Somehow, I seem to have inserted myself onto the Marvel “Friends and Family” list for preview screenings. A few weeks ago I got an advance look at The Defenders in a small screening room with about 25 people. On Monday, I went to an IMAX showing of The Inhumans with an audience of several hundred.
The environment in which I see a film influences the way I feel about it. I love going to screenings because they make me feel cool and sophisticated. The Defenders event was in the morning, with a group that included people I’d known for decades, in comfy chairs with excellent sight lines. The Inhumans was in an enormous theater, with an enormous screen, and hundreds of strangers (although there were some people I knew, including a new friend, an old friend and a really old friend.

The Inhumans are an odd bunch. While making my way over to Honolulu, Hawaii to visit the set of the latest Marvel show along with other bloggers and reporters, I enjoyed the oddities of Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee‘s take on Marvel’s Royal family midair. Perhaps it wouldn’t translate to the most accessible or financially responsible series, […]

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen quite a few images from the Hawaii set of Marvel and ABC’s Inhumans find their way online, providing fans with first glimpses of several of the main characters we’ll be meeting when the series kicks off this September. Though the likes of Black Bolt, Medusa and Gorgon did somewhat resemble their comic book counterparts in terms of costume colors, many took issue with how… well, how human most of them looked. As it turns out, though, there might well be a reasonable explanation for this.
ABC has released a brief, but revealing new plot synopsis for the show, which makes it very clear that Black Bolt and the other members of the Royal Family will be relocating to earth almost immediately after the pilot gets underway. This most likely explains why the characters are garbed in more civilian-looking attire in the photos.

I started writing a weekly column here at ComicMix a year ago today. The past year I’ve given my thoughts on a number of issues focusing in particular on diversity in comics. Those issues have often involved Lgbtq representation. I’m going use this column to highlight some of the topics I’ve covered, see if anything has changed or if any predictions I had made turned out to be true and maybe add in an anecdote or two.
The second column I wrote for ComicMix was about Coagula, DC Comics first and only trans superhero. A lot has happened this past year as far as Coagula is concerned. She went from being an obscure character created by Rachel Pollack from a still uncollected run of Doom Patrol, a long cancelled series with seemingly little hope of being brought back as a monthly comic to being the flagship title...

Replica #1
Writer: Paul Jenkins
Artist: Andy Clarke
Colorist: Marcelo Maiolo
Publisher: Aftershock Comics
Price: $4
Click Here For Preview
There’s no shortage of sci fi comics out there right now, all jostling for attention with their own unique take on classic concepts; parallel universes, time travel, clones, space travel, etc. There’s new debuts every month and it’s nearly impossible to keep up. A brand new publisher, Afteshock, looks to make their mark with the help of Paul Jenkins, who won an Eisner for his breakthrough 1999 Inhumans mini-series that brought that particularly niche class of superheroes into the spotlight. The artist, Andy Clarke, cut his teeth in the pages of 2000 Ad, which means you know he’s a badass. But greater stars have tried to make their home in the sci-fi comic world but found themselves overlooked. With a title as embarrassingly bland as Replica, can the series hope to do otherwise?...

Published by Marvel Comics
“While we appreciate the support…it is nonetheless conditional. As seems to be the case with every human good deed.”
-Mendicus (Inhumans Vol. 2, Issue 5)
“From diversity comes equality”. A simple concept that stands in direct contrast to the term “Separate but equal”, and a concept that governs every facet of life according to the Inhumans. From the very beginning of Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee’s Inhumans, readers are immediately thrust into a genocracy governed by genealogy and phenotypical expression. The home of these strange beings with irresistible power is known as Attilan, an island nation ruled by the ever-silent Black Bolt and his inner cabinet, composed of his family. Together, they preside over their race of Inhumans, an offshoot of Homo sapiens,...

Marvel’s Inhumans are set to make a comeback this December, EW’s Popwatch have confirmed.
The Inhumans, ancient superpowered beings created through alien experimentation, are a secret superhero royal family led by their king, Black Bolt, whose supersonic voice is so destructive that he never speaks. Created by Marvel legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the 1960s, the Inhumans will be brought back this December in the wake of the current Marvel Event, Infinity, by star writer Matt Fraction.
A key proponent to the Inhumans’ powers is exposure to the Terrigen Mist, a mysterious gas that activates Inhuman DNA in those who possess it, giving that person super strength, speed, long life, and other powers. At the end of Infinity, the Terrigen Mists will be released across Earth, potentially creating millions of new Inhumans in ordinary people unaware that their ancestors once belonged to the Inhuman bloodline.

It's a good thing that Marvel's motion comics continue to exceed expectations and bring some of the best comic book story arcs to life, because at the rate Marvel is cancelling some of their best animated series (like Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes) and replacing them with garbage, they'd have very little to celebrate digitally outside of their live-action films (like the inevitably successful Iron Man 3). The latest motion comic adaptation from the Marvel Knights Animation line is Inhumans, one of Marvel's lesser known properties that has stories every bit as deserving of attention as the more lauded X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man franchises. This particular story was the reimagining of the Inhumans by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee who placed them smack dab in the middle of the modern political circus as Black Bolt and his brother Maximus the Mad square off to see who's truly going to be...

The Inhumans were one of the last great creations by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Beginning with Medusa, introduced in Fantastic Four #36 in 1965, the full complement showed up nine months later. They were another branch of humanity, although it was a long time before readers learned the full story, especially as succeeding writers found new ways to tie them in to the evolving Marvel Universe cosmology. They were a fascinating, colorful bunch but each time they received their own series, it never quite caught on. Still, that hasn’t stopped people from trying, including Paul Jenkins who brought a radical approach to the race for the fourth attempt in 2003. His twelve issue maxiseries was drawn by Jae Lee, propelling him into the spotlight.
Jenkins focused on what the societal structure of Attilan, must be like. We knew previously of Black Bolt and the royal family, but we also came to...

Great fins of Namor! Cinelinx takes in the new Marvel Knights Inhumans motion comic DVD!
The Set-up
When the kingdom of Attilan comes under attack, Black Bolt, leader of the Inhumans, must decide how to save his people from annihilation. Based on the Marvel comic.series written by Paul Jenkins and featuring art by Jae Lee.
The Delivery
Marvel's motion comics never fail to impress me by pumping life (and a fair amount of action) into the comic art of some of their best books. Their latest offering, Inhumans, is a bit of an odd choice. It isn't nearly as popular as the X-Men titles they usually cover, and only hard-core fans will be able to name any of the characters.
However, Inhumans has two big things going for it: the incredible art of Jae Lee and a solid story from Paul Jenkins. This motion comic version brings to life...
