Inhumans
Warning : SPOILERS forDeath of the Inhumans#1
Marvel defecate good on its hope to start killing off theInhumans , set out with three member of the Royal Family . Once upon a time , Marvel envisioned the Inhumans as the next big group of mutate someone . The comics saw a undulation of NuHumans come thanks to a Terrigen Bomb , Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.built many of its season around the idea after introduce Inhumans to the MCU , and Phase 3 was intend to cease with a film focusing on the Royal Family .
But after a move to TV , the show gave the MCU their first real flop andABC officially cancelledInhumansearlier this year . On the comic side , the role are still going strong , though titles bear their name have dramatically lessen in the past few geezerhood . In March , Marvel announcedDeath of the Inhumans , teasing the possibility that the Royal Family might be pass over out and only a handful of reference would live .
And while funnies seldom let a death peg for longsighted , the first issue of the new serial publication is at least living up to its name .
Death of the Inhumansby Donny Cates and Ariel Olivetti kicks off recapping the preceding few age of the Inhumans in the comics . Essentially , the Kree experimented on various raceway then abandon them upon learning of a prophecy that Black Bolt would wipe them out . Now , with their macrocosm soak up in state of war , the Kree are killing off the Inhumans . The queens of the four other intergalactic tribes are all fleetly eliminated , undo much of the set - up for the recent comics . And when the Royal Family goes to investigate , a bomb kills Triton . But that ’s just the first .
We meet a new " super - Inhuman " named Vox , who looks like an malefic Black Bolt . He not only possesses a hi - technical school scythe , but the vocal powers of his lookalike . Landing in the current home of the Inhumans , he begin killing characters , with NuHuman Flagman the only visible casualty . But when Lockjaw bring the other royals to Maximus ' aide-de-camp , we see the loveable heel and Black Bolt ’s unhinged brother pay the ultimate price .
While Marvel has done a fewDeath of … events in the past that are in the end reversed ( see the current resurrection of Wolverine ) , the Inhumans are in a slippery patch . Their show failed , there ’s no sign they ’ll come out in the movies , and Marvel ’s push to make them bigger in the comics has n’t exactly mirrored the success of the X - Men . And speaking of the variation , theimpending Disney / Fox dealmeans they could before long join the MCU along with the Fantastic Four .
Marvel is hyping the return of the Fantastic Fourin some big way , and the X - Men have never gone anywhere in the comic strip . So there ’s a chance Marvel are cut down the Inhumans so as to further labor the First Family and variation as they machinate to bring them to the big concealment . Then again , it ’s hard to conceive of the loveable Lockjaw in truth being gone from the comics , so we could still find all of this as a gambit to prune out some NuHumans and bring some attending back to the Royal Family .
After all , Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward ’s recentBlack Boltseries was one of Marvel ’s most critically acclaimed . In the end , it ’s unbelievable the Inhumans will endure a major set back , but lover could be saying a lasting goodbye to some characters .
