Marvel Knights

Marvel Knights is an imprint of Marvel Comics. Dealing with more mature themes than the regular imprint, it is intended more for teenagers than children. However, it does not deal with the adult themes touched on by the MAX imprint. The imprint originated when Marvel outsourced four titles (Black Panther, Daredevil, The Punisher and The Inhumans) to Joe Quesada's Event Comics company; Event hired the creative teams for the Knights line while Marvel published them. The imprint has since been folded back into Marvel's standard methods of publication, and is used to single out Marvel's "edgier" titles.

The imprint has included such titles:

Ongoing

• Daredevil
• X-23
• Elektra
• Marvel Knights 4
• Marvel Knights Spider-Man
• Wolverine
• District X
• Strange

Finished

• Black Panther
• Black Widow
• Captain America
• Doctor Strange
• The Inhumans
• Moon Knight
• The Punisher

As well, there was a series titled Marvel Knights in this imprint, featuring a loosely organized team (similar in concept to Marvel's 1970s Defenders series) whose rotating membership included the Black Widow, Dagger, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Shang-Chi and the Punisher.

In 2004, Marvel Comics created a Marvel Knights 2099 imprint, which takes place in a future continuity (in the year 2099, of course) that is not identical to the Marvel 2099 continuity.
