Welcome Dear Loonies!
Well, my golly golly gosh! What a week it has been!
As some of you are well aware, we released our 100th episode on ITK and revealed all our little surprises for all our listeners.
I'll be taking a break from recording this week, to rejuvenate after such an epic episode, but I'll be using that time wisely - I'm hoping to write more on our newly featured serial, and I may be dropping a line to some friends of the show to see if we can tee up an appearance on a LUNAR-PICK, ISLA RA or SPOTLIGHT in the phases of the Moon to come!
In my absence, the other two High Priests Connorshu and Rebecca MAY drop something for this week, so I can't tell you what it will be on, but whatever it is, I'm sure it will be entertaining!
(As heard on our previous episode - the fact that Khonshu has lost his Sceptre, has interefered with our show's scheduling and format...so anything goes!)
So there could well be an episode this weekend - or there could well not...please just keep an eye out on your podcatcher for any updates to your ITK subscription!
Anyhoo!! -
I thought I'd take this opportunity as well to reflect a bit on our 100th episode and give you a bit more insight into how it all got put together. Needless to say, I'm as proud as can be in the 100th episode - it's certainly the most ambitious one yet and it's length also reflects the desire we had to try and give you as memorable episode as we possibly could!
First and foremost, want to say how much of an honour it was to be able to chat to Doug Moench, Greg Smallwood and JM DeMatteis!
I can't believe that the expectations we set ourselves for the 100th episode was not only met but exceeded! I had thrown a wide net out there to many of the Moon Knight Alumni, and am forever grateful that Doug, Greg and JM were so gracious as to respond and give their time for our humble little show.
The interview with JM was the last one we conducted and I again was blessed to have had Anthony from Capes on the Couch join me in chatting with JM. Anthony (as previously mentioned is an Omega Level Loony) is a HUGE JM fam and his favourite run of Moon Knight is the Scarlet Redemption. Having missed out on our review of the arc, I thought it only fair that he join me in chatting with Mr. DeMatteis and we all had a really good time!
I seriously could have chatted with JM and Anthony for another hour or so, but you can most likely hear in the background, my own little Loony, Finn, crying...! Both JM and Anthony were very accommodating with this and they professionally carried on, which I totally admire. If you've heard the interview, I strongly recommend picking up JM DeMatteis' 'Moonshadow - Definitive Edition'...it looks bloody good! Also, if you are in the area, consider JM DeMatteis' writing workshop or consultation from Imagination 101 or Creative point...
The interview with Greg Smallwood was the first interview I got on tape, and it was actually during the move we made from one apartment to another in the same building. I recorded it in the empty living room of our old apartment (you can kinda hear the echo) and as a little behind-the-scenes, both Greg and I had MASSIVE gremlins in our Skype! The interview itself is made up of at least 4-5 separate recordings, and a fair bit of editing, as we'd have to stop the chat, and pick up again once Skype reconnected..thankfully I'm glad it didn't effect the final result and the chat was very relaxed and so much fun to do. Greg is most certainly a night owl, so this time it was the wee hours of the night for him and around mid-morning for me....
In stark contrast, the chat I had with Doug had me in all sorts! Although Doug was very apologetic for the time I had to wake up for the chat (4am!), I reassured him that it was only a small bit of effort to be able to get to chat with such a huge creator, so in reality it was no problem at all. To add to that, I also had a vicious cold and was coming off a week of being beaten down with a virus, so it is a very scratchy voice you can hear during the chat, but again after warming up to it, it was such an entertaining talk with THE guy that created THE character that we all know and love. I guess I didn't really know what to expect with Doug Moench. I didn't know what type of person he was and I'd listened to some of his interviews on other podcasts and read some articles in which he featured, but I got to say the only word I can describe Doug is, 'funky'. He has such a vibrant personality it's hard not to be affected by it, and so when he started telling me about his early days in the Marvel office, and his early jobs where he got to write at the dead of night...or when we got to hang around with The Who and Jimi Hendrix....well, ...that stuff is just gold!
Another MAJOR factor that made this show so special was the selfless contribution made by good mate, Wayne Hunt. Wayne isn't only one of the coolest and kindest blokes I know, but he's also generous to a fault. It's because of Wayne that we managed to not only elevate our 50th episode, by giving us great art (who can forget Conquer Lord giving Moon Knight a suplex??), but we also managed to make our 100th episode extra special by providing not one, but two original artworks! Wayne messaged me and said he felt inspired to creat something for our episode, ...and who am I to stop him? :)
It wasn't long before he sent over the drafts and I was just in awe at the beauty (the first artwork) and the pop comedic aspects (the second one) of his work -
So a huge thank you Wayne for being our 'face' of the episode!
Not only that, but Wayne also messaged me with a surprise that rivalled his artwork - he said that he bought some comics that could be used a prize giveaways for the show! Again, I was gob-smacked by this and it just seemed that all the pieces for the show were coming together...we'd never conducted a giveaway before, and so we had heaps of fun thinking of ways to make it a competition and to figure out whether it should be announced on the 100th, or whether the winners be announced on the 100th.
As a little side note, you'll kinda hear that in our ITK Serial - 'The Hunt for Khonshu's Golden Sceptre' - there are 'clues' dropped in the serial. The idea was to have them as clues for Loonies to pick up on, when the competition was ANNOUNCED on the 100th episode. In the end, I couldn't wait any longer, so decided to announce the competition beforehand, and have the WINNERS announced on the 100th...small detail, but yeah...just in case anyone picked that up...!:P
Segue-ing straight into the ITK Serial....
Ahem...yes, this is something we thought we'd test on the show and see what sort of a response we'd get. From our end, I'm speaking on behalf of everyone involved, but I thought we all had a blast doing it! It's all tongue in cheek, and I believe most of us are fans of that Wolverine 'Long Night' serial, so why not try our own?
I'm pretty excited to try and write this thing, but as mentioned on the show, it's also an open invitation to get more Loonies involved - do you write as well? Would you be keen to take 'The Hunt for Khonshu's Golden Sceptre' further? Or do you like to have a go at acting? Either way, it would be great to drop us a line and let us know what you would be keen to do...we can either write you into an episode, or discuss what you'd want to write for the serial, and where you want to take it...it's a huge sandbox, Loonies - and we want everyone (who's keen to) to play!
So a huge thank you to the High Priests Connor and Rebecca, The Power of Chad, Dustin 'Cold Case' Kurtz, Josh 'Geronimo' Johnson and Tommy 'The Man on the Streets' for indulging this madcap Loony to bring the serial to life...!
Let us know what you thought of the episode and the interviews, serial, competition, Dear Khonshus etc...if you liked them, or would like to see something else on the show...we're more than happy to respond! You can catch us on any of these platforms -
#ITKMoonKnight 2019 Fantasy Comic League - June, Week 1
The current season of #FantasyComicLeague continues on in the month of June, Loonies, and we've got an update on the new drafts that your team members (Connorshu, Dustin, Chad, Tommy and Rey) have chosen for the new month.
The first week has already come and gone, and the points have been scored for each of the characters. Below you can see the current scorecards for each of the team members. Still early days yet, and anything can happen again during the month -
Tommy made a late charge and came in at second place, followed by me (Rey), 'Cold Case' Kurtz, and The Power of Chad rounding off the group -
High Priest of Khonshu, Reynaldo Gesmundo
Due to the results in May, I've been allowed to retain two of my previous players and so I've chosen to stick with Deadpool and Captain America. Those guys seem to be rather consistent - I just hope I chose the right powers for them. I've gone for two other big names in Iron Man and the Hulk. They don't necessarily translate into big points, but after perusing this month's comics, they're in with a chance...
Dustin 'Cold Case' Kurtz
Dustin was allowed to retain up to three of his players, and he's made full use of that option by retaining the supernatural/mystical titans of Blade, Doctor Strange and Ghost Rider. Dustin's also picked up a MASSIVE draw with Wolverine this time - an opportunity which arose due to last month's winner, Connorshu, not allowed to retain any of his players...
Tommy 'The Man on the Streets' Kawel
Tommy starts off solid again with a pretty decent pack of characters. Retaining only Venom, Tommy has managed to pick up Punisher and Daredevil, both of whom performed very well last month. Let's see how they go this month, but expect Tommy to shoot up the ladder!
High Priest of Khonshu, Connorshu Stephens
Poor Connorshu has had it tough for the month following May - he's had to relinquish ALL his players (due to being top of the table last month), and a busy schedule has seen him miss out on the drafting deadline...giving him two auto-drafts in Silver Surfer and Doctor Voodoo! Still, I imagine Captain Marvel will give him many points, but the new Silver Surfer title (and the Guardians of the Galaxy) may give Connorshu the boost he needs to return to the top!
'The Power of' Chad Jernigan
Our maverick, Chad had the opportunity to change his whole team, but sticking with his favourite characters has confirmed an identical team to last month. You never know with this sort of thing - although Chad rounded off the ladder last month, this month his players may yield even more points - it only really depends on how they are written for the books this month...so there's the very possibility that Chad may surprise all the others and climb up that ladder!
Well, that about wraps it, Loonies for this newsletter - a bit of a long one, but a great chance to reflect on our milestone just past...as well as give you an update on our Fantasy Comic League progress!
Thanks once again for reading this newsletter and listening to our podcast! Spread the word of Khonshu and Moon Knight if you can...would be great to interact and hear from new fans (and old ones who've only just recently come across our community!)
Keep watching that night sky, and keep tuning in!!
May Khonshu Watch Over the Denizens of the (K)Night,

EPISODE 100:
We are here, Loonies - we made it to the triple digits!
This episode is a MASSIVE celebration for the journey we have taken so far, and it's also a love letter to all you Loonies out there!
The Spoiler Embargo is still in effect (we'll drop it after a few days of release of the episode), so there aren't any reveals of the TITANIC surprises we have in store!
All we can divulge is that this episode is our longest yet - so we do suggest you take it in chunks - and you'll just have to wait and hear what this episode contains!!
SHOW NOTES:
SPECTOR-CALL (SHOUT-OUTS):
A huge thank you to Mr. JM DeMatteis for joining us on the show:
A massive thank you to Mr. Greg Smallwood for giving up his time for the show:
A colossal thank you to Mr. Doug Moench for giving up his time for the show:
A GIANT thank you to the Loony Community - you peeps have made the journey so far so enjoyable. A huge bit of Khonshu love to you all!

OMG, Loonies! O.M.G!!!!
Am still pinching myself but I can't believe we are approaching our 100th episode! Everyone here at the satellite ITK Ranch (Satellite...get it?... get i-..ahh!, I'm terrible! :P) is super excited, and boy oh boy, we pull out ALL the stops for the beloved Loonies out there who have stuck with us or have joined the ranks recently!
As you can see in the header above, we have a BEAUTIFUL piece of original art work supplied by one of the communities controversial Loonies, Wayne! Some of you may have heard Wayne on the show and Wayne is one to not short change his views (which is why we love him!) but he's also a man of many, many talents. As you can see from the awesome watercolours above, Wayne is a true artist in his own right - but if you think this is all he's done, then think again!!
Wayne has so graciously donated three Moony prize packs for our first ever competition on the podcast! The packs include some nifty Moon Knight comics as well as some of Wayne's art, so it's something not to sneeze at!
We'll be announcing the three winners on the 100th episode coming up, and all you need to do is email us your name and postal address, along with the answer to the following question -
"What material is Moon Knight's armour made out of, in the Vengeance of the Moon Knight run?"
You can contact us on any of the platforms as shown below, but for the competition, just drop us an email on itkmoonknight@gmail.com for a chance to win!! It's exciting to be able to offer prizes on the show and we can't thank Wayne enough for all his generosity!
So what else can we expect on the 100th episode celebrations?
We have a few 'Dear Khonshus..' which will be fun to hear throughout the show. These are basically thoughts or questions sent in by Loonies of which they'd want to ask the big Bird Skull himself...and who knows?..He might just respond!
There are also some very thoughtful wishes from friends of the show and fellow Collective members...! A big pre-emptive shoutout to you guys! We love you guys too and always get the warm and fuzzies when the love for podcasting from the podcasting community (and those that listen!) are shared!
Apart from that Loonies, I've got to keep these other segments close to my chest, but let's just say the format is very different (so just roll with it) and there will be a handful of special guests on for interviews which I hope will get you all SPECTOR-lating now! I can't stress enough that this will be a big one, so be sure to tune in and give it a listen!
No doubt the cat will be out of the bag in the episode description when it drops, but it'll be fun to keep it a secret until then at least...
I'm not sure if we'll eclipse the length of the giant episode 99 which just came out this week (i.e the ISLA RA chat with awesome Loony, Midkine!), but the 100th episode will indeed be a large episode, so make sure you make some time to nestle into a good chair and come along for the aural ride of your lives!
#ITKMoonKnight 2019 Fantasy Comic League - May Results
With May concluding, we get the first result of our community's effort amongst the Fantasy Comic League!
First of all, though, a huge congrats to Connorshu for taking out the bragging rights for our division with a well earned top score!
Tommy made a late charge and came in at second place, followed by me (Rey), 'Cold Case' Kurtz, and The Power of Chad rounding off the group -
For our maiden season, our progress against the other divisions has been modest...but with three months to go, there's every chance we can climb that ladder!!
#Midtown, 393 (with Spidey as an active hero to choose)
#Asgard, 357 (w/ Spider-man ban, i.e not eligible to choose as a hero)
#RedRoom, 348 (with Spidey as an active hero to choose)
#ITKMoonKnight, 343 (w/ Spider-man ban, i.e not eligible to choose as a hero)
It would be interesting to know how many points Spidey boosts those divisions who have chosen to make Spidey a pickable character. In any case, it shows #Asgard and #Midtown as the heavy contenders! We'll get them yet!!
Anyway, better get this little sucker off to the press - very exciting weekend ahead, I hope you can join us! And please do spread the word...hopefully our Loony Army can grow with dedicated fans, or those who just are curious about learning more on Moon Knight!
Keep watching that night sky, and keep tuning in!!
May Khonshu Watch Over the Denizens of the (K)Night,

EPISODE 99:
FEATURING TOP 4 BOOKS BY MIDKINE 'MK' HITSUZEN!
We're back for another ISLA RA sessions, and with the Moon high and Waning us it's Gibbous, we've had to pull out the stops for Khonshu and give him a good ol' slab of 'getting-to-know-your-fellow-Loony'!
What better way than to feature a first time guest on the show but by no means a stranger to the ITK community - Midkine Hitsuzen!
Hailing from the Island of the Friendliest People, Midkine vists Grant Mansion from the Philippines and has a good ol' chat with High Priest of Khonshu Rey! As always there's a bit of jet setting, so the boys find themselves int eh wild, wild west as well as....well, there's no other way to describe it - the ANOTHERVoid!
Whether you've already checked out Midkine's books from the newsletter links; or whether you want to be surprised and discover the desert islan books of Midkine whilst listening on the show; OR, if you want to hit the links below now to see what books they are - in any which way you approach it, be prepared for a thrilling, passionate chat about comics and more about Midkine himself - it's an episode not to be missed, and it's a HUGE one!!!

Hewwwwo Fellow Loonies!
After a very bumpy last week which involved a virus and a week off work, I'm glad to say that this High Priest is back to 100% and ready to take on the next newsletter for your sweet little eyes!
We are OH SO close now to our big centennial episode, but that makes our next episode - episode 99 - no less appealing or important. Funnily enough we are granted with another ISLA RA Session, thanks to the phase of the Moon for this coming weekend -
PHASE OF THE MOON: WANING GIBBOUS
ISLA RA SESSIONS - MIDKINE 'MK' HITSUZEN!!
And you read right, we have another FIRST TIME Loony on the show, Midkine Hitsuzen! I know I say it alot but we here at Into the Knight feel absolutely blessed by Khonshu, that we've had so many Loonies come on the show and share their love for not only Moon Knight, but for comics in general. I had a little count the other day and discovered that we have had no less than 20 Loony guests (!) on the show in the 99 episodes which we've done so far (well, we've actually done 100 episodes if you count our Episode 0!) That's something that we are very proud of and we encourage more Loonies to raise their hand and ask to be onthe show - we'll make it happen, don't you worry!!
Anyway, back on track - I had the honour of chatting with Midkine (aka MK) for his Isla Ra books, as well as the usual core questions we ask all those who visit Grant Mansion - how he got into comics; how he got into Moon Knight; and then another one of MK's passions and that being his visits to the many varied and rich comic book conventions over at his homeland of the Philippines.
It is a MASSIVE chat, so be prepared to bring along your favourite beverage and just soak in the 3+hour chat I had with our good man, MK...! MK's stories about the local scene and artists of the Philippines was drop dead fascinating and without spoiling too much, MK goes into some Filipino mythology which I totally dug!
As for whether or not you'd like to take a sneaky peek at MK's books - the books we discuss on the upcoming episode, take a little read below...
Midkine's Top 4 Isla Ra (Desert Island) Comics: ???
As always, we aren't giving anything away! Below you'll find encrypted links to Midkine's books. These will be in the show nots as well, but if you want to prepare for the show and discover what books Midkine has chosen - and read them ahead of our discussion - then look no further than below -
MIDKINE'S TOP 4 ISLA RA BOOKS:
MOON KNIGHT PRIZE GIVE AWAY!
In conjunction with this, fellow Loony/podcaster/Kings Comics staff member Wayne has GRACIOUSLY donated some nifty prizes for three lucky Loonies!
There will be three prize packs to give away (containing an array of Moon Knight comics to add to your collection), and the winners will be drawn and announced on our 100th episode! All you need to do is email to us (itkmoonknight@gmail.com) your name, postal address and answer this question correctly -
"What material is Moon Knight's armour made out of, in 'Vengeance of the Moon Knight' ?"
The first three correctly answered entries, drawn out on the show will receive their prize packs!!
If you can't make it on our show like Midkine, why not drop us a line to share your fandom of Moon Knight? We always love to hear from you and we love giving shout outs on the show from all the wonderful people we come across.

Whether that be comics, or gaming, or drawing or music...life's too short to not enjoy the simple things in life, so be sure to make some time for yourself and do the stuff that you, or you and your loved one, wants to do!
Ok, enough mushy-mushy...as always a huge thanks to you all (and a BIG thanks once again to Josh and Dustin for helping out with episode 98...you guys are LEGENDS! Top blokes!) for sticking with us... don't you worry - we've only just turned the corner in our first 100 episodes...there's plenty of shenanigans and mularkey to come!!

EPISODE 98:
A virus may have slowed down the release of this episode, but it hasn't dampened the heart of the Loonies!
This episode sees Rey joined by two devoted Loonies, Josh 'Geronimo' Johnson and Dustin 'Cold Case' Kurtz as they share the reviewing duties and tackle the huge 8-parter, "Lost in Space/Time" with each of the chaps reviewing a few of the issues each!
Josh introduces us with #17-18;
Rey discusses the body with #19-21;
Dustin completes the arc review with #22-24
How does Moon Knight fit into all of this? Tune in to find out!

We are back, Loonies!
Yes, it seems the weeks roll by rather quickly, because it seems like only yesterday we were here to tell you all about our upcoming LUNAR-PICK Classic Run Review...!
Last week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Adam Barnhardt (of the Marvel News Desk) and this time around, it looks like we do things in three -
PHASE OF THE MOON: WAXING GIBBOUS
THE WEST COAST AVENGERS VOLUME 2, ISSUES #17-24
'LOST IN SPACE-TIME' BY STEVE ENGLEHART & AL MILGROM
OK, so nothing immediately apparent in the moon phase or credits above, but we DO have a trio of reviewers for you this coming episode.
I'll have two passionate and all-round nice guy Loonies - Josh 'Geronimo' Johnson and Dustin 'Cold Case' Kurtz sharing the reviewing duties with me!
It'll be a little different this time 'round (and truth be told, we've had trouble coordinating our various time zones and commitments), as we'll be reviewing separately, the three sections of the arc - Josh will tackle the first two issues #17-18 (the Set Up); I'll deal with the next three issues #19-21 (the Body); and Dustin will be handling the third act and finale with the final issues #22-24.
It should be an interesting take between the three of us, and I'm keen to hear if we all have consistent views and impressions of the arc as a whole...in any case, you don't want to miss this, so expect to see the episode drop towards the end of the weekend coming up!
HIGH PRIEST REY, THE WANDERER
Speaking of which, Ay Caramba! Eef, Finn and I are on the move again with another apartment relocation, but it's not too bad this time around as we are moving within the apartment block and literally to the apartment next to us! Have been spending this week slowly moving stuff over - we got just the bedrooms and the piano room to shift over, so fingers crossed, the weekend will give us the time to do it all!
ITK'S 100TH EPISODE!
Now as you would have probably seen posted up on the Facebook Page and Group, we High Priests are pretty excited about our upcoming 100th episode, due out June 10th! I've been beavering away behind the scenes arranging something extra special for y'all, so I don't want to give anything away, except to say, I'll be recording tomorrow (as I type), and I'm pretty damn excited!
MOON KNIGHT PRIZE GIVE AWAY!
In conjunction with this, fellow Loony/podcaster/Kings Comics staff member Wayne has GRACIOUSLY donated some nifty prizes for three lucky Loonies!
There will be three prize packs to give away (containing an array of Moon Knight comics to add to your collection), and the winners will be drawn and announced on our 100th episode! All you need to do is email to us your name, postal address and answer this question correctly -

Hey there Loonies!
This newsletter is coming out a little late, but have no fear, we've got a show sorted for you which I'm keen to record over the weekend and share with you as soon as it's in the can!
Similar to last week (though we were heavily side tracked by our discussion of that wee little film called Avengers Endgame) we keep things relatively simple, and return to our roots, with a classic comic issue on offer for this week -
PHASE OF THE MOON: WANING CRESCENT
MOON KNIGHT VOLUME 1, ISSUE #5
'GHOST STORY' BY DOUG MOENCH & BILL SIENKIEWICZ
There'll also be a new guest on our show who I'm quite excited to chat with - it's Adam Barnhardt: writer of comic book articles and one of the hosts for the Marvel News Desk podcast!
I recently discovered Adam is a huge Moon Knight fan, so I wanted to have him on the show so we could talk shop (so to speak). Adam has alot of knowledge of the Marvel world (both in front and behind the scenes) so I'll be picking his brain on how he sees Moon Knight fit into the ever growing cinematic and TV universe - as a fan, I'm sure he has plenty of ideas, and it'll also be very cool to review a classic Doug Moench issue with him..!
I'll add this to the show notes of the show itself, but you can catch Adam on The Marvel News Desk and on the MND podcast, or on his Twitter account at @adambarnhardt .
In other news around the Loony Traps, you may have noticed that the ITK Community has formed a Division for the Fantasy Comic League, a really fun and cool way to meld your love for both comic books and fantasy leagues!
A fully sanctioned Division, you can read all about our team, #ITKMoonKnight2019 in one of the articles we published earlier this week,
Fantasy Comic League May-August 2019
I'll circulate once again a Discussion Thread on Moon Knight Vol.1, issue #5, which you can leave your thoughts and we'll read them out and discuss on the show...
As always, you can reach us on ANY of the below social media platforms - please do drop us a line - we always love to hear from fellow Loonies...and we'll definitely give you a shout out on the show!!
If you DON'T want your comments broadcast, please just add, "(DNB)" at the end of your comment, and we'll be sure not to broadcast it. We'll pick a few comments from here and discuss on the show!
We are slowly creeping in on our 100th episode - I don't now about you, but I'm very excited! If you have any suggestions on what you'd like to hear on the show, please don't hesitate to drop us a line too! We'll see if we can make it happen! There's no shortage of ideas though, and so it falls on execution as the crux which will determine whether the show can be as big as I want it to be!!
Anyway, I better stop hollering before I give anything away!....Hope to catch you at our next episode and hope to hear form you in and around our community -
May Khonshu Watch Over the Denizens of the (K)Night,

EPISODE 96:
You're given the full compliments of High Priests this episode, as Connorshu and Rebecca return to join Rey in discussing any news and views of Moon Knight over the past week or so.
There's also a hefty SPOILER filled discussion on Avengers Endgame - anyone living under a rock who has not seen it yet, please bear in mind the discussion occurs between (3:25) - (21:40) ...
And of course, we look at a Moon Knight comics, and this time 'round it's a listener request from fellow Loony James Young! Still in keeping with Khonshu's Moon Phase, the three High Priests have an informal discussion on on of Moon Knight's best!
