Has Jonathan Hickman Created an X-Men #8/Decorum #1 Crossover? (Spoilers)

Okay, this is weird. Really weird. Today sees the publication of Decorum #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Mike Huddleston from Image Comics. And the release of X-Men #8 by Jonathan Hickman and Mahmud Asrar . And there's a connection. No, not that Jonathan Hickman has created another cypher language for the comic. Or the use of prose, text pages, diagrams, documents and the like to lay out an entire reality. Or that people seem to be attacking an island again. No, it's this scene, from one of those island-attackers…

… and the reveal that they have an egg, a most desirous egg and worthy to go to war over. What kind of egg? For that we will have to wait till future issues, or pore through many documents… or we can just read today's X-Men #8…

Coincidence? Two books from the same writer, out on the same day, both with people after some kind of space egg? Okay, probably. But still… I mean, after all, the New Mutants only came together because Professor X was infected by a Brood queen. everything's connected…
