Black Bolt and the Inhumans are major players in this year’s Infinity epic. As a result of that storyline Inhumanity will spread across the Marvel Universe with an explosion of the species.
Matt Fraction has tackled X-Men, Iron Man and Thor and in 2014 launches Inhuman. Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso tells Comic Book Resources the scope and importance of the new series:
“Inhuman” will weave together two stories. You’ll meet new characters that are suddenly endowed with strange powers that link them to a secret society with a complex and bloody history. Their stories will provide a ground’s eye view of what it feels like to be born as an “Inhuman” in a Marvel Universe that might not be ready for you. You’ll also see how pre-existing Inhumans – Black Bolt, Medusa, Gorgon, Maximus, etc. – deal with the emergence – and grand implications – of new Inhumans in the Marvel Universe. Suffice it to say, Black Bolt is not in complete control of his people. Everyone’s paths will converge at some point, of course, and in ways you’ll never predict. The architecture of this series is complex and ambitious. A year ago, we promised that “Nova” and the “Guardians of the Galaxy” were going to be power-players in the Marvel Universe in 2013; 2014 will see the rise of the Inhumans.
Part of the Marvel Comics Inhumans could mean we’ll see them on the big screen in an Avengers sequel or possibly their own movie. Guardians of the Galaxy hits movie theaters in 2014 and will include members of the Nova Corps.
The Inhumans could be the next characters Marvel and Fox both use (similar to Quicksilver) in a their respective franchises since the Kree-created race has appeared in Fantastic Four and Avengers storylines.
