Loving this storyline

Hyperion (2016-) #1 - Nicole Virella, Emanuela Lupacchino, Chuck Wendig
So, basically this week is going to be my drowning my anxiety over the election in reading comics. I may even buy more - either digitally or paper versions - to hold off this worry.

That being said, I loved this storyline: a young girl named Doll tracks down Hyperion, who is trying to live a normal life. He's bothered by the way that the Squadron Supreme relies on violence to solve all their problems, and he doesn't want to get involved, even after he realizes that doll is being tracked by her 'family.' The Carnies aren't her real family and she believes they'll turn her into a monster like them, so she's looking for a hero to save her.

Marc keeps insisting he's not who she thinks he is. Bennie seems to kill him and even after he comes out unscathed, he insists he's not Hyperion, a claim that seems less and less likely to be true as the comic goes on.

Will the Carnies get Doll? Where exactly is Hyperion? If Marc isn't Hyperion, who is he? It's fun just getting to find those answers.
