Moon Knight Season 1 Recap 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.   So today we will talk about all six episodes.  Moon Knight really has been everything that I could have asked for.  It has characters we care about, interesting locations, drama, laughs and spectacle.  More than that through this entire series has featured a weirdness, a vertigo-inducing sense that something just isn't entirely right.  There's a lot to unpack here.  This week we discuss, in no particular order: Review what's made - not what we expected, Listener emails, violence as story and plot, Was this REALLY Moon Knight? And the Adventures of the Scarlett Scarab.  SPOILER WARNING: this episode is pretty much nothing but spoilers, so we recommend waiting to listen until you have watched Moon Knight episode six! Topics Reviewing what they made, not what we expected Listener emails Link to Leyna's DID pages: https://itkmoonknight.com/all-in-your-head/ Violence as Story and Plot Was this REALLY Moon Knight?

Episode 06 The Sage of Arthur Harrow About a year after the end of Moon Knight Vol. 1. our hero got a second chance to headline his own series.  Moon Knight Volume 2 from 1985 changes the character's powers and costume, and radically alters his world.  The second issue of the series is also the first - and so far the only - appearance of Dr. Arthur Harrow.  With Harrow set to be a major character in the Moon Knight Disney+ show, Dan and Duane give you a better idea of what clues these comics may hold for the show. We also talk about what breakdowns and finishes are, we look at a few issues of Marvel Fanfare that featured Moon Knight, and Dan begins to suspect that Disney perhaps is not being entirely truthful with us about Ethan Hawke's character... The Stack for this week includes: Moon Knight Vol. 2, Issues #1-6 Marvel Fanfare #30, 38 and 39 Sadly, these comics are not currently available either on Marvel Unlimited or in collected print editions.   Questions or comments We'd love to hear from you!  Email us at questions@phasesofthemoonknight.com or find us on Twitter @phasesofmk.
