Marvel Comics has shed new light on the upcoming Moon Knight #25 milestone issue, which will feature the first appearance of Layla El-Faouly in the comics. If she sounds familiar, that’s because she’s the Scarlet Scarab that showed up in the Moon Knight show last year. Written by Jed MacKay, Moon Knight #25 will feature art by Alessandro Cappuccio, Alessandro Vitti, and Partha Pratim. Find it in comic shops on July 12.
The events of Moon Knight #25 will lead directly into the special limited series Moon Knight: City of the Dead. That miniseries is written by David Pepose and drawn by Marcelo Ferreira, launching on July 19.
