Inhumans By Paul Jenkins & Jae Lee (Inhumans (1998-1999))

"Imagine you could never make another sound, not for the rest for your life. Not a sigh, not a yawn, not a single word. EVER. Then, imagine you were given one chance to speak. What would you say?"Man, there is tension going on and I was keep on going like do something Black Bolt. Do something, man. Your people are in trouble and in whole pages he was inactive. Until, the end comes and did I cheer when Inhuman defeats the Human Plague? Yes, I Did!This is how a comic book should be written. You have a character who can level cities with just a whisper and yet writer made it less action and text heavy. And text heavy books I always love.This easily enters in my top 10 graphic novels. Or comic books. Or whatever it is called. Who cares. I just loved it.

I liked this very much since it had the same feeling of invention and grown up complexity of the excellent Superman 'Red Son'. The mixed bag of varied and very flawed superheroes called the Inhumans live in isolation in the domed city of Atillan, and are ruled over by a king so powerful that he can't speak in case his voice kills them all. As a result, Black Bolt is an enigma, trapped inside his thoughts and his intentions cloudy to his subjects, who can only take it on faith that he will do everything he can to keep them safe. With his insane brother raging in the dungeons, and a political 'underclass' of workers who have failed to successfully transform into superheroes and been left inferior, this is a complex and very adult tale even before the risk of conflict rears its head. Several of the character relationships are more damaged and deeper than expected, and although there are odd digressions (one chapter is largely told from the point of view of the dog for no apparent reason) it's constantly morally challenging and clever. The art is very good, the story very well told, and the characters are highly memorable. A very distinctive book that deserves a place on every graphic novel fan's shelves.

This book collects the Inhumans mini series which ran for twelve issues, written by Paul Jenkins and wonderfully illustrated by Jae Lee, whose talent is to turn line drawings into wonderful painted works of art. Different issues tell the on-going story from the perspective of an individual Inhuman, including the dog Lockjaw, and commences with a group of teenage Inhumans requiring to enter the terrigen mists so as to bring their powers to the full. But for all, it does not end well and the insane Maximus sees a way to usurp his brother, King Black Bolt, from his throne. Meanwhile, with Attilan nestled alongside Atlantis and under threat from armed human forces, it is inevitable that Prince Namor of Atlantis will make a cameo appearance. The story was fast pacing from cover to cover but it was the excellent artwork which really blew me away.

I've only heard about the Inhumans from Agents of Shield and then I saw them in Attilan from MUA3 on nintendo switch. I wasn't sure what quite to expect but this was a great story! You truly get a feel for the characters and it does go to a dark place. I fell in love with Black Bolt and his powers and his Queen, Medusa was incredible in this story. It portrays the Inhumans as a people with history, culture and incredible power. I really recommend it if you're interested in learning more about them.

I’ve heard mixed reviews for this story and just thought I’d take a chance on it, I’m ever so glad I did!While certain issues are lacklustre or at times dull, the artwork outshines them. The story itself is sound enough and you can really feel Maximus’ hatred towards Black Bolt at timesOverall I’m glad I picked up this comic. Fairly pricey but definitely worth it

Came in in great condition, great art and great story
