📝 Review Summary

Mosaic #3 is a visually stunning, thought-provoking entry in the series that showcases both the creative ambition and narrative risk Marvel was taking with this new character. The art by Khary Randolph bursts with energy, using expressive panel work to mirror Mosaic’s chaotic and fragmented psyche. Geoffrey Thorne's writing effectively balances introspection with superhero spectacle. The issue takes an impressive turn by integrating Spider-Man, providing fans with a fun, yet unsettling glimpse into what it means to hijack a hero’s body. 🕾️

While the pacing occasionally falters, the character development and unique concept more than compensate. Mosaic continues to stand out as one of Marvel’s most original creations in recent years.

⭐ Verdict: 8.5/10 – Innovative, bold, and emotionally layered.
