New York Comic-Con will be occurring in New York City this weekend (funny enough, while I'm busy at a different convention, GalaxyCon STL). That show officially starts tomorrow, but is doing a, "Retailer Day," right now. Two early announcements out of NYCC 2025 have come from Marvel and are intriguing.
Another, "Moon Knight," Relaunch.
Jed MacKay has been writing some form of, "Moon Knight," for quite some time (with various artists on the differing series), and that makes me happy as he is good at it. I will admit it has been confusing, however, as we had, "Moon Knight," which led into, "Vengeance of the Moon Knight," and that turned into, "Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu," before it was just announced it is ending. However, there is no need to fret as the same writer (MacKay) will be continuing the epic saga he's been telling over all the series with the latest Moon Knight title, "Marc Spector: Moon Knight," which is a nice homage to the first series with that name from back in the day. As long as we keep getting quality Moon Knight content, I don't mind the renaming and renumbering of series too much--it most likely confuses more casual fans/readers of the character, however. Look for the latest series this February 2026.
The Ultimate Universe Truly Ending?
I've blogged about the idea that it seems outlandish for Marvel to truly pull the plug on this latest Ultimate Universe, as it has been a critical hit and made good money. That said, they are doubling down on the idea that they are actually going to shut it down in April of 2026 when, "Utlimate: Endgame," concludes. If Marvel really does end this Ultimate Universe I would appluad their metaphorical brass balls (and I'd expect some characters to be folded back into the regualr 616 Universe). I still feel like we are heading toward some kind of relaunch/reboot that allows this current Ultimate Universe to stand alone but gives, "Birth," to a new one. Prove me wrong, Marvel.
