The Inhuman invasion continues!
Marvel announced writers Charles Soule and James Asmus, artist Stefano Caselli will launch All-New Inhumans this December.
The new book features the return of Crystal with a new look as her classic locks have been cut. Medusa’s sister will lead a team including Gorgon, Flint, Naja, and Grid. The squad will investigate mysterious “Skyspears” popping up around the globe. The mystery objects cause an Inhuman’s power levels to spike when in their proximity.
You may recall Black Bolt unleashed a Terrigen Bomb which turned into a cloud creeping across the planet creating NuHumans.
“These stories follow a diplomatic mission/covert strike team effort lead by Crystal,” Asmus told Marvel.com. “She’s been at the center of the Inhumans, but also served as an Avenger, alongside the Fantastic Four, and even dabbled with the X-Men when she was married to Quicksilver. She’s been a constant presence in the Marvel Universe, but leading this faction of NuHumans is her stepping up in a big way.”
Soule revealed the “Skyspears” Crystal’s team will investigate ties into the bigger picture plans for the Inhumans.
“Skyspears are big obelisk-type artifacts that have appeared in or near population centers all around the globe,” explains Soule. “They can’t be moved, or damaged, or even really affected in any way. Their purpose is part of a pretty long play, but the All-New Inhumans will definitely be involved with their ongoing story.”
Soule charted the course for Marvel’s new franchise starting with Inhuman, Uncanny Inhumans and now All-New Inhumans. Asmus explains what readers can expect with each book:
“For the most part, Uncanny Inhumans focuses on the more epic conflicts of the Inhuman Royal Family, while our book focuses on the sudden explosion of NuHumans,” Asmus said. “Our stories, at first, will be a little smaller in scope, with deeply personal consequences for the characters. But we’re building up a cast and a portrait of the new Inhuman world that will soon have to go toe-to-toe with Marvel’s big boys in a very high-stakes way.
“All-New Inhumans in particular will focus on the strange and dangerous complications that come from a global unleashing of NuHumans,” the writer continues. “This book will be the number one way to see exactly how the Marvel Universe is changing as the Terrigen Cloud moves through the world. It’s about getting into countries hit by the cloud–through any means necessary–to help those who need it, and stop those out to kill/exploit/harvest their fellow NuHumans. But of course, new teams and global politics being what they are, there are a million ways for even the best intentions to go wrong. And maybe not everyone on our team has the best intentions to begin with…”
There could be tension between Crystal and Medusa. Johnny Storm (Crystal’s one-time boyfriend) is now the Queen’s lover in Uncanny Inhumans.
All-New Inhumans is the first new book of month three (December) of the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now.
Inhuman domination continues of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Producers revealed Soule co-creation Lash will be a key villain on the third season.
