Moon Knight has an inexpensive Easter egg: free Moon Knight comics

You would expect that moon knightthe Disney Plus series would have many ties to Moon Knight, the Marvel Comics superhero on which it is based. But Marvel Entertainment and Marvel Comics have gone a step further by secretly embedding free Moon Knight comics into the show itself.

Last week, curious fans decided to test out the QR code that appears next to a sarcophagus at showleader Steven Grant’s museum workstation. Lo and behold, it actually worked.

Another QR code appeared in the second episode of this week moon knight“Summon the Suit”, on the door of a storage unit.

Both links point directly to a page on Marvel.com which seems to be updated with a new free-to-read Moon Knight comic every week. So far, every fan who visits the site can read issues #32 and #33 of Werewolf at night — Marvel’s premier lycanthropic horror book of the 1970s. These issues are more famous today for being the very first Moon Knight story ever told, in which Faust was hired by Khonshu to capture Jack Russell, the eponymous werewolf. (Moon Knight has evolved significantly since then.)

Will more expenses be added as moon knight continues its six-episode run on Disney Plus? The odds seem pretty good, and there are plenty of more modern (and representative inspirations for moon knight) issues to include. The site also offers a promo code “KHONSHU” for 80% off a new subscriber’s first month Wonder indefinitely.
