Comics Rainbow is a project I’ve been meaning to start for
awhile now and given that Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D. has returned to cement Marvel’s incredibly ill-informed
infatuation with the Inhumans I might as well dive in. The idea behind Comics Rainbow is basically
that I wanted another weekly article to produce and this is something I can do
several weeks in advance. The
other major factor was getting the chance to rip-off Reading Rainbow’s name because the combination was too obvious not
make. As for actual content this
is mostly meant as a beginners guide to a characters, story lines, and
interpretations.
Each week it’ll be some new topical city that I’ll breakdown
through my spectrum of criticism. Red
is for stuff everyone hates, orange is personal favorites, yellow is for stuff
I think is terrible but everyone loves, green is objective good, blue is
something I like but everyone hates, indigo is well intentioned but flawed, and
violet is universally loved.
Occasionally I’ll also work white and black in there if
there are other points I’d want to make but the 7 major colors will be here
every week. Like I said, it’s an
introduction point for new fans who don’t have the time to just jump in on
consensus. This week I’m taking a
look at the Inhumans, a hidden non-human race on Earth with a history so dense
it’ll probably warrant a full article of its own. For now I’m just going to be aggressively focusing on the
Inhuman Royal Family, the characters who make up the corp of this brand and
will probably be showing up in the movie Marvel are still insisting they’ll
make.
