Charles Soule is one of the busiest writers in comics and busiest guests at Emerald City Comicon this weekend. With Superman/Wonder Woman, Red Lanterns, Swamp Thing for DC and Thunderbolts, She-Hulk for Marvel Soule was on multiple panels answering fan questions.
Inhuman #1 is the big Marvel book on this fan’s brain. Soule teams up with artist Joe Madureira for a brand new title that stars classic characters like Black Bolt and Medusa while introducing all-new heroes and villains born as a result of the terrigen bomb detonation in Infinity.
I got a chance to look at the first issue before it arrives in comic book shops this Wednesday. It looks spectacular in the style Joe “Mad” is famous for and filled with energy.
With an expanding cast I asked Soule who are the new Inhumans to watch for as far as making a greater impact on the Marvel Universe.
“Lineage is a character I already introduced in Thunderbolt #17 and a new character called Reader are what you would call the breakout characters.”
For old-school fans Inhuman is a chance for Black Bolt and Medusa to finally get major front-runner status in the Marvel Universe after being supporting players in Avengers and Fantastic Four sagas.
Emerald City Comicon not only gave me a chance to talk with Soule, see inside Inhuman #1 but I spotted my first Inhuman cosplayer.
Take a look at these women paying homage to the Queen of the Inhumans and Susan Storm Richards, matriarch of Marvel’s First Family – the Fantastic Four.
With the first of many “Medusas” and a brand new series – this could be a sign the Inhumans are on a fast track to joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Inhuman #1 arrives Wednesday.
