#224 P2 – The Rebirth Of Moon Knight: From 2010 To 2024; Resurrection, Disney+ Series And More Essays With Scott Weatherly

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.

Star Wars: Comics In Canon Special – Ep 1: Hello There, Canon/Legends & The Rise Of Kylo Ren

Hello there! Instead of a standard episode of Genuine Chit-Chat, this week Mike wanted to showcase his new show; Star Wars: Comics In Canon – found on the podcast feed of our friends at Comics In Motion!

This release is both episodes 0 & 1 rolled into one! Episode 0 is where Mike explains what you can expect from SW Comics In Canon going forward along with what “Canon/Legends” in SW is and the timeline of the movies, while episode 1 is about The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic and kyber crystal “bleeding” – this show is for all Star Wars fans; younglings & veterans alike! Whether you’ve consumed all the content (we’d be impressed if you have) or are just a film newbie getting into a galaxy far far away, we’re sure you’ll enjoy this look into the wider Star Wars canon, through the comic-book lens!

Regarding content discussed in Episode 1, for the best listening, ensure you’ve seen The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi, seeing The Rise Of Skywalker is suggested but it’s not essential and there will be no spoilers for it within – this comic series takes place around 6 years before the events of Episode VII: The Force Awakens; so as TFA is 34 ABY, this comic mini-series is around 28 ABY (flashbacks between 18-25 ABY).

The Rise Of Kylo Ren is written by Charles Soule, with Will Sliney as the artist and Guru eFX as the colourist, issue #1 released December 2019 & issue #4 released March 2020.

If anyone has questions about Star Wars or the show in general, send Mike an email at StarWarsComicsInCanon@outlook.com.

Next week will be back to the usual GCC shows, so if you’re not into Star Wars, check in next week!

Chris & Dave of Comics In Motion were on episodes 63 & 75 of Genuine Chit-Chat and Mike was on episodes 75 & 100 of Comics In Motion!

In case you missed it, last week on GCC, Mike was joined by the powerhouse of hosts from the In The Black Podcast, their chat includes a great many topics, including “the talk” (not the birds & the bees) that black parents give to their children, they then discuss black identity, the importance of heritage, black history month, representation in the media, reparations, the future of Black America and much more, so check that out if you haven’t already!
