I immediately saw the reference to XO. The content creator for the comic, Dennis Valencia, assured me smiling that the homage was 100% intentional. The guest cover artist is Mohamad Lubis Husain. At first i wondered if they remembered to give credit but they ABSOLUTELY did. His comic is called THE CELESTIAL KNIGHT #1, and this is essentially a variant cover.

Oh, and the artist/writer Valencia said he was at some big ComicCon five weeks ago or so and saw Dinesh walking around with a pink BAD IDEA ballcap, just casually walking around with someone else in a pink BAD IDEA hat...so apparently the rumors of BAD IDEA going kaput were a stunt.

I have it on good authority that Bad Idea is over.
