The 20th Century Geek’s deep dive into Moon Knight’s entire history (as of early 2024) continues, including numerous comic runs, the Disney+ series and the Moon Knight essay book; Waxing And Waning: Essays On Moon Knight, which Scott edited & contributed to!
This release is part 2, where the duo’s conversation continues with Warren Ellis’ 6 issues of Moon Knight from 2014 and Lemire’s 2016 run. Mike & Scott then talk about the “phases” of Moon Knight and how the Disney+ show takes elements from this era. Scott then provides his theory on why (in-universe) Moon Knight/Marc Spector changes so much, before delving into MK’s latest run by Jed Mackay and Scott’s thoughts on the future of Moon Knight!
In case you missed last week, part 1 of their conversation started with Scott confirming when he first experienced Moon Knight and why he is so interested by the character, as well as why he wanted to release an essay book on the character. The duo then delve into Moon Knight’s full history, while referencing several essays within Waxing And Waning, starting with his 1975 debut and 1980 solo comic run, before delving into the “edgy” 2006 Huston/Benson run and some of the runs along the way, before speaking about the Brian Michael Bendis run.
