Secret Invasion: Inhumans #2 cover. Also shown: Crystal and Medusa being bad asses.

With the slew of Secret Invasion titles that came out this week (the same thing happened last month) I picked this issue to do a full review on because I liked it the most. Really. Then again, I’ve always wanted more and more and more of the Inhumans, so that may be why I liked this Secret Invasion tie-in the most. Even still, it’s pretty much amazing. I can’t find a flaw in this issue, and if you can, let me know.

This month’s issue pushes some boundaries. It slaps you in the head. looks you in the eye and says, “See, this invasion is some serious shit.” This isn’t fun and games like Young Avengers/Runaways or Power Pack, this is the invasion of an entire society covering every inch and every person. This invasion of Attilan could honestly mean the end of the Inhumans. It’s not like the invasion of Earth where humans/mutants/whatever will still be around, no, this could destroy the Inhumans. With that said, I’d like to take you into this month’s story and give you some of my predictions for Secret Invasion that have a lot to do with this series, and more specifically, the Inhumans.

Secret Invasion: Inhumans cover

Holy ba-jeezus guys. This week is cram-packed with FIVE Secret Invasion titles and of all of them, I’ve decided to start with Secret Invasion: Inhumans #1. Boy-oh-boy this first issue is one that had me turning pages at near-rip-rate.

The last time we heard from the Inhumans, as a people not just Black Bolt, was in Silent War–a six-issue mini-series depicting exactly what happens when you mess with the Inhumans. The story begins in the aftermath of House Of M (Decimation) where Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff) gets away with the Inhumans’ source of power: the Terrigen crystals. Now, the Inhumans aren’t too happy with good ol’ Pietro and deicde to come after him. This ends up in a full scale war between the United States government and the Inhumans. The ending is simply this: Black Bolt loses this war in the eyes of his people and his brother Maximus becomes king of the Inhumans.

From here, we see Black Bolt a few more times in New Avengers: The Illuminati and in the most recent (I assume the last issue involving this whole group) Black Bolt is found to be a Skrull! And this is where Secret Invasion: Inhumans begins.
