Hilo #7
In "Chapter 1 I Got This," Hilo #7 delivers a grounded, character-driven moment as Gina grapples with the sudden realization that her magic isn't just tricks—it's a deep, ancient connection to the earth, making her the first enchanter in ten thousand years. With the Nestor trapped until morning, Gina rallies her family and uses Hilo’s tech to send Connie and Bonnie on a far-off cheerleading challenge, buying time and testing her newfound power. Written and illustrated by Judd Winick, with colors by Maarta Laiho and cover art by Winick, this issue blends quiet revelation with the familiar chaos of family life.

Since The Nestor cannot access a portal back to their home until the following evening, Gina forms a plan to hide them by getting the rest of her family out of the house; Hilo hacks Connie and Bonnie an invitation to compete in a distant cheerleading meet. Gina assumes that her magic only consists of a few tricks she has learned. The Nestor inform her that she is an enchanter who draws power from the earth -- earth's first enchanter in a hundred thousand years.
