Marvel Announces "Mosaic," Starring Diverse, Body-Jumping Antihero
Clearing up months of teasers and speculation, Marvel has unveiled its plans for "Mosaic," an ongoing series written by Geoffrey Thorne and drawn by Khary Randolph, about a new body-jumping Inhuman anti-hero. Before the launch of the new "Mosaic" series in October, Marvel is releasing a 10-page origin story for the new black character, which will go on sale at Barnes & Nobles on August 6.
According to Vulture, "Mosaic" will follow "...the exploits of a man named Morris Sackett. He starts out as a beautiful and successful professional basketball player, a selfish jerk, and — unbeknownst to him — a latent Inhuman," who, upon discovery of his powers, "...finds he no longer has his handsome body. Instead, he’s become a free-floating entity that needs to occupy other people’s bodies in order to survive."
The site also debuted the full first issue cover by Stuart Immonen -- which has been teased in pieces for months by Marvel -- along with Immonen's designs for the character and Randolph's variant cover for issue one:
Describing Mosaic's powers, Thorne said, "The baseline is Morris can take over a person's body and essentially become them. He has access to every memory, every talent, and most important, every nuance of speech and behavior his host might have. There are no barriers when Morris takes a host. He is you. Not even a telepath could detect his presence unless he wanted them to. He cannot be detected or blocked by any conventional surveillance or defensive equipment, not even Stark-level tech. He is the perfect spy. He doesn't exist on the 'astral plane.' Morris physically takes over your body — sort of like a parasite or a virus made of energy. There are some other powers, one in particular, that I'm holding back, and limitations and drawbacks, which he and we will learn."
Randolph's designs for "Mosaic."
Addressing Morris Sackett's significance as a black character, and how his own artistic sensibility lends itself to the character, Randolph said, "People always ask for more diversity and strong characters of color, so that is what we aim to deliver. But that aspect is just the outer layer — the more important thing is creating an interesting person that people will want to know more about month to month. Specifically as it pertains to Mosaic, the subject matter just appeals to my sensibilities. I love science fiction, I love hip-hop and I love sports, and this project has all three of these in huge quantities. I think one of my strong points as an artist is conveying energy. Which comes in handy when you are drawing a character that is literally energy. Also, they're paying me."
The involvement of Thorne and Randolph on the project reflects Marvel's recent push to hire more diverse creators. Last year, Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Axel Alonso addressed the publisher's diversity issues with CBR News. "We are experiencing a lull in African-American writers at this moment, but it is temporary. We will be announcing new series very soon that will prove that. I'm talking about new voices, familiar voices and one writer whose voice is heard round the world."
"Mosaic" #1 hits stores in October.
This reminds of that Xmen kid that was always there but was undetectable to everyone for some reason.
They're probably doing it as a cop-out to creating origin stories.

Mark Millar Unveils New Black Female 'Kick-Ass' (Exclusive)
Mark Millar Unveils New Black Female 'Kick-Ass' (Exclusive)
This time, instead of Kick-Ass being a story of a nerdy teen named Dave Lizewski who becomes a real-life superhero, the new comic does a 180-degree turn with the introduction of the new character who is female and black.
“Comics is not short of white males aged around 30; that demographic seems pretty well catered for in popular culture,” Millar said. “I don’t think many blonde white guys around 30 feel under-represented when they pick up comic or watch a movie. Being older or younger or female or African-American just seems more interesting to me as a writer because this character is quite unique and opens up story possibilities that haven’t been tried in almost eighty years of superhero fiction. This woman has a completely different take on Kick-Ass.”
Millar didn’t reveal details, character or plot, but said the story was set in a different city with a new supporting cast joining the new lead. He also said he saw the title as featuring a legacy character, where who dons the suit matters less than the story being told.
“Kick-Ass is like James Bond or Doctor Who, where with a new face and a new situation and it suddenly feels very exciting,” Millar said. “Every four volumes or so I want a different person in the mask. Sometimes it might even only last a single volume or even a single issue.”
Kick-Ass debuted in 2008 to big sales and big buzz as Millar struck a chord with fanboys the world-over with his wish-fulfillment tale (the over-the-top violence also helped). Two movies, the first one directed by Matthew Vaughn, the other starring Jeff Wadlow, followed.
Previously, the books coming from Millar’s Millarworld imprint have been published as mini-series and later collected into trade paperbacks. This will be the first time Millar puts out monthly titles.
Kick-Ass will be drawn by Kick-Ass co-creator John Romita Jr. who has committed to work on the book for three years, according to Millar. Hit-Girl will be drawn by Rafael Albuquerque. Millar will write the first story arc and then Daniel Way, best known for his work on Marvel comics starring Wolverine and Deadpool, will take over as the regular author. Both books are expected to launch in January.
Millar says part of the desire to return to the character was just simple longing. The author has spent the last several years working on sci-fi comics such as Empress and Starlight and superhero epics such as Jupiter’s Legacy.
“I really just missed Kick-Ass. It was a funny book because it was about a guy who had no powers, no gadgets and wasn’t very good and yet it was massive. We had two movies in our first five years, games merchandise and so on. It’s been three years and Johnny and I both just really missed the concept. It’s fun to write and after all the fantasy and space opera and vast budget superheroes it’s actually been amazing to get into something grounded again.”

This either goes hit or miss, imo.
I was a big fan of the og Kickass though, and am a fan of his writing style in general. It's easily one of my favorite creator-owned series and the fact it's being brought back with a black female Kick-ass is crazy and dope.

This is why I'm staying far away from Marvel until after Civil War 2 is over (although I do want to check out the new Black Panther and Nighthawk titles).
I still wanna know why none of these asshat super-heroes seemed to want to become proactive and use Destiny when she was still alive. That old bytch saw visions of all sorts of shyt and she was even working for the fukking U.S. government for years yet nobody made a big deal about how dangerous it was to have her running around or wanted to use her as a pre-emptive option.So basically Bendis was up drunk being a fat elephant cac one night saw "Minority Report" on TNT and started writing "Civil War 2".
Most people tend to not agree but I consider From Hell to be the best thing Alan Moore has ever done or will ever do.I bought Alan Moore's "From Hell" about Jack the Ripper
and Neil Gaiman's Marvel 1602
