Since the life he knew disappeared into cloud of green mist and a cocoon, Morris Sackett has been struggling to find solid ground, some kind of support he could rely on. Thus far, his attempts to do so have been stymied by the lack of a physical body and betrayals large and small.

However, on March 8 in MOSAIC #6, Sackett may find a sense of belonging in a community of people he will have never met before that moment. We reached writer Geoffrey Thorne as he set the table for the Inhuman family reunion to ask him what readers—and Morris—might be in store for.

Marvel.com: Obviously, Morris’ Inhuman physiology has altered his life in massive ways. However, before he was ever exposed to the Mist, did Sackett have any awareness of the Inhumans as a people or a community? Did he have any feelings towards them?

Geoffrey Thorne: [Laughs] Prior to terrigenesis Morris couldn’t have told you the difference between a mutant and an Inhuman and wouldn’t have cared what that difference was. They’d just have been one more group of super-powered people in the background of his awesome life.

If he ever saw them at all he’d have probably focused on Medusa and Crystal—by far the most famous of the Inhumans because of their contact with the Fantastic Four—and filed them both as “hot.” Beyond that, he wouldn’t have cared.

Marvel.com: Considering how much his life has changed, and so quickly, one imagines he must have strong feelings about the Inhumans. Any insight into the nature of those?

Geoffrey Thorne: Spoilers. But issues #6 and #7 deal almost exclusively with the relationship between Morris and the Inhumans. His encounter with them definitely puts him through his paces.

Marvel.com: Which Inhumans does Morris encounter?

Geoffrey Thorne: Flint, Nur, Medusa, Chrystal, Iso, Lockjaw; really a whole stack of them.

Marvel.com: As best as you can without spoiling things, can you describe how Mosaic and the Inhumans end up in each other’s orbit?

Geoffrey Thorne: Spoilers. But these two issues catch [the] MOSAIC timeline up with the rest of the [Marvel Universe].

Marvel.com: How aware are they of his existence until this point?

Geoffrey Thorne: The Inhumans keep tabs on as many of the cocoons caused by the terrigen clouds as they can. Some they miss, of course, but Morris was cocooned in a fairly public fashion. They probably would have contacted him but he was declared dead before they could get to it. Until this moment, they assumed he was dead, just as the rest of the world does. Plus he’s impossible to find in his current state.

Marvel.com: What are the Inhumans’ feelings about or impressions of Sackett?

Geoffrey Thorne: Some like him. Some find him a useful tool. Some think he’s a jerk.But he’s considered one of the family as soon as he appears to them.

Marvel.com: What is your approach to depicting the Inhumans? What elements did you feel were key to capturing their essence?

Geoffrey Thorne: Hmmm. I don’t if I had any particular approach. I’ve loved the Inhumans since I was a kid so I feel extremely comfortable writing them.  They are a proud ancient people currently under siege by some of the most powerful people in the Marvel Universe. When Morris meets them—just prior to Civil War II—Queen Medusa is about to make a series of fairly tough decisions.

Morris, as we’ve seen in [UNCANNY INHUMANS #11] gets caught up in her plans.

Marvel.com: How does this interaction fit into the larger fabric of the Inhumans as a group in a period of massive upheaval?

Geoffrey Thorne: Morris has been on the run since emerging from the cocoon. Life’s been kicking him pretty hard for the first few days of his time as an Inhuman. Meeting the rest of the “family” now is sort of the first time he gets a chance to breathe and he only gets the chance for a little while before he’s drawn into their conflicts with the super hero community and the mutants.

It’s a head spinner, for sure.

The fallout of these two conflicts will determine much of Morris’ future both as it relates to the Inhumans and as he relates to the world.

Be there for an Inhuman family reunion on March 8 in MOSAIC #6!
