Wow. That was really bad.

Everyone knew exactly where this was headed and what would happen in this series for at least a year before this was even announced. There's a giant cloud floating across the Earth that kills mutants. Of course the X-Men are going to try and destroy it. The Inhumans act like they have no idea what's going on or why the X-Men are attacking. The Nuhumans (What a stupid name!) are the only ones that are acting sanely. I'm sure glad I waited for this to appear on Marvel Unlimited. (view spoiler)[I d...

This is something of a big, dumb mess of a book... but, as I didn't have high hopes of a hugely meaningful epic crossover Event going in, I wasn't too disappointed and so I enjoyed it for the most part. Marvel has had heroes fight one another for no particular reason the better part of seven decades, and here we go again... It's got an occasionally baffling array of characters, some duplicate versions of the same characters, and some of whom don't seem to know why they're there. (Ms. Marvel is t...

Hey, awesome--more heroes fighting heroes and acting out of character. Let's call a halt on this tomfoolery for about 10 years, Marvel, lest I be forced to take drastic action and buy myself a crazy expensive bottle of Scotch (though I don't think that would bother Marvel all that much).

The terrigen cloud has been a threat looming over the heads of every mutant alive. Beast has been working with the Inhumans on a solution, but he has run out of time. The terrigen cloud is making the Earth uninhabitable for mutants. Beast warns the X-Men first.They decide to destroy the cloud and defeat the Inhumans. War over the survival of mutant kind is coming to New Attilan.Inhumans vs X-Men was really bad. There is no other way for me to say it. I like the Inhumans and the X-Men, but this e...

I think most people can agree that the whole Inhumans as the new X-men thing never really caught on in the way Marvel hoped it would. They were more a cool niche group that should have been pulled out of the closet and used sparingly.Not pushed on unsuspecting audiences as a top shelf team.At the height of Marvel's folly, they were everywhere.EVERYWHERE.And still, they remained the yellow lollipop of the MU. Sure, there are people who like yellow lollipops...But most people? They want blue or re...

Forced, contrived, ridiculous and completely unnecessary. 2 stars for the artwork. Sigh...

2.5 stars. This book is really dumb and yet, for some reason, I kind of liked parts of it. First, the good:The art is good.I like the Inhumans. A lot of people don't and I get that. For some reason they remind me of the society in Nightbreed and I think that helps. It has some funny parts that made me laugh (like Magneto saying he needed to go to the bathroom. Dumb but funny).The bad:Much like Avengers vs X-Men, this whole story is just one big, dumb punching match.The characters acted WAY out o...

Way better than I had thought it would be. I've liked the idea of terrigen being a serious matter of contention between the Inhumans and the mutants: the Inhumans consider it sacred and need it to continue their culture, but it's literally killing mutants. As far as major dividing arguments go, it's a good one. That said, I've also thought that the issue has been treated far too casually. The X-Men simply bugger off to Limbo, like that's a valid homeland for anyone who isn't a demon, and it seem...

3.5, bumped because the last issue was really good

Better than I expected, but not by much. Soule has some good moments in him, some nice match-ups. But as with Civil War 2, the problem is still setting up the fight, which essentially boils down to supremely smart people doing not-very-smart things, like not communicating. And then that ending, where [spoiler] Medusa dumps someone and on the very next page is making moves on someone else, isn't exactly a flattering portrait. And I'm not entirely on board with the whole "Emma is now mad" angle. A...

So I got round to rereading this event, and it still doesn't feel right. Everything's a bit off with the very much out of character behaviour and action of many X-Men, Inhumans and NuHumans. 70+ years ago we had The Thing vs The Hulk, the House of Ideas needs some new ideas other than pitching 'heroes' against one another. For what it is worth I did love the portrayals of Havoc... erm yep, just Havoc. 7 out of 12 for the hugeness of it all.

This was reallly reallllllly realllllllllly boring....I don't know why this was made. I mean I know why. To have more sales for both Inhumans and X-Men but the reasoning didn't make sense. So the Gas that creates Inhumans is killing Mutants. So what do the mutants do? Storm, Jean, Young Beast, you know the HEROES who PROTECT people no matter what...They decide they must stop the Inhumans. So they take down their last gas tower which does exactly the same thing to mutants would do to Inhumans. Me...

Oh man, that was pretty damn excellent.When I finished the last volume of Bendis' exhausting X-series (Storyville), I really thought that was the official end of the storyline Grant Morrison started with New X-Men back in 2000, but I was totally wrong. Inhumans vs X-Men is the real ending, and the real deal -- a crossover that is near perfect in its themes, pacing, and design.Of the many weird things that Morrison's run did to usher in the modern X-era, there was one thing that has driven the se...

I know Marvel are trying to kill off the x-men and make the Inhumans happen because Fox owns the rights to the X-Men movies, but still...The inhumans basically seem to be a bunch of super powered aliens who spent most of their history hiding from humanity and not lifting a finger to help with anything until their direct interests were threatened. They're a very hierarchical monarchy where the royal families word is law. They are slave-owners.SpoilersThey release the Terrigen mist which will awak...

Another slap in the face to X-Men.Boring rushed and yet again another major character goes by by.A lot of new X-Men series do start soon but without a lot of the main characters not entirely sure how it will work.As for this story it starts well but quickly becomes a mess characters aren't used well and the story becomes rushed and losses focus. It sort of contradicts itself with the ending also and is just sums up how bad X-Men and Inhumans currently are.Unfortunately it is a must read because

2,5* at best. The saddest thing of it all is that it wouldn't have ben so bad if not for the stupidest premise of all: all this 'cos the X-Men are so dumb they never told the Inhumans they only had 2 weeks left before becoming extinct.So they make a preventive attack (not too badly conceived btw) against the big guns before trying to destroy the last active terrigen mist and it lasts for 6 issues that Leinil Yu couldn't even pencil from beginning to end (the fillers not being as good of course)....

I don't understand why this got so much hate. Compared to most Marvel big crossovers events in the past decade (which I admit is not saying much) this is actually pretty damn good.The reasons for mutants and inhumans to go to war are believable (even more than AvX in my opinion), the story unfolded in an entertaining way, and of course the art was beautiful, which always helps.I think this is actually the first big crossover that had me hooked, eager to turn to the next page till the end since.....

A mediocre crossover main event. The X-men are pissed the remaining terrigan cloud is killing mutants and the inhumans want to keep it because inhumans want more weirdos. It is a story with a fair amount of layers going back to death of X and I was on board with the plot with Emma and Magneto but this book is lacking action and mainly sidetracked with keeping you up to speed where everyone is. Big fights are not really present and the ones we see are just a few panels like the colossus vs. gorgo...

Everyone know this is a bad idea.Everyone knows that this fight didn't make sense. This crossover turns the royal family into a monster. This crossover turns the old marvel characters become senile for some reason. Specially the Xmen.Like fuucckkk!!!!The only thing about this books is about the killer cloud that turns people into Alien lizard men and kills Mutty. Yet for some reason they start killing each other instead of fixing it. The only thing redeemable on this book is when Miss Marvel a t...
