Note: this is a spoiler-free advance review of Mosaic #1, which will be released on Wednesday, October 12.
Even if you're not keen on Marvel's handling on the Inhumans franchise lately, at least it's spawned some great new solo characters. In the tradition of Ms. Marvel and Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, Mosaic uses the current Inhumans status quo as a springboard to introduce a dramatically different hero to the Marvel Universe. Mosiac #1 takes a little while to find its groove, but once it does it offers a very intriguing look at the newest addition to the Inhuman family.
The early pages of this first issue (which takes place before the events of the free preview comic) don't necessarily offer the most compelling case for Morris Sackett as a lead character. He's presented as a talented (if ball-hogging) NBA player with an ego to rival Kanye West. The problem isn't that Morris isn't a very likable character. Likability isn't the point, and there's a certain novelty in seeing a lead hero with such a morally ambiguous edge. The problem is that the early scenes offer little reason to become invested in Morris' story or his supporting cast. Right away, it seems clear what Morris' character arc will involve. Like many Marvel heroes before him, he'll gain powers, experience a few tragedies and learn some important lessons about responsibility and humility. They might as well call this book NBA SuperPro.
