Avengers #8 Cover Features the Star Brand

Marvel revealed the cover for Dustin Weaver's Avengers #8 where we see the Star Brand!

We know from other solicits that Jonathan Hickman is reviving the New Universe in some capacity, but exactly what and how much remains to be seen.

As a long time fan of Mark Gruenwald's Quasar, I'm curious to see if there will be any references, as Gru featured the Star Brand with Wendell Vaughn bringing it to the Marvel Universe as a means to escape the New Universe. Eventually, the Living Tribunal intervened and banned the power; however, I have yet to read the Warren Ellis take, so not exactly sure how this could go.
