Moon Knight’s world gets a bit bigger, and his history digs a bit deeper with the upcoming oversized issue #25 as Layla El-Faouly is introduced in both past and present. The character was created for the Disney+ Moon Knight show, taking on the mantle of Scarlet Scarab, and is now making the leap to the comics. After her introduction during Marc Spector’s mercenary days, she will return to claim her superhero moniker in the limited series Moon Knight: City of the Dead, from writer David Pepose and artist Marcelo Ferreria.
