Inhumans by Paul Jenkins covers a group that I don't often run into-the Inhumans on Attilan. Led by their silent king, Black Bolt (his whisper can level mountains)-the Inhumans thrive by the mutations caused by the Terrigen Mists. It helps them to unlock their genetic code and become something else.But it turns out all is not well in Inhuman society. Black Bolts brother is brilliant but a complete maniac. The Alpha Primitive work force is restive. A young Inhuman, Woz, undegoes the Terrigen mist...
I feel like I'm Jack Donaghy Because this was boring. I'm bored now. The plot was entirely meh, the art was visually unappealing to me and seemed dated. Oooo shadows.... oooo shiny female appendages...blahhhhh. I couldve gotten over the art honestly if the story was compelling, but it was lackluster. Only at one point did I care what was happening and that was when Triton was flashing back to watching a ship sink. The was some deep stuff. The rest was just sort of emo-ish and convoluted.
The Inhumans occupy such a unique creative space in the Marvel universe, one not often explored. This series isn't a superhero story, it's a war drama that's all about the complex political systems of the Inhumans and how they interact with the various human political systems.Externally, human forces are invading, human allies refuse to join in (for fear of starting World War III), and Namor wants the Inhuman city to stop sitting on a raised-to-the-surface Atlantis. Internally, Black Bolt is try...
Jenkins and Lee together craft a story of family, monarchy and betrayal, while also establishing a status-quo for the Inhumans that would see them through the next decade of Marvel Comics.Maximus, brother of Black Bolt, betrays his kind in order to take his brothers throne. It's a plot that's played out slowly by Jenkins, taking a few issues to come to fruition. Jenkins has 12 issues in total to play with here, but he still doesn't rush into anything. First he establishes his concept for the Inh...
Another reread for me. There's nothing about this story that I don't like. It's one of those great instances where story and art mesh together amazingly well. I also have the motion comic for this, that I also recommend.
When it comes to Marvel superheroes, most of them are flawed outcasts whether it is the X-Men as mutants are often victims of prejudice or even Spider-Man who is seen as a public menace whilst his alter-ego is a nerd targeted by bullies. In the case of the Inhumans, who made their introduction in the pages of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four, they are a race of superhumans, conceived by the Kree empire, who primarily and deliberately distance themselves from the horrors of humanity, whil...
12 issues of some serious story telling. Dont expect to laugh or smile during this pretty dark book, its a heavy story in a watchmen sort of way. The inhumans are on earth in a protective bubble that has been revealed to the world. Its your classic " are they friend of enemy" story that revolves around black bolts decision to act against the humans. Maximus, black bolt's brother is imprisoned and is not to happy with his position. All hell breaks loose as the humans take action against the inhum...
Does anyone remember the Guide To The Marvel Universe series from the 80's - the encyclopedia of images, power sets and plot histories that Sir Stan convinced us collectors we *had* to have as loyal Marvel Zombies. This book feels like an appendix chapter. I feel like I've been through a remedial class in Inhumans, disguised as a "story" with a "plot".The book is both frustrating and satisfying. It takes forever to get to the point of his "story", which is to say I think Jenkins is uninterested
Loved the art and enjoyed the story. Full review to come.
I read the Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee Inhumans run from 1998-1999 on Marvel Unlimited. This is the start of my Marvel read through as this is a good place to start for the modern Marvel storylines. I enjoyed this and knowing nothing about Inhumans was perfectly fine, I caught on rather quickly. Humans are attacking the Inhuman city known as Attilan. Inhumans are individuals that evolve from the terrigen mist into diversely different creatures with strong powers. They are basically what the ancient...
Story starts with interesting premise, humans wanting to conquer city of Inhumans with all it's secrets. Black Bolt as king must protect it and at the same time face schemes of his evil brother. Whole nation of Inhumans will all their superpowers and strange society is pretty impressive and sparks reader's curiosity. Somewhere from the half whole pace slowed down and at the one point it looked like it'll slip to the average, but ending was really amazing. One of my main interest in this book was...
follow me on storygraph! a black woman owned, non-amazon affiliated goodreads alternative! “Imagine you could never make another sound, not for the rest of your life. Not a sigh, not a yawn. Not a single word. Ever. Then imagine you were given one chance to speak. What would you say?” meet the inhumans! they have this weird thing they do where they look like normal kids and then when they become adults, they walk into these things called the terrigen mists which make them mutant like? black
I thought I would like this because it is Marvel's mature line(Marvel Knights) but it was so underwhelming and lost my interest.
I had a hard time rating this. Not because I didn't like it, or didn't like it, but because I feel indifferent about it. Almost...Inhuman...Okay I'll shut up now. So what's it about? You get to learn who the Inhumans are. Why they are different. This is political warfare happening at all times. Humans scared, Inhumans trying to govern their own, plans upon plans, twist and turns, it's going to be a big brawl in the end that'll end in death and destruction which all that's left in the end. Good:
Just really didn't care for this one.
this was incredibly mediocre other than issues 1 , 11 , & 12. you can really see parallels between the comic and tv show though which is cool.
What I like about this is there is a race of extremely powerful Inhumans that live in Attilan. They are attacked by this weird group of army. They have the power to easily wipe out the army. They want to stay hidden and unknown from the world. They choose to let the humans fire on them. They think of the larger picture and higher good than fighting. I mean there were deaths and there was some fighting, but it is an interesting concept. We only get to see a very little bit of what they can do.I'm...
Welcome to Attilan......home of the Inhumans. It is currently located in the former location of Atlantis causing problems with undersea Prince Namor and nearby neighbors who covet their technology. Attilan and the Inhumans also have in house problems thanks to the one and only Maximus the Mad, brother of Inhuman King Black Bolt.This short miniseries of Inhumans provides an in-depth view of their society from the monarchy, terrigenesis, and the alpha primitives. It gives a nice view of the royal
So spurred by the success and general likability of Marvel's phase two slate of films with the promise of even better things to come, I've finally decided to go directly to the sources. A caveat for all the reviews to follow on this shelf: I'm a lifelong, die-hard DC fan who's had little or no interest in any of the Marvel titles beyond the occasional Spider-Man story here or there. I'm woefully ignorant of the company's major events and figures and this is my attempt to rectify things. I got my...
Do you know that feeling when you pick up a new book and you read the first page and you get goosebumps all over because this is better than you thought it might be? And then you read the whole book and you're NOT disappointed? It's an all-too rare feeling, but that's definitely the case with me and this book.After reading some comics where the Inhumans appeared mostly in the background, and especially after seeing some posts on tumblr, I decided to give this book a try. And boy, am I glad I did...
