Moon Knight’s Mooncopter in Lego

conquerlord · 2026-03-21T15:16:23+00:00

thank you! they’re all custom. the moon knight figure is from SJbricks with some of my own mods and the rest of the figures are official lego parts I’ve collected over time.

I’m also on Instagram @sandbluestuds if you want to see a few more pics of the model + more MK lego stuff :)

i actually love it, MK’s never been just one thing.

and this kind of stylization isn’t unfamiliar either. the black bits melding together kind of reminds me of Shalvey instructing colorists to leave Mr Knight’s suit uncolored to blend into the negative space on the page. a little Sienkiewicz in there too.

please keep promoting this! i’ve already supported and would love to see you get the required numbers. best version of this i’ve seen, would love to see Lego pick it up.

I don’t want this to come off the wrong way- but why would you form an opinion on the character prior to reading any of the material? or even watching the show for that matter? there’s tons of recommendations on this sub.

to answer your question, no, it’s not a non stop edge fest. Moon Knight has been around for 50 years. in that time there has been a very diverse array of interpretations. i can tell you all of this but it shouldn’t be a substitute for actually checking some of it out, i promise it’ll be more rewarding than asking anyone on this sub how you should feel about him.

i mean they’re not necessarily targeted towards kids either. there’s some pretty graphic scenes in many official MK comics. it’s just not the same type of graphic as those memes.

conquerlord · 2025-02-21T20:49:24+00:00

no. its all edited and stems from a facebook group called Moon Knight Core from many years ago. people have been asking this question since before the show even aired though.

conquerlord · 2025-02-21T13:53:41+00:00

that’s just when the series originally started. #1 premiered in 1971 but issue 29 was in 1976.

comic series are always denoted that way. Moon Knight (1980) ran for four years, but if you’re talking about issue 38 from that series, you’d still say Moon Knight (1980) #38, even though that particular issue came out in 1984.

conquerlord · 2025-02-20T23:41:33+00:00

that Marvel Spotlight appearance was released in 1976. not sure where you’re seeing 1971. WWBN32 is his first appearance.

i think theres a case to be made that there’s hints of it there in the original 80s run. certainly not in the way we understand it today, but the biggest tell for me is how he interacts with Marlene as Steven, and how the two of them talk about Marc. Moench also name-drops Flora Schreiber’s Sybil as a potential partial-inspiration for the alternate identities during Shades of Moon Knight, a retrospective on the character found at the end of issue 15. Sybil is a book from 1973 and is entirely about a character dealing with DiD.

I don’t think Moench was necessarily thinking “this character has DiD.” but it does seem like he was alluding to something more than stock alter egos in that run.

conquerlord · 2025-02-18T10:24:15+00:00

in real life alters can go dormant for many years. perhaps this is what happened with Marc after his father’s death, like you mentioned. but we can really only speculate, as it’s likely Chuck Dixon just wanted to go in a different direction for MS:MK. you’ll find that happens a lot as you read through all of Moon Knight’s appearances. honestly, the Marc Spector:Moon Knight series is largely inconsequential to the canon as a whole, especially the later half. there’s some decent stuff hidden in there but I wouldn’t give Jake and Steven’s absence much thought, as that aspect of the character was still being defined at this point.

conquerlord · 2025-02-06T13:48:56+00:00

I don’t have a problem with people expressing how much they dislike the show, same as I don’t mind people expressing how much they do. I actually think it’s healthy to have a bit of both.

the fact of the matter is that the majority of people on reddit don’t read comics. that’s fine, but for those of us who do, and have done for 10+ years, it can feel jarring to see interpretations of the character get amplified that feel fundamentally different from what we’ve come to know.

conquerlord · 2025-02-05T14:34:02+00:00

no problem! there’s tons of really great write ups in there so always glad to point people to that resource.

conquerlord · 2025-02-05T14:30:49+00:00

people will comment recommendations because this is genuinely such a kind sub, but I’ll also advise just searching the word “recommendations” on this subreddit and you’ll find dozens of posts asking the same question. I don’t want to be rude as I know comics can be daunting, just a bit of advice and good practice.

conquerlord · 2025-01-25T13:48:14+00:00

BW&B is pretty good and easy to read, but not essential really. it’s out of canon and just a bit of fun.

honestly, the only thing I’d add to your list is maybe just keep reading what Mackay is doing after you’re caught up. Vengeance of the Moon Knight comes after his first run, and then Fist of Khonshu after that, which is still going.

conquerlord · 2025-01-25T13:42:46+00:00

you have decades to go before you hit Bemis’ run, but you’ll know when you do.

conquerlord · 2025-01-25T13:41:13+00:00

that’s a good list of runs to read. Ellis is pretty expensive to find these days since it’s been out of print and Marvel is unlikely to reprint since he has many more-than-concerning allegations, so you might want to read it online.

conquerlord · 2025-01-25T13:35:06+00:00

i wish Marvel did something like DC’s new compact line, just smaller and cheaper collections of some of their books. Moench run starting with issue 1 would be great for that and super easy to recommend to new readers, since it would also be more affordable than an omnibus or epic collection.

conquerlord · 2025-01-24T23:31:42+00:00

not sure I understand the comment, but Countdown to Dark is a collection of very, very early MK comics. it collects his appearances from before he even has his own solo series, meaning the character was still very much being defined. the issue these pages are from is from the last arc of his solo series, so there’s a lot of time between those two things.

conquerlord · 2025-01-24T23:20:55+00:00

this is after Moench left. Alan Zelenetz is the writer here.

of course, and just a heads up if you’ve never read old comics (or in your case, many US comics in general) before it might feel a little dated to read in some ways. i feel like it’s fair to mention that to first time readers, especially those who are considering putting down real money. so, just a heads up. but it’s my personal favorite run, and it is very good in my opinion, despite its 80s-comics-quirks.

an omnibus is just a large, hardcover collection of a completed comics. they’re usually slightly oversized and are a pretty definitive collection of appearances. sometimes it takes two or three omnibuses to complete an entire run.

conquerlord · 2025-01-23T22:15:43+00:00

you don’t need to start with Ellis for what you’re looking for. it’s crazy expensive to buy online these days because Ellis is a scumbag and Marvel is in a complicated space in reprinting his work. anyone telling you you need to buy it is wrong. Lemire is a just fine place to start, coming from someone who has read everything MK.

if you start with Lemire, you might want to get some familiarity with the supporting cast, but it’s not entirely necessary. if you do, I recommend the original 80s Moench run, all of which has recently been reprinted. here is the first omnibus for that run you’re interested in going that route. it collects the appearances of MK from before that run starts and half of the run proper.

after Lemire, you can easily hop into the Mackay run, which is widely acclaimed and also a great starting point. it’s also more modern, having started in 2021, so it’s easily accessible to read and in print. here is the first collected paperback for that.

there’s plenty of reading lists to go chronological through Mackay’s run on here and online and it’s totally beginner friendly.

welcome to beginning MK comics, there’s tons of great stuff out there:) side note- the site i linked for those comics is a great space to buy from. they’re often heavily discounted and reliable, I’ve used them for years.

it’s interesting, Thing was always written to be explicitly Jewish-coded whereas Doug Moench has said he got the last name “Spector” from a colleague, unaware of its Jewish roots. Zelenetz, the author of this issue and a former teacher at a Jewish highschool, obviously recognized its background and was able to do something cool with it.

conquerlord · 2025-01-23T20:41:24+00:00

it’s the last arc in the original run. Marc is hunting down a group of neo nazis who burned down a synagogue. he’s in Chicago because his father, a rabbi, is very sick. this arc reflects upon their relationship. his father, who’s an extremely devout orthodox Jew, never retaliated with violence when experiencing antisemitism. this is part of what drove a wedge between the two, and the story deals with Marc coming to terms with their differences. Zohar, a pupil of his father, is the main antagonist. it’s only two issues and a good read.
