Truly disturbing.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Moon Knight’s Scales of Justice, as seen in last year's live-action Disney+ Moon Knight adaptation, just received a dark twist, as Moon Knight: City of the Dead #2 finds Moon Knight and Scarlet Scarab stranded in the titular city, where they encounter a villain who puts a horrifying spin on the Scales.
Moon Knight: City of the Dead #2 – written by David Pepose, drawn by Marcelo Ferreira, inked by Jay Liesten, colored by Rachelle Rosenberg, lettered by Cory Petit – features Moon Knight and his former flame Layla, now calling herself the Scarlet Scarab, tracking a villain known as the Jackal through the City of the Dead, where they learn the horrifying truth of his plan to outwit the Scales of Justice.
The Scales of Justice Have A Long Symbolic History Many cultures have used the symbol of the scale to signify the concept of "justice," dating back to Ancient Egypt and the goddess Isis. In certain texts, including the Egyptian Book of the Dead, a deceased person’s heart is put upon the scale and weighed against the Feather of Truth, with the outcome determining where they will spend eternity.
When a person's heart is put on the Scales, it measures all the good and all the bad of their lives. Villains such as the Jackal, whose hearts have been completely hardened by evil, will most certainly fail, and spend the rest of eternity being punished. In order to function in the City of the Dead, the Jackal needed a way around the Scales – hence his gruesome, tragic use of innocent children to trick the Scales.
