The big news teased last issue is that Comics Interview is increasing its page count. Dak says now he may finally be able to put all of the features teased in #1 in one single issue. Just taking a quick comparison sample from this and the previous issue the page count has gone from 67 to 83. The amount of full-page ads has seen an increase from 24 to 32 which is a better balance between interviews and ads. There is a four-page ad in this issue which may not always be the case so that number can vary going forward. Lastly taking the two-part Doug Moench interview that started with a...

This article contains spoilers for Loki Season Two.
Forget your Pizza Poppas, and forget your zombie superheroes. Loki season two has already given us the strangest, most unlikely Earth in the multiverse. Yes, the chyron in episode two tells us that Loki and Mobius go to 1977 in the Sacred Timeline. But in that world, a cheesy slasher called Zaniac is a star-studded, big-budget affair. In our world, even a masterpiece like Halloween was greeted with derision by critics of the time.
On the upside, our Earth does have wonderful things like Marvel Comics in the 1980s, when writers like Doug Moench told the kind of weird stories where Thor actually fights the Zaniac. Introduced in Thor #319 (1982), Zaniac was not just a movie monster portrayed by actor Brad Wolfe, but also an evil entity from the Dark Dimension.
The Zaniac of Loki lacks this cosmic evil. Instead, he’s just a character played by Brad Wolfe,...

This post contains spoilers for the second episode of "Loki," Season 2.
Chaos unraveled within the Time Variance Authority (Tva) in the season 2 premiere of "Loki," where the titular variant (played by Tom Hiddleston) found himself torn between various points in time after He Who Remains is killed by Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino). After this Time Slippage issue is resolved, thanks to a trip to a space station-esque nexus called the Temporal Loom, Loki tries his best to convince everyone about the impending doom that awaits every timeline, sacred or branched. This aberration in the flow of events disrupts the very foundation of the Tva, introducing fresh doubts in every Tva "employee," now acutely aware of their variant status.
Some Hunters at the Tva, including B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) and X-5 (Rafael Casal) express their inner turmoil caused by this revelation, stressing that this "changes everything," as every individual used to have...

Marvel is boldly going to revisit one of the most classic eras in the history of sci-fi history -- in comic book form. The publisher has announced a new limited series set within the timeline of the original "Planet of the Apes" films. Specifically, the series will serve as a prequel to the original 1968 classic starring Charlton Heston. That's right! It's prequel time. So get ready for "Beware the Planet of the Apes."
Marc Guggenheim is set to write the comic, with Álvaro López handling the artwork. The series will include familiar characters, such as Cornelius (played by Roddy McDowall in the films) and his wife Zira (played by Kim Hunter). Perhaps most importantly, the woman who we come to know as Nova (played by Linda Harrison) is also involved. A synopsis for the series reads as follows:

There's no time like the present for the God of Mischief to return. "Loki" season 2 will see Loki (Tom Hiddleston) -- that is, the Loki from 2012 who escaped custody in "Avengers: Endgame," only to find himself captured by and then begrudgingly joining forces with the Time Variance Authority (Tva) -- dealing with the fallout of the season 1 finale. As you may recall, that episode ended with the alternate universe, gender-flipped Loki known as Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) killing the eccentric Kang the Conqueror variant He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), throwing all of time and space into chaos.
The trailer for "Loki" season 2 teases much of the multiversal mayhem to come, including a version of Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) who doesn't remember ever meeting Loki (and has a fondness for key lime pie) and Sylvie working at a historical-era McDonald's (you know times are tough when even timeline-hopping aliens need steady employment). However,...

There’s something charmingly accessible about Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo. Talking to them, you never get the feeling that you’re talking to a multimedia titan of geek culture or one of the most beloved Batman artists of all time, respectively. It feels more like running into two guys tailgating outside an Ozzy Osborne show, inviting you to geek out with them about their comic art collection, shooting the breeze about the car they’re working on together, and periodically dropping preternatural draftsmanship wisdom sprinkled with comic art history. And then McFarlane will say something like, “I’m in the business of cool. Period,” and you suddenly remember that you’re talking to two of the biggest names to ever create comics and that they’re teaming up for a fresh Batman Spawn crossover that is likely to be one of the biggest books of the decade.

Coming soon from DC with images unleashed today, two of the biggest characters in comic book history will face off in mashup Batman Spawn from Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo. After staying out of each other’s way for almost 20 years, the Court of Owls steps in to try to use Spawn to beat Batman in the not to be missed comic available on December 13.
“Look, this is really simple. I get to play with one of the greatest comic characters ever (Batman), get to reunite with amazing artist Greg Capullo, And am able to mix in my own creation (Spawn) into the storyline. These are the types of projects many of us creators in the comic industry only get to be a part of a few times in our careers,” said Writer Todd McFarlane.

Enter Bane, a supervillain created by writers Chuck Dixon and Doug Moench, who made his debut in Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 in January 1993. Bane is known for his brute strength and intelligence. He’s often credited as the villain who broke the bat, as the DC villain is the only physical specimen to truly match Batman both

It’s hard to explain Marvel’s Moon Knight on the best of days. The former mercenary-turned-vigilante can mostly be found after dark on the streets of New York City, protecting those who travel by night as the earthly avatar of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. But the man behind the mask, Marc Spector, also has Dissociative Identity Disorder, which means that he can flip between alternate identities like that of ‘Steven Grant’ and ‘Jake Lockley’.
He’s a complex character who now has almost 50 years of comics under his belt. As a result, it can be a bit daunting if you’re looking for a way into his Marvel Comics history and aren’t sure where to start. Luckily, we’re here to help you as much as we can by isolating some of his best offerings to date!

Fresh on the Disney+ marquee is Marvel's "Moon Knight," the latest series to emerge from under the MCU tent. The (until now) mid-tier vigilante hero departs from his onscreen Marvel brethren in several ways, including a refreshing lack of zealous Easter eggs somehow connecting him to the Avengers. But what stands out the most about the series (based on the comics character created by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin) is its singular weirdness, from star Oscar Isaac's goofy accent to the show's horror-adjacent wavelength in its study of a man-mercenary with dissociative identity disorder and a whole lot of repression. After all, who...

When it comes to throwing in Easter eggs to get people talking, there’s nothing easier for a superhero movie or show than quickly revealing a list of names. Whether it’s a list of mutant filenames on a computer screen in X-Men 2 or Bucky Barnes’ list of people to get closure from in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it’s an easy way to throw out some references or even hint at future appearances. The first episode of Moon Knight is a little more blatant about its name dropping.
As Oscar Isaac’s Steven Grant starts to slowly uncover the truth about his rampant blackouts, he discovers a hidden compartment in his home. There, he sees a very dated Motorola Razr. There are a ton of missed calls, all coming from “Layla,” except one noticeably labeled “Duchamp.

Midway through the second episode of Disney+’s new Marvel series Moon Knight, mercenary Marc Spector has a heart-to-heart conversation with museum gift shop clerk Steven Grant. This is complicated by the fact that Marc and Steven are two different personalities — both played by Oscar Isaac — of the same man, created by the mental illness known as disassociative identity disorder. Marc lays out the whole Moon Knight premise to Steven, explaining that he serves as the avatar of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, protecting the vulnerable and delivering justice on Khonshu’s behalf.

A new chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is beginning with the arrival of Moon Knight, a show (and indeed a superhero) unlike any other. The series is the first Marvel project to arrive on the small screen since the Jeremy Renner-starring Hawkeye bowed last December, and it certainly looks like it will be one to watch for MCU fans and newbies alike.
Moon Knight is only the first of many new Phase 4 releases planned for 2022. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will hit theaters in May, Ms. Marvel will debut on Disney+ in June, Thor: Love and Thunder is heading for a July opening, and we should also see the likes of She-Hulk and What If…?

As nearly everyone on the internet has noted, the English accent Oscar Isaac adopts in the upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight has no basis in the real universe. But you may be surprised to learn that it has no basis in the Marvel Comics universe, either. The choice to play Steven Grant, one of Moon Knight’s alter-egos, as a nervous Brit with an unusual accent came entirely from Isaac himself.
“It wasn’t necessarily written that way at all,” Isaac admits in an interview with Radio Times. But when the actor took the idea to Marvel boss Kevin Feige, he got an enthusiastic green light.
For comic fans, Isaac’s performance changes more than Steven Grant’s voice. One of four personalities vying for control in the mind of former mercenary Marc Spector, Steven Grant is a suave American millionaire in the mold of Bruce Wayne. In fact, up through the early 90s,...

The latest teaser for Marvel’s Moon Knight has plenty of exciting action shots and hints of mystery. We get to see Oscar Isaac playing both desert-bound mercenary Marc Spector and timid English shopkeeper Steven Grant, but you may have noticed that the show seems a little scarier than your average MCU offering!
Not only does Ethan Hawke’s cult leader Arthur Harrow give off creepy vibes, but the teaser is filled with jump scares. There’s even a menacing, skeletal creature sure to be the Egyptian god Khonshu, who resurrects Spector and makes him his earthly agent.
Really, the tone shouldn’t be too much of a surprise because Moon Knight has his roots in horror. The character first appeared in Werewolf by Night #32 (1975) as a bounty hunter sent to capture the lycanthropic Jack T. Russell.

August of 2019 seems like a lifetime ago but it was then that audiences first heard that the new Disney+ streaming service would be home to a host of original television shows boasting their favorite Marvel characters. In front of an enthusiastic audience at the D23 Expo that year, alongside the likes of “WandaVision” and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” it was announced that Disney+ would premiere “Moon Knight.”
Because of the pandemic, the show struggled to get moving before Oscar Isaac was announced to play Marc Spector, the man who becomes Moon Knight. Isaac is no stranger to the Disney world, having played Poe Dameron in three of Disney’s recent “Star Wars” movies and makes his Marvel debut with the show. “Moon Knight” comes from Mohamed Diab and “The Endless” and “Synchronic” filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.

Ordinarily, attributing authorship of superhero comic book characters (i.e. which writers and artists created them) is relatively simple. For example, the character of Marc Spector — the white-clad quasi-mystic vigilante Moon Knight — made his debut in 1975's "Werewolf by Night" #32 by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin. However, the characters of Steven Grant and Jake Lockley weren't introduced until 1980's "Moon Knight" (Vol. 1) #1 by writer Doug Moench (again) and artist Bill Sienkiewicz, even though both characters are also Moon Knight. While the character first donned his...

Get ready to meet the many, many sides of Marc Spector.
During the Super Bowl, Marvel Studios unveiled the second trailer for “Moon Knight,” the Oscar Isaac-starring limited series premiering March 30 on Disney Plus.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe series stars Isaac as Moon Knight, a character first created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin in 1975 for the comic series “Werewolf by Knight.” In most depictions of the character, Moon Knight is the secret identity of Marc Spector, a former CIA operative turned mercenary who dies during a job in Sudan but is revived and turned into the conduit of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, becoming a Batman-esque vigilante. One of the character’s most notable traits is his dissociative identity disorder, which manifests in several distinct personas with defined personalities.

Moon Knight is one of those characters that you always feel should be bigger than he is. Cool visuals, unique character set up and modus operandi, some great creative people working on him down the years, and yet he just can’t get over that second banana hump he is stuck behind. He’s had brief moments to shine, although for me nothing beats the incredible Doug Moench/ Bill Sienkiewicz run of the early eighties, the entire run of which I still own. I think his problem is that if anything he’s too adaptable. Want to write him as a street crime fighter? No problem. An ultra violent, unbalanced anti-hero? Yep, that works. A conventional superhero in a hero group? Yep, can do that too. A character steeped in mythology and legacy? No problem. Moon Knight, ironically...

Oscar Isaac will officially star in Marvel and Disney+’s Moon Knight series as the Star Wars actor confirmed his casting on Thursday.
In a tweet posted to the official Marvel Studios account, Isaac posed in front of enlarged panels from the Moon Knight comic series, setting his involvement in stone.

Deadline previously learned about the actor’s casting for the series back in October, upon hearing that he was in negotiations to star in the titular role. Jeremy Slater, behind Netflix’s series adaptation of The Umbrella Academy comic books, has been tapped to develop and lead the writing team on the series for the Disney streaming platform.

With the imminent release of the upcoming Shang-Chi movie, I was expecting to see a lot of ‘push’ on the character, and I wasn’t wrong. For me, the Shang-Chi I know and love was the one from the late 1970’s/ early 1980’s. He was originally created by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin in 1973, to take advantage of the current martial arts craze then, and taken to near perfection by Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy. He started life as the unknown son of Fu Manchu, but when Marvel lost the licence to Fu all that was swiftly swept aside, with vague references to imposters and resurrected replacements. What’s important, though, is that Shang-Chi was such a strong character, developed and written and drawn by such good creators, that he outlasted both the craze that spawned him...

Moon Knight, a.k.a. Marc Spector, was created by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin and made his Marvel Comics debut in the August 1975 issue of Werewolf by Night. The son of a rabbi, a former CIA agent and mercenary, Spector is betrayed by an employer and left for dead near an archaeological dig, where he is approached by the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. The supernatual being offers the dying Spector a second chance at life if he becomes Khonshu’s avatar on Earth, investing him with superhuman abilities.

Oscar Isaac is in talks to play Marc Spector, the lead superhero on upcoming Disney Plus show “Moon Knight,” according to an individual with knowledge of the project.
Moon Knight is a fascinating character, because while on the surface he comes off like Marvel’s attempt to rip off Batman, his powers are actually magical, weird mystical abilities tied either to an ancient Egyptian god and the moon — or to his fractured psyche. More on that in a moment.
Created by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin in 1975, Moon Knight debuted in Marvel’s “Werewolf by Night,” where he’s introduced hunting the title character before teaming up with him instead (the two have generally been allies ever since). Moon Knight’s story goes like this: his real name is Marc Spector, and he’s the Jewish son of a rabbi who fled to the United States from Czechoslovakia during World War II.

We’ve recently heard about Warner Bros.’ plans to produce Elseworlds-inspired limited series for HBO Max, including Batman: Gotham by Gaslight and Batman: White Knight. And according to our sources, the same ones who told us Ahsoka Tano will cameo on The Mandalorian season 2 and Han is coming back for Fast & Furious 9 – another one of these projects is Batman vs. Dracula. While things are only at an early stage of development, we know that these series will be set outside the Dceu and will feature different actors for Batman and other characters than their current incarnations.
The original Batman & Dracula Elseworlds limited runs were popular enough in the 1990s to merit three separate collections. Written by Doug Moench with pencils by Kelley Jones, the series sees the Dark Knight become a vampire in order to take on Count Dracula, who’s set up shop in Gotham City. However, Batman...

Friday evening’s Disney+ panel at the D23 Expo was wild, with new shows and movies introduced left and right — including no fewer than three new Marvel shows, all of which will take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But while “Ms. Marvel” and “She-Hulk” might grab the biggest attention from McU fans, the most immediately intriguing announcement, at least to us, was “Moon Knight.”
No disrespect to Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk as characters, of course — but they are logical choices to add to the McU. Moon Knight, on the other hand, is a super weird character and what his place might be in the greater McU isn’t clear at all. But this sort of oddball choice has worked out pretty well in the past for Marvel. Just look at Ant-Man, who was a similarly strange choice of headliner when his movie was announced years ago.
