#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Night Moves#Marvel Superheroes: Official Game Adventure#Moon Knight comics#Moon Knight#Marc Spector#Spider-Man#Peter Parker#ok I couldn’t as readily find the third book but you know what I’m chill with that because LET ME TELL YOU#the orientalism in this was /out of pocket/ and looking at the cover of the next one (titled «Night Life»)#it looks like the orientalism was only going to get more pronounced so I think I’m good for now hahaha#this work also had the audacity to make me read the sentence «the heroes do the city a great service by eliminating a crack house»#(pg. 26) with my own two eyes#because ????!? excuse me??? what in the Reagan era anti-drug psa aldhdksh#(I guess he had only been out of office for about a year at this point but still)#I know comics are propaganda tools but PLEASE keep it subtle hahaha#and even if the title isn’t a reference to the 1976 Bob Seger song of the same name I think the author might also be a Zeppelin fan#because he used the phrase «dazed and confused» (as in the title of the fourth track#on side one of Led Zeppelin’s 1969 eponymous first album) no less than three times (pgs. 6/26/55)#anyway#wild that they suddenly chose to use the Moon Knight costume I most associate with vol. 2#and hi Peter <3
