BGN interviews the cast of the AMC+ series Moonhaven.
Featured in the interviews are: Emma McDonald (Bella Sway), Dominic Monaghan (Paul Serno), and Joe Manganiello (Tomm Schultz). Moonhaven centers on Bella Sway (McDonald), a lunar cargo pilot and smuggler 100 years in the future who finds herself accused of a crime and marooned on Moonhaven, a utopian community set on a 500-square-mile Garden of Eden built on the Moon to find solutions to the problems that will soon end civilization on Mother Earth.
A skeptic in Paradise, Bella is sucked into a conspiracy to gain control of the artificial intelligence responsible for Moonhaven’s miracles and teams with a local detective to stop the forces that want to destroy Earth’s last hope before they are destroyed themselves.

The long-awaited return of the best-selling sci-fi adventure is finally here!

Eve, Eve’s sister, and Wexler face new challenges, and a darkness from the past.

“When EVE came out I didn’t know if readers would love her and her journey as much as I did. It was a gift when they embraced her as much as they did. And when we were done with issue #5, I realized there was more of her story to tell. But not just hers. The whole world we’d built,” said LaValle. “Eve saved the world but what happens the day after that? What if the world doesn’t take too kindly to saviors?”
Jo Mi-Gyeong is a comic artist and illustrator based out of Seoul, Korea, best known for her work on Victor LaValle’s Eve and Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance for BOOM! Studios and the original comic book series Beastlands.
“CHILDREN OF THE MOON is an exciting story that’s completely new while still having strong connections to EVE’s previous adventures,” said Mi-Gyeong. “I’m very excited to go on this journey with Eve, who has grown up, and to show you all the new faces, as well as the various worlds of Eve that we haven’t shown yet!”
EVE: CHILDREN OF THE MOON #1 features main cover art by artist Ario Anindito (Star Wars: The High Republic) and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Jahnoy Lindsay (Hawkeye: Kate Bishop), Miguel Mercado (Mighty Morphin), and Mike Del Mundo (Hulk).
