I am loving what Marvel is doing with the Inhumans! Its got a definite X-Men feel. All this just in time for the Inhumans exposure on Agents of Shield and the there new movie in 2018.

I enjoyed this, but it's pretty standard comic book fare.

Really liked this one. I loved seeing Queen Medusa really take center stage vs trying to guess what Black Bolt wants her to do.

Beautiful art, incredible story telling, and enticing characters.

I am so in love with Inferno's story. Really want to see more of him. And of course Medusa!!! Such a good Medusa story!!!!

I really liked this! It's a much better introduction to the Inhumans than the Inhumanity trade, and has made me excited about the movie for the first time. Also, now I really need to catch up on Ms Marvel.

I don't have much to say in terms of the plot since the story has only just began. However, I found it interesting and relatively easy to follow considering it's a graphic novel. There's a lot going on and so many characters.

That being said, we need to talk about how fucking badass Medusa is.

Words cannot describe how excited I am about her. She's a redhead, she's got badass hair, she's Queen and doesn't take shit from no one, she's got morals but is willing to do what she has to, and she doesn't sit like a lady.

I know the last one is a stupid reason but I love that Joe Madureira doesn't draw her in these super sexualized female positions. I mean look at her! She sits like a freakin' badass who's not about to take your shit:



*fan self* I've got a lady boner. It's official.

I've never had much use for the inhumans (seems a little cheep to have a god-like character as their king) but it's nice to see BB gone and all these new people coming and going. Not sure about the series right now, but well written so we'll see where it goes.

So...Infinity spoilers galore in this volume. As well as this review, I suppose. So that's my warning.

Be warned.

In, Infinity, Black Bolt blows the hell outta the Inhumans city (Attilan), and in doing so he released all of their Terrigen Mist and it ends up spreading across the whole world.

this new series basically picks up right after that. There's a little two issue HC you can get - [b:Inhumanity|18948780|Inhumanity|Matt Fraction|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387183845s/18948780.jpg|26958619] which will close the gap a bit more cleverly...but whatev.

All in all, I liked this book. It's not an Avengers book, it's not a mutant book, it's not a cosmic book. It's its own thing. It's an Inhumans book. The cool thing is, that with the Terrigen mist spreading everywhere we are getting all these cool new Inhumans for the writers to play with (alongside our already established cast of Inhumans).

The history and lore of the Inhumans are rich and deep - these new (and old)characters could make for some very interesting reading and I am looking forward to seeing where everything takes us. I'm not super well versed with the Inhumans to begin with - I just have the basics - but in 1 single volume I have become a fan and want to dig a little deeper. I want to learn a little more.

I'd probably give it three and a half stars if Goodreads wasn't super lame-o that way.

I'd have loved to have Crystal in this comic! I mean, they introduced two new elementals, how could she not be the best to train them? Loved Dante, I read this for him and ended liked Medusa a lot but the pacing must've been weird issue to issue, I think. Lost a star for that pannel of Medusa naked that was inecessary.
