission is not just a base. It’s part of the identity of this run. It grounds everything. It gives the chaos a center. And the dynamics? So good. Marc and Tigra bring a level of warmth that never softens who he is, it just adds depth. And somehow, 8-Ball became one of my favorite parts of the book. I did not expect that, but his comic relief hits every time without breaking the tone.

What I really appreciate is how much space the series gives its supporting cast. These characters are not just orbiting Moon Knight. They grow, they struggle, they exist on their own terms. It makes the whole world feel alive.

Visually, this book goes hard. We had multiple artists across the run, including Alessandro Cappuccio, Domenico Carbone, and Dev Pramanik, and each brought their own energy. But what truly ties everything together is Rachelle Rosenberg’s coloring. Her work is what makes this series pop. That contrast between Moon Knight’s bright, almost glowing white and the brutal, bloody violence of the fights? Insane. Every panel feels sharp. Every hit feels heavier. It elevates everything.

And speaking of violence, Moon Knight works incredibly well when things get darker, bloodier, and more intense. Much like the Red Band version of the Blood Hunt crossover (also by MacKay), I would love a full Moon Knight Red Band series. This character lives in that space. Let him go all the way!

Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu is Marc Spector at his best. This run is the result of years of buildup. We know the team. We care about them. We understand the mission. And when things get violent, it feels earned.

The series ended in December 2025, and the third trade paperback is dropping in April 2026. But don’t forget, Marc Spector: Moon Knight is already ongoing, also by MacKay, so the story is far from over.
