The things that remind me of Alan Moore are Hickman's ability to construct and design a story, his complex, intelligent plots, his attention to detail and also his reverence for older comics which I think you see in his work on the Fantastic Four and Secret Warriors. I certainly see a lot of parallels in his work.
I think you're right on the money. Hickman has truly proven to be one of the best creative minds in comics to come along in years. He's shot up to being my favorite writer these past couple years, and that's really saying something cuz there are quite a few writers that I really like.
