We all know there has been no Moon Knight solicitations for a two months now, except for the Moon Knight Saga comic re-cap in August, and there was no Moon Knight solicitation in Marvel's latest solicitations for September, released yesterday. I found this tidbit on Diamonds website to be very interesting:
JULY GEMS OF THE MONTH
In July, the PREVIEWS Gem of the Month top picks include:
• Dark Horse Comics’ Usagi Yojimbo HC: Yokai
• DC Comics’ Superman: Secret Origins #1
• Image Comics’ Underground #1
• Marvel Comics’ Vengeance of Moon Knight #1
• Wizard Entertainment’s Wizard #216.

There is going to be a new Moon Knight series!! After finding this out, I did some digging. While there is no hard evidence to corroborate this, I have heard that the new Moon knight writer is .......acclaimed bestselling thriller and mystery author, novelist and screenwriter Gregg Hurwitz. Gregg has just signed an exclusive with Marvel after doing some projects for them. Read this article and you'll see what I mean:

an on his blog:

After reading the interview at Marvel, there were some key elements discussed:
Marvel.com: I know you've written a few things for Marvel in the past year or so, but what made you decide to go exclusive?
Gregg Hurwitz: What happened [was] we hooked into enough projects that had a length and a body of work for me to go [exclusive]. Once I got my arms around [my next project], it was really clear that I'd need a couple arcs to accomplish what I wanted. Then it just made sense to fold in house, because I'm not going to have time to do a ton of writing on the comic book front aside from [my] Marvel [work]. There's another project that we have coming up as well that we haven't announced yet, and that's going to be a lot of fun.
Marvel.com: What characters in the Marvel Universe would you most like to one day get your hands on that you haven't yet?
Gregg Hurwitz: Well, I will say this as a slight tease: The one [character] I'd most want to get my hands on, I'm getting my hands on, and we can't announce it yet. It's the main guy I wanted to write, and we have one of the top artists in the world, so I can not wait for that.
With two major comic conventions happening this weekend, Wizard World Philly and HeroesCon, there are sure to be announcements made from Marvel at these conventions. I would not be surprised that Moon Knight will be one of them. Since Moon Knight was not released with the rest of July's solicitations today, this announcement can be made this weekend allowing it to be included in the July Previews that will ship in at the end of the month.
