Hi Readers,
I will confess and say typically, I do not read comics that focus on the Inhumans. Not that I have anything personally against this particular part of the Marvel Universe, it's just that they never really appealed to me. After reading this issue, I may have to change that habit.
this spectacular issue starts with Karnak leading a history lesson for younger Inhumans, which reminded me of Professor X and the X-Men (maybe because Karnak is bald LOL). The art of Tom Raney fits the overall mood and feel of the Inhumans because just like them, his art is very familiar looking, while still seeming slightly off-center. His drawings are recognizably human, but their stances and the look of their brow make them seem very mysterious and unusual.
Raney also does a great just of exemplifying the diverse appearances of the Inhumans. Some of them seemed to be energy based creatures, some animal-like, and very few could pass for Homo Sapien. Speaking of appearances, I love Medusa's new regal look. The fact that she is now wearing a formal headdress and gown shows that she is queen of the Inhumans. She also is an example of humanity's prototype of a woman. She's tall, beautiful and long flowing hair, that seemingly moves in the wind. She looks like a modern day Rapunzel, waiting for her handsome prince to save the day.
Of the Inhumans, I will admit that Karnak is my favorite by far. He is an Inhuman who has an extremely helpful skill rather than flashy power. He can find the weakness in any enemy and object, regardless of their power and ability. How could he, of all the Inhumans, not be able to detect the invading Skrulls? This puzzles me! Hopefully, within the next three issues, they will explain how they are/were able to live among this peaceful race, undetected.
