INHUMANITY #1 Preview

Inhumanity exploded across planet Earth changing the human race.

During Infinity Black Bolt took extreme measures to stop Thanos. He detonated a Terrigen bomb triggering long dormant alien genes in the human race. Now ordinary humans have extraordinary powers and appearances. The world thinks Black Bolt is dead. Attilan (the Inhumans floating city) lies in ruins.

What will happen to Medusa, Crystal and the Royal Family?

Writer Jim Starling, artists George Perez and Ron Lim gave us The Infinity Gauntlet back in 1991 in which the entire Marvel Universe took on the Mad God of Titan.

Thanos seized the Infinity Gems (also known as the Soul Gems) and assembled them on a gauntlet – this cosmic weapon gave him the power of God. As a gift to Death (who Thanos worships) he wipes out half the lives in the universe with a snap of a finger including many Marvel heroes. Continue reading INFINITY GAUNTLET Flashback
