Yep, this is a Jonathan Hickman comic, alright.

"You should be glad I have hair!"

I've been working under the assumption this was Moira, but I'm actually looking at the panels and they sure do have the same nose, face, eye shape, eyebrows and eye color. I'll just throw "time traveling relative" into the mix of possibilities for future theories that don't pan out.

[arilou_skiff]

Yeah, I thought it was Moira too.

It is Moira McTaggart -- it actually says it is in the comic. The opening quote tells us.

I know that it isn't but if you told me that Stuart Immonen drew this, I'd have believed you

Who is on art? It looks familiar but I can't place it.

[shadowkat]

RB Silva. I have the comic on my kindle.

[matrix_dragon]

Yup. Hickman.

[scorntx]

So much for the hope this would be written by "Fantastic Four" Hickman rather than "Avengers" Hickman...

Kind of impressed Marvel got not just one but two Immonen-imitators for this series.

Well they're good draftsmen, hopefully they'll pull a Bill Sienkiewicz and do more of their own thing.

Also Hickman's graphic design interstitial look nicer with Tom Mueller helping out.

I wonder if people still hate those? Comic writers usually treat those as free extra-content since you can add to the 20-page of drawn comics since they take way less time to make than a comic page. But I've seen audiences react negatively to them.

I think the other reason Hickman keeps using them is because they give him some control over pacing and page-turn reveals (which is easy to control in an image book, but not with a Marvel/DC comic with ads).

I've read the comic twice and I am still lost. Like, hopelessly lost.

I was underwhelmed by this issue, but I realize I need to read all 12 issues of this re-launch. It’s the same stuff we’ve seen from the X-Men for years. I’ll be interested to see what Hickman can do to change things up.

I'm gonna predict... nothing
