While it may be awhile before we see Oscar Isaac reprise his role as Moon Knight in the MCU, Marvel comics has you cover. Yesterday the publisher announced that it will be celebrating Moon Knight’s 50th anniversary this July with a special oversized issue of Moon Knight: Fist of Khnoshu #10 which also happens to the character’s 250th issue.

Here’s how Marvel describes the issue:

Since its launch, Jed MacKay’s Moon Knight has become one of the most acclaimed run’s in the character’s history, redefining the lunar legionnaire’s mission and mythos for a new age! Now, the series scribe sets the stage for his most ambitious and gut-wrenching story yet! Joined by rising superstar Devmalya Pramanik, it’s a landmark issue fans can’t afford to miss as Marc Spector has a decisive showdown with new supervillain, Achilles Fairchild. It’s an explosive finale to the series’ current arc and a startling beginning to what’s next for the Midnight Mission…

Writer Jed MacKay who began work on the character a few years back expressed great excitement about celebrating the Moon Knight 50th anniversary.

“Taking Moon Knight from Legacy #201 to Legacy #250 over the last few years has been an extraordinary experience. We’ve been able to play out some long-running stories, develop our cast of characters in a way I’ve never been able to before, and connect with fans in a manner that I certainly never experienced up till now. I’m thrilled for folks to see what we’re doing in MOON KNIGHT: FIST OF KHONSHU #250 and how it will set up more Moon Knight stories to come!”
