Like a Terrigen Cloud covering the globe – the Inhumans invasion by Marvel continues! Get ready for a brand new comic book series to emerge.
An Inhumans movie is slated for 2018 and Inhuman themes are appearing in Agents of SHIELD on television. Inhuman in 2014 by Marvel exclusive writer Charles Soule introduced a new generation of NuHumans and raised Medusa into a higher profile player in the Marvel Universe.
Now Marvel will launch Uncanny Inhumans by Charles Soule and Steve McNiven in April according to IGN. This is the creative team behind Death of Wolverine.
The new series will start with issue #0 in April and focus on Black Bolt – the fallen King of the Inhumans. Black Bolt unleashed the Terrigen Bomb and destroyed their floating city of Attilan in a fight to stop Thanos in Infinity. Black Bolt has been MIA since then except to his brother Maximus and members of the Illuminati in New Avengers.
Soule explains how the two books will differ and connect:
“Well, if Inhuman is the big, royal-level story focused on the various Inhuman factions and their struggle for control over the Inhuman “nation,” then Uncanny Inhumans will take more of a street-level approach, looking at some of the battles being fought on the ground, so to speak. It won’t be quite so focused on New Attilan and the struggles related to it. Maybe more of a global view,” Soule told IGN.
“Another key difference is that Inhuman focuses on Queen Medusa, while Uncanny’s lead will be (primarily) Black Bolt. That said, the idea is to continue to bring up the newer characters we’ve met, guys like Reader, Lineage, Inferno, Iso, good old Frank McGee, and others in both books.
They will certainly cross over – in fact, the inciting events for Uncanny will be shown in Inhuman #11 and #12. You don’t have to read those to understand what happens in Uncanny, but my whole plan is to make a really rich, cool reading experience for people.”
Soule confirmed the first bad guy is Avengers villain Kang the Conqueror. With Kang you know that means time travel – which could tie into the current Avengers, New Avengers: Time Runs Out story set in the near future in which Black Bolt revealed to the world he’s alive.
