Episode 14: Review of The Goldfish Problem

Welcome to a special edition of the Phases of the Moon Knight podcast.  We have covered almost 300 Moon Knight comics since the start of the year, and have searched out and discussed dozens of spoilers, trailers, articles and rumors about the TV show.  Now, we finally get to put it all together, and actually see what Marvel has in store for us.  

There is a lot to unpack in "The Goldfish Problem" but we have narrowed things down to six topics that we thought were especially interesting. 

SPOILER WARNING: this episode is pretty much nothing but spoilers, so we recommend waiting to listen until you have watched Moon Knight episode one!

Episode 13 

Its our last week living in a world without live-action Moon Knight!  Disney is ramping up its marketing, Dan is hiding from spoilers, and we look at what Moon Knight was up to in the years 2009 to 2012.  We get to talk about how The Sentry is not just Marvel’s version of Superman, see the unlikely return of Raul Bushman, and get to watch Moon Knight once again try to become a team player.

Episode 9

Marc Spector: Moon Knight careens to a deadly finish this week, while Duane gets hit with the full force of 1990s comic craziness.  Moon Knight spends four issues lost in space during the Infinity War event, has a fight to the death with his own car, and finds out that he and Jean-Paul (don't call him Frenchie!) are both descended from ancient families of demons and defenders.  

Dan celebrates Terry Kavanagh's epic story plan, Duane is thrown off by Steven Platt's oh-so-90s art, and we talk a bit about what it meant to be "Bucky dead" in comics. 

The Stack for this week includes:

Marc Spector: Moon Knight Vol. 1, Issues #41 - #60

Marc Spector: Moon Knight Special Edition #1

These comics are not currently available either on Marvel Unlimited or in collected print editions.
