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: Continue reading Marvel Launching UNCANNY INHUMANS by CHARLES SOULE

Benedict Cumberbatch is winning raves for portraying Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. The Sherlock star is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Strange.

While promoting his new film, Cumberbatch was asked if becoming a super hero was a risk and what’s the appeal of the Sorcerer Supreme.

“I don’t think it’s a risk because of Marvel. Marvel is a stable of bringing out ordinary comic characters and turning them into screen-like gods. It’s very different, it’s an Astral Plane. There’s a huge new element to this Marvel universe that’s going to be employed in building this story and this character. But you know, I’m really excited about it, about working with Scott [Derrickson] whose imagination is endless, and all the boys and girls at Marvel who know what they’re doing.
