"Drawing equal parts inspiration from Inception and Taken, I'm thrilled to be tackling one of my all-time favorite Marvel characters in Moon Knight: City of the Dead," says Pepose.

Scarlet Scarab's comic book debut will continue in the pages of Moon Knight: City of the Dead, a five-issue limited series from writer David Pepose and artist Marcelo Ferreira. Moon Knight #25 is written by Jed MacKay, with art by Alessandro Cappuccio, Alessandro Vitti and Partha Pratim and cover art by Steve McNiven.
