Moon Knight vs Marvel’s Joker: Moon Knight The Mission (Comics Explained)

[@595moore]

“And no wealthy priest has ever been good.” That line hits so damn hard.

[@franklagoon22]

ITS TOO GOOD!!! Denial of wealth in the name of being a priest who helps

[@danieladusei1993]

Loooool so fucking true ahem to that

[@GraemeGunn]

Why does it "hit so damn hard"? Also, I'm sure that there's some religious people out there who are wealthy and are just normal people.

[@Jay-or5ex]

@@GraemeGunn Yeah. I've seen 2 big churches with a lot of funding and the pastors aren't terrible people. They ask for our money, lmao. They don't rob banks, threaten us, deal drugs, etc. They're normal people. Following God doesn't mean you have to be poor. That's like saying everyone who is financially broke is a "good person".

[@VMRY-ux9qb]

@@GraemeGunn Priests generally take vows to not live grandiosely. So if they've broken those vows, they most likely have forsaken their other morals too is why it hits hard. Also it hits hard because historically figures in organized religion that sought wealth most often did it through malicious and nefarious ways. The original comment however targets Priests because of the "Selling of Indulgences" which is I think the most well known example of a religion financially manipulating its patrons.

[@trevorghalt1881]

The art in this is amazing and his monologue is a 15 out of 10, a 111 out of 100, absolutely perfect

[@KryyssTV]

Slightly off with the facts though, the Jews reject everything said in the Greek scriptures about the conclusion of the Mosaic law with the appearence of their saviour but this writer overlooks the multiple times that the Hebrew scriptures clearly state that the nation abandoned their contract with God. You only get to break a contract once. So yeah, he comes from a persistent people and culture who endured in the face of persecution but that had nothing to do with faith and everything to do with traditions.

[@jameswilliams8916]

A 5 outta 7. A perfect score.

[@forteandblues]

It’s over 9000!!!!

[@dagogothechamp]

This series is great. I love how introspective Moon Knight gets. His inner conflict is just as interesting as the conflicts he has with his villains. So dope

[@franklagoon22]

YES!! The inner conflict is arguably more interesting and that is quite the feat to achieve in character creation. Im in awe of it. You said it perfectly.

[@dartagnanjames8069]

I like Hunter's Moon, and I love the idea of him filling in as a part time Moon Knight when Marc is taken away elsewhere.

[@cosmicdropout8187]

Yeah, Hunter's Moon is legit, love the character

[@toakovika]

Hell, if they came to some sort of mutual 'operating as Khonshu's Fists in tandem/together' dynamic, that could set things up for an awesome supernatural run.

[@dartagnanjames8069]

@@toakovika I just really liked the issue where Marc is gone and he's holding down the Midnight Mission. "Hello, My name is Mr. Moon" like I died at the first page. It's just so cool. I sort of like the idea of him being the "new frenchie" where he helps out in a low key way when Marc is around, and takes over as Moon Knight when Marc isn't around.

[@ssencipe250]

Would not mind more. They're doing fun stuff with Moon Knight right now

[@cosmicdropout8187]

Is a ongoing...the current arc is that good as well

[@jonmorris293]

16:20 Blade being in the book would have been a waste. Badr had more connection and his rescue of Marc was a great payoff to his character introduction arc.

[@karaso0]

Yea I totally agree. Would've been random as hell.

[@cosmicdropout8187]

Agree on this, that's why i absolutly love the character. Issue #8 was a great work on him as well. But, i have to say, Blade on this would be pretty badass

[@refugeehugsforfree4151]

ya blade would make no sense givin the setting.

[@mnsega]

I want to see moon knight fight Mr. Negative just for the comic art style

[@isaiahkayode6526]

Oh Mr Negative would fit right in to Moon Knight's foes

[@mnsega]

@@isaiahkayode6526 a blk n wht comic would be dope

[@douglasbriel6103]

MK has been my favorite since 1980. I related to the repressed anger, and what to do with it. But mostly, every time he gets knocked down or stumbles, he gets back up.

[@jonmorris293]

Would love another volume of MK with Jed Mackay within the next year.

[@imanuelk7200]

I really hope we cover more Moon Knight. Also people often compare Moon Knight and Batman, but I feel the key difference between the two, as shown in the monologue, is that Marc knows why he's insane

[@mu77inman420]

That monologue makes me feel I got the wrong tatt 🥲

[@GraemeGunn]

lol you said "we"

[@gregoriusrex1855]

Batman and Moon Knight are different. There are religious undertones with Moon Knight that arent there with Batman

[@SathishKumar-sk8fe]

Well moon Knight clearly have supernatural powers. This one thing itself is so different from Batman apart all other different things. In DC term Moon Knight is a metahuman and Batman is human who achieved peak human conditioning.

[@antwauneharris6663]

11:54 yep. Why I love Moon Knight

[@pjmorris8826]

I've been watching and listening to you , and comicstorian, for YEARS now. And I just wanted to say I love your content. As a person that doesn't have a lot of time to read the comics like I used to, yall are living my dream and I will continue to support and watch. Keep doing you . ROB CORP for life.

[@thebandwagonfanpodcast]

Loving this run on Moon Knight and how it's exploring the psychological/human aspect of Marc Spector. It makes him a nuanced, and often times, relatable character. Who else is hyped for the show?

[@jonmorris293]

Yes! Tigra! Also, I love the psychiatrist aspects of the MK book. Jed Mackay is one of my favorite Marvel writers

[@cosmicdropout8187]

The rol of Tigra con this arc was really cute. She is a really good friend for Specter

[@chefhomeboyardee2063]

Great writing, amazing art. Great explanations. RESPECT

[@ladariuschaffin2386]

I got chills from the monologue alone I really hope the moon night character in the mcu reflects every bit of it on the screen

[@fornax4676]

I really like the black and white color scheme of Moon Knight. And the white glow around him, plus the tint of green light you can see from his eyes looks really cool as well.

[@cosmicdropout8187]

Great run, famtastic...and Hunter's Moon is pure gold of a character

[@Mephiestopholes]

This story has been so Badass! I can't wait to see where it goes after this.

[@cosmicdropout8187]

[@daniellebaughey675]

Rob pumping out videos like a boss!

[@joshuareeves5103]

Jeez, that monologue is amazing. I really hope they factor that idea into the Disney+ series. That would make such a compelling story!

[@franklagoon22]

That monologue will live in me forever. Denial of the father. Running from the shame. Eventually arriving at the deepest inner pain. Easily one of the most honest moments I've ever read in fiction. Moon Knight is about to rise to heights we have yet to see, and we are all part of that journey. Thanks for everything you do Rob, this all means so much 🌙 😭 🌙

[@armyzenn]

Wow that was extremely deep i hope the live action moon knight touches on some of what mark spoke on in the monologue.

[@saturncrush]

We can only hope. I don’t Marvel to yuck yuck everything they do.

[@DoubleDub23]

Yes needed more of these! You're killing it man, keep'em coming

[@blobofmeatwhoexist8460]

Man the writing on this run is still as great as ever, I do have mixed feeling about the introduction of zodiac, and it seems like a redundant thing, when they just introduced badir who is order to Spector's chaos, so Introducing another character who as far as I know literally have the same intention as badir which is breaking moon knight, kinda weird. Although I still think that it could be done well and especially if they don't make him a joker-esque character.

[@jfoster8624]

I think he's the more uncontrollably chaos unlike hunters moon who's actually trying to help

[@blobofmeatwhoexist8460]

@@jfoster8624 maybe, that's why I reserved my judgment until the story concluded (or rob covering the story conclusion) so that I don't have a half baked opinion, but as of right now I didn't hate nor like zodiac

[@jfoster8624]

@@blobofmeatwhoexist8460 Fair enough I love this run and hope it goes even further

[@blobofmeatwhoexist8460]

@@jfoster8624 yeah, I really like how Jed Mackay (I hope I spell his name right) hits on Marc spector spirituality and the whole thing about religion, I kinda hope that zodiac is this godless man, basically an extreme atheist and an antithesis to badir who is a man of God and with Marc spector in the middle as the guy who is lost

[@cosmicdropout8187]

Yeah, well B'dr Is more like a version of MK with his sh*t together. Zodiac is straight up a psicopath. Hunter's Moon never was a full on villain, his thing was agains vampires. Issue #8 work all that out.
