Marvel Comics has announced that the first issue of their new Moon Knight series has sold out and been sent back to press.

Penned by New Avengers writer Brian Michael Bendis alongside his regular collaborator Alex Maleev, Moon Knight redefines the titular character with both a new mission and base of operations.

The company has announced that, due to overwhelming sales, a second printing of the first issue has been ordered, featuring a variant cover by Maleev.

"Bendis and Maleev have a superior grasp of comics layout, and Moon Knight #1 is a fantastic debut issue," Comics Bulletin said of the new series. "It's smart, it's funny, it's action-packed, and it sets you up for more."

Moon Knight has experienced new-found popularity in recent months, due in part to his presence on Warren Ellis's Secret Avengersroster.

Moon Knight #1 Second Printing Variant is due out on June 22.
