Issue Details

Synopsis

In Marc Spector's Long Island mansion, a three-way battle takes place between Moon Knight, Gambit and the Werewolf.  The fight rages until Moon Knight commands his hovercraft, the Angelwing, to blast a hole in the wall then lock its guns on the two intruders.  Things calm down, and Gambit explains his presence there is to warn Moon Knight that his fellow X-Man Psylocke had, during the infinity War, psychically detected a health risk.  Feeling invaded by the psychic probe, Moon Knight dismisses Gambit and his warning, then turns to the Werewolf to ask what his intent is.  The lycanthrope relates how he sensed the demonic taint on Moon Knight, a result of the Crescent Crusader's encounter with the possessed Hobgoblin.  Moon Knight protests that he's been purged of that taint, and the Werewolf realizes what he now senses are the stains on Moon Knight's outfit left by the resin secreted by Glaze, one of the Hellbent.  They join forces and head for Central Park.
