Avengers #9 Confirms New Universe & Features Star Brand (Hickman)

Avengers #9 Confirms New Universe & Features Star Brand (Hickman)

As we previously thought from the last batch of Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers covers, we now have confirmation that the New Universe will return and we also see the Star Brand on the cover of April’s Avengers #9.

I wonder if Hickman will touch upon the fact that the Living Tribunal sealed off the Star Brand from the Marvel 616 universe during Gruenwald’s Quasar run as Wendell Vaughn’s girlfriend, Kayla Ballantine, found herself with the Star Brand and trapped on a world that was eventually quarantined from the rest of the universe?

Of course that was back in the 90s, has there been anything regarding the Star-Brand in the 616 since?
