The Inhumans are coming to TV!
These comics will help expand the world of Marvel’s royal family.
The introduction of the Inhumans was not just another Silver Age story.
When an emotional Johnny Storm meets a mysterious redhead, he follows her and meets her family.
By adding Medusa, Lee and Kirby added an air of foreboding uncertainty to the Royal Family.
The Inhumans looked like heroes, but there was a mood of danger around them.
So much so that Lee and Kirby used the characters as a backup feature inThor.
The loyal and regal queen, Medusa, would be mirrored in the Eternals Thena.
Black Bolt and Maximuss background early tragic relationship was explored and rivals the Thor/Loki dynamic for sheer drama.
Instead,Inhumansbecame an afterthought in a low-selling anthology.
Thats not to say the book wasnt spectacular, as Kirby was at his best.
The Inhumans were cast in an eerie light…anti-heroes who did not trust or appreciate the outside world.
First George Perez and then Gil Kane drew the adventures of the Royal Family.
Maximus continued to be the main villain and the title delved deeper in the Inhumans connection to the Kree.
Jae Lees pencils portrayed the Inhumans as regal outsiders, eerie and gorgeous.
The series was a true work of art and arguably the best book Marvel produced in the late 90s.
By the time the series was over, the Inhumans were seen as aggressive antagonists to the human race.
The series also sees the USA invade the Inhuman homeland of Attilan.
This brought Crystal into conflict with the Royal Family, specifically Medusa.
Its likeGame of Thrones, in space, with a woman who has living, killer hair.
The resulting spread of the mists caused countless Inhumans to be created.
After the battle with Thanos, Black Bolt and his people stepped up to be major players.

What began inInfinitycontinues inInhumanity.
Karnak has the Inhuman ability to find the weakness in anything.
So, basically Karnak can bring down a building with a quick tap of his hand.
But inInhumanityand beyond, Karnak became even more driven and intense.
Crystal once tied to knot with the hammer wielding big bad fromGuardians of the Galaxy.
Crystal and her teams mission is to find and help save any new Inhuman created by the Terrigen outbreak.
This led to the inevitable conflicts with Marvels mutants, a conflict that came to a head inIVX.
These days,Royalsis the core Inhumans title and its pretty darn potent in our humble opinion.
In this series, Black Bolt is imprisoned and replaced by his brother Maximus the Mad.
We are not kidding.
Who doesnt love a good historical flashback?
