This coming week will see the return of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, the little TV show
that nobody believed in, every one thought would fail, and then did exactly
that. Seriously, despite some
moderately decent word of mouth over season 2 Agents of SHIELD has done little more than jog in place for 2.5
season while occupying the least interesting space in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe. Maybe that’ll turn
around this coming half season but I seriously doubt.
Regardless, we’re not here to talk about Agents of SHIELD but rather the major
chunk of Marvel IP they’ve elected to squat on top of: the Inhumans. I’ve already pretty thoroughly explored
the Inhumans in previous articles so today isn’t going to cover much of their history
of character make-up but simply the history of great art that has informed the
group since its inception at the hands of all-time comic great Jack Kirby. So, let’s dive into the shallow end and
get the cover story on the Inhumans.
