I think it'll probably just flesh out Kylo's rise to master of the Knights of Ren(before TFA), and perhaps his rise as Supreme Leader of the FO(between TLJ and RoS)... Hopefully it will give us a bit of backstory on the other Knights as well.
If we see anything about Kylo's time as a Jedi, it will likely just be in brief flashback sequences or w/e.

Btw, are the knights of Ren made up of the other Jedi who joined Kylo the night of the massacre? Or are they some other force users who Snoke recruited before Kylo’s change of side?

Yeah, it's weird. Everything I've seen so far makes it seem like the Knights of Ren(and their weaponry) were just sort of cobbled together -- they look pretty ragtag. Here's another recent example: https://i.imgur.com/sRpJQIP.jpg
I guess I just expected them to be a little more... I dunno.... elite looking? It's a small gripe, though... I just want them to be badass.

I'm kinda seeing some problems, for one that weapon is really short. Unless the blade is able to extend out, then the Knight would have to get in dangerously close just to attack.
Which the clothing attire, it doesn't really strike me as protective.
No, I certainly agree. It makes sense for them to have cobbled together equipment when they first started, but once Kylo Ren became a high ranked official within the FO he should have been able to get his groupies some better equipment. It's just another example of the lack of cohesive world building within the sequels. Sure, it looks cool but there should be more thought to it then merely that.
Anyway, I'm actually looking froward to this. It's the first time in a long while since I've looked forward to a SW comic. I've been interested in these guys ever since they first showed up in that TFA trailer and was pissed when they only appeared in a vision.

Soule recently spoke about the comic on a Fan Expo Toronto panel, explaining the timeline and topic it'll cover.
"You know, Ben Solo is tragic," Soule said. "The potential of him from the day he was born, everyone around him saw or thought they saw what he could be. So he was put in all these different paths, and we've kind of seen how that's gone wrong in the films so far. This is a story about Ben Solo, understanding some of the choices he made."
From the betrayal, to the aftermath, to his training from Supreme Leader Snoke, Kylo's journey will be completely informed by his ending. That's because Soule got notes from the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker team about how things shake out for Ben--for better or worse.

According to the cover/solicits for issue #2, Luke and Ben will actually be shown fighting the Knights of Ren in a flashback... Which is something I didn't expect to see:
*I'm guessing the Knight who's holding the red lightsaber is their previous Master. Ben will ultimately kill him and become the new "Master of the Knights of Ren".
