[(W/A) Various (CA) Olivier Coipel] With talk of an Inhumans movie in the pipeline Marvel seems to finally be giving the Inhumans their moment to shine! 448 pages! What Marvel has done is amazing in and of itself...but seeing how forward thinking they are is really something to admire. I myself read Inhumanity thinking what in the world is Marvel doing? Creating new Inhumans kind of lessens the impact of Marvels mutants, doesn't it? Well it seems it was all part of the plan...since the Marvel Movie Universe can't use the X-Men, why not turn the Inhumans into the next best thing? And now suddenly the movie fans are scrambing to catch up on decade of great Inhumans stories Marvel has told...it's brilliant when you think about it! I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the Inhumans. So I was pretty eager to give this book a try and overall I was fairly happy with it. On the plus side, this is one of those events where Marvel promises real change to the Marvel Universe and actually delivers it. The wave of new superhumans caused by this event is already stirring things up in exciting ways and they're actually the focus of what the stories here are about. Both heroes and villains are scrambling to deal with the change and a lot of innocent lives are on the line. Apart from the main story (which is actually fairly short) most of the book deals with various heroes dealing with the fallout of Black Bolt's actions. As is to be expected when deal with many writers and characters dealing with the same event, the quality of the stories is a bit of a mixed bag. The ones that focus on the Hulk and Spider-Girl are very good while the Iron Man and Superior Spider-Man tales are just okay. The Mighty Avengers story seems only roughly tied to what's going on and the one involving various teen heroes is interesting since it features the members of Avengers Academy not swept up in Arcade's little secret adventure. If you're interested in how this event impacts the greater Marvel Universe this book, while not without flaws, is a pretty solid read. Now that we're starting to get a good idea where Marvel is heading with this storyline interest is going to only increase in the future! All items shipped in rigid cardboard!
