This comic had a slow start and I was not really into it in the beginning. As the story went on, the story started to pick up and I really started to enjoy it. This did take me an extremely long time to read considering it is a comic but I also had finals around the time I started so that took a huge toll on me.

This volume covers a 12-issue miniseries from an updated version of the Inhumans of the late 90s (of course, there have been a couple more versions since then). As such, it gives a good introduction to the main characters of the series without being an origin story.

Anyone who has watched Agents of SHIELD (AoS) will be familiar with the basics of Inhumans: this is a race that seems human, but once exposed to the Terrigen Mist, each individual’s mutation is revealed. Unlike in AoS though, the exposure is not random – it is part of a ceremony, much like a celebration of reaching adulthood. This series does a good job of showing that each Inhuman is unique in their abilities, but at the same time there are similarities that bring some together (such as telekinesis or flight).

The plot of the series is relatively straightforward – an attack on Attilan (home of the Inhumans) by the outside world, betrayal from within their own ranks and, ultimately, a victory, though not the kind expected. There are a couple of interesting twists and you really get a feel for the main characters, especially Black Bolt even though he doesn’t say a word. You even get to see how Lockjaw’s powers work and how he’s not just the royal pet.

It may seem like 12 issues is long for a single story arc and, though it is unusual, it works. It is long, but it provides a good amount of detail for the story itself, while subtly explaining the world of the Inhumans to those who may be less familiar with it. And the art in this series is fantastic, with a boldness that the story requires and a good representation of both the characters and the setting.

4,5 actually. The art was perfect and I think this was the first attempt at a real serious build up to the Inhumans mythos.
The characters portrayal was perfect and everyone got their chance to shine.
It was a bit long, tough, and it meant a very slow pace since it focused in the one main plot only. Minor complaint only.

Definitivamente lo mejor que he leído de Inhumanos

This is not a great book in terms of story telling. It's slow without a true dénouement. However it gets 5 stars as a great character study. I do realize long time marvel readers might have been bored, but this was my first foray into the world of Inhumans, and I was enthralled. Every major and minor character was treated with respect to their own development. Of course, overpowering them all is the depiction of Black Bolt who shows the faults of "perfection".

Meh. A pretty dull, middling story line that marches on sluggishly to it's somewhat underwhelming conclusion. The artwork is pretty good, but it doesn't save the long drawn out boring story. I had hoped to get some insight into the TV series by reading this story. Now I hope they steer clear of this plotline and do something truly interesting.

I feel like I'm Jack Donaghy

Because this was boring. I'm bored now. The plot was entirely meh, the art was visually unappealing to me and seemed dated. Oooo shadows.... oooo shiny female appendages...blahhhhh. I couldve gotten over the art honestly if the story was compelling, but it was lackluster. Only at one point did I care what was happening and that was when Triton was flashing back to watching a ship sink. The was some deep stuff. The rest was just sort of emo-ish and convoluted.

very solid but not particularly exciting or fun, per se.

Great storyline, although a bit slow at times. A good jumping point for new readers, since this tpb to long extent explains the main key players, their beloved habitat and its culture, the arch enemy, everything!

4.5 stars!! Had never heard of this superhero(???) team before reading this but it was nothing like I had expected. Instead of a run-of-the-mill superhero team book I got an extremely well-written piece of science fiction that was surprisingly deep. Not what I was expecting at all.
