Moon Knight: Cult Of Khonshu #1 - (Script)

RECAP: After "Shadowland", Marc Spector had started serving Khonshu again. He was married to Marlene, living happily with her in his mansion... while still serving the violent and hungry Khonshu. God of the Moon and vengeance. Eventually, Khonshu grew tired of Marlene's positive influence. Khonshu faked a prophecy to turn Moon Knight into a better warrior. The coming of the red moon. And while this coincided with the return of several of Moon Knight's prominent enemies, it was all a lie. Marc Spector had, against his will, become violent and abusive toward Marlene. He had pushed her away and out of his life, and he had no idea why. In fact, he had no idea it was happening at all. He had become Khonshu's puppet. On the night of the red moon, Moon Knight saw his enemies attack him, along with a horde of werewolves. His mansion burned in the process. Marc killed his enemies, and he thought he saw Marlene die in his arms. So he killed himself.

But this wasn't true either.

Amnesiac and alone, Moon Knight woke up in the alleys of urban New York City, Khonshu directly controlling him now. Preparing him. The truth of the red moon eventually came to Moon Knight after he killed Bastet, Goddess of the Moon, and Khonshu's former lover. Marc rejected Khonshu, and Marlene and his friends accepted him again. Khonshu had made himself visible to them, and they knew the evil that controlled Marc before was very real.

Weeks passed. What Khonshu was preparing Marc for exactly remained uncertain. But Bastet mentioned that others hated Khonshu. And they were coming.

Two new Moon Knights rose to take Marc's place. Steven Grant and Jake Lockley.

How long they've been hiding under Khonshu's wing is unknown.

In the mean time, The Punisher had fought supernatural forces that controlled the Ghost Rider, and only survived with the assistance of Khonshu and his Moon Knights. A life debt was made, and The Punisher reluctantly agreed. He now owes Khonshu a favor.
