1. I cant figure out

How moon night got to #189.

when I was a kid I was s subscriber to moon knight from 1980. About two or three years later I got a letter saying they were sorry it was canceled and they switched my subscription to something else. About three years later the first issue of fist of konshu showed up unexpectedly in my mail, and it continued for a while. I lost touch but I know there were different iterations in to the 2000s. But #189 would be like 16 years, I can not believe there has been a steady run from 2001. Did they just keep the numbering consistent from the 1980s? I really have no idea how the numbering works with series that come and go, but I feel like many of those issues from the 2000s had different title names.

ETA in 2016 there was a moon night #1 for the series restart

Moon Knight received his first ongoing series in 1980, with Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz as its main creative team. The character received a complete origin story, and most of his notable recurring villains were introduced; particularly his arch enemy Bushman. Early sales were good for the book, leading to Marvel, as of issue #15, moving the title from newsstand distribution and making it one of its flagship titles for a group of books only available in comic shops. A companion mini-series was also released, Moon Knight: Special Edition, which reprinted the Hulk and Marvel Preview Moon Knight stories in color and in comic format, as opposed to their original magazine format. Sienkiewicz left the series after issue #30, though continued to contribute covers until the final issue (#38).

In 1985, Marvel followed up the series with Moon Knight – Fist Of Khonshu by Alan Zelenetz and Chris Warner, a six issue mini-series that established Moon Knight as suffering from schizophrenia due to the stress of his various aliases. Moon Knight appeared in Marvel Fanfare for two issues (#30 and #38) and in the pages of West Coast Avengers (#21–41 and Annuals #1–3), with the character written by Steven Englehart.

3. This does help thank you

It looks like the series they started in 2016 ended this year, and when they restarted it last month the retro numbered it 188. So there was a 187, but they must have counted all the different series as issues . The first 2016 was number 1.
