It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness, m'k?
Everything I've got for you this week is in the 'Other Stuff' category - looks like Loki's been playing tricks on me again. 😘
Other Stuff
Wanna get some background info on Moon Knight before it starts streaming on Disney+?
Imho, it's probs a lot of fun if you know nothing about it, but if you want the breakdown, then this explainer over on Medium from M.H. Williams @ Into the Discourse takes you through the history of Moon Knight.*
It also discusses the various mental health aspects of Moon Knight - including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) - and the way they've been handled by various comics creators, right from his first appearance in 1972 through to the present day.

Connie Pan @ Book Riot talked slow-reading and re-reading graphic novels
I'm a big fan of Book Riot's #SuperheroProblems series, and this instalment from Eileen Gonzalez talks about what happens when superheroes head to Hollywood as part of the storyline.
I probably didn't explain that that well - just read the thing!
Last week's Friday Fics Fix featured a The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) fic, because I have no self-control - it's a little different to the normal stuff I rec though, so check it out!
Over on Medium, I talked about the new Dr Strange: Multiverse of Madness trailer, or you can see my thoughts right here on Dora Reads in last week's Comics Wrap-Up
And to end with yet more shameless self-promo, I reviewed graphic non-fiction book Iranian Love Stories, and you can check out that review here
Are you looking forward to Moon Knight?
Are you familiar with the character?
Talk to me! 😊💬

I'm definitely not familiar with the story of Moon Knight, so I will be consulting some background info! But, I'm excited to discover a new story!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it! (And I hope the series turns out to be awesome!)
