Morris Sackett won the MVP award every year he’s been on his five-time championship NBA team. He’s a braggart who dates a sexpot pop star and talks trash about his teammates. And as Mosaic, he’s becoming the perfect Marvel superhero for 2016.


Marvel Comics has been hyping the debut of Mosaic for a few months now. He was announced with a splashy exclusive interview with a big mainstream media outlet and received a free origin comic distributed via Barnes & Noble. Mosaic was also featured in Uncanny Inhumans, the flagship book for the property to which Marvel is tethering its newest characters. This new hero is a black man being worked on by black men, a phenomenon still rare enough in comics to be notable: writer Geoff Thorne is a veteran who has worked in animation, motion pictures, and scifi literature, and Khary Randolph, who’s drawn high-profile titles for DC, Image, and Marvel.

The first issue of the new ongoing series—with colorwork by Emilio Lopez and lettering by Joe Sabino—opens with narration from inside Morris’ head as he leads his team to another championship. Randolph’s art shines especially bright here, deftly showing the main character’s bravado and on-court skill with a steal, between-the-legs bounce pass evasion and an in-your-face dunk that makes you feel bad for a player who isn’t real.

The interior monologue and post-game interview that follows makes it clear that Morris thinks he’s hot shyt and, quite frankly, he is.

But his brashness quickly turns into panic when he gets exposed to the Terrigen Mist that transforms regular people into superpowered Inhumans. After his metamorphosis into a disembodied energy entity, Morris slowly learns that he can jump into other people’s bodies, access their memories and knowledge, and retain bits of that information after exiting. Yet, amazing as that all is, this new state of affairs means he can’t touch the glamorous life he once led.
