The Comics Canon

Episode 157 – The Moon Knight Episode


Listen Later

Today marks the debut of the new Moon Knight series on Disney+, and to mark the occasion, we're diving into the career of everyone's favorite multiple-personality Avenger with a look at a few different eras of Moon Knight comics, published by Marvel Comics. First, we review 1980's Moon Knight #1 Doug Moench and Bill Sinkiewicz, followed by a two-part team-up with the Werewolf By Night in Moon Knight #29-30! Then it's a look at 2011's 12-issue run by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev, and we wrap up with the mysterious Mr. Knight as depicted by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey.

Join us as we ask the burning questions: Why hasn't the Fist of Khonshu broken into the A-list of Marvel heroes? And can any of these stories break into that subterranean tomb of the comic-book gods known as ... The Comics Canon?
