Ah, the moment when Valeria became the World's Smartest Toddler.

Being... um, fair to Millar, it is an interesting idea.
The execution is just kind of lacking, in that we're just told she's smart, and bam! She's super-smart.

And the super-duper perfect wonderful nanny just turned out to be Up To Something, but oh, what could it be?
What could it be?

(Also, calling whatshername the psychic a little girl when she's quite evidently past her teenage years... SHIELD probably needed to fill their jackass quota or something.)

Also, Valeria doesn't look *that* young here. She looks maybe 7 or 8. Certainly too old to be sleeping in a crib. I"m not sure how old she's supposed to be.

That, i am willing to give creative license since i think there are, like, three artists in the industry who can draw pre-schoolers without making them seem like miniature adults or fall into the uncanny valley.

I understand the difficulty level, it's just it is a frustrating gap in comic artists' skill set. We end up with very little visible age diversity since there's like 3 age groups most artists can draw.

"Interesting idea, poor execution" is pretty much Millar's trademark, isn't it?

Pretty much.
Except when it's "bad idea, worse execution".

"Interesting idea, too few shits given to do anything with it."

who is the nanny? a future Val?

Future Sue, actually.

(If she were Future Val, she'd be rude and insulting, as is required whenever someone meets themselves via time-travel.)
