Secret Invasion Inhumans #1 (OF 4)
/cover-large.jpg)
Spinning directly out of SECRET INVASION - the hunt for Black Bolt begins! You learned that he was replaced by the Skrulls in New Avengers: Illuminati, now it's time to find out if the Inhumans' former king is dead or alive! How will the loss of their leader tear apart the Royal Family? Can the mighty monarch recover from this personal blow - that is, if he's even still living? And how far will Medusa, Crystal, Triton, Karnak and Gorgon go to find their disposed king? Writer Joe Pokaski (TV's Heroes) and artist Tom Raney (Annihilation: Conquest) unite for an adventure that not only expands the events of this year's biggest story, but will lead to huge events in 2009!

I know he is one of the main writters over at the Heroes TV show, I am looking forward to this mini, it may also lead into that war of the kings or whatever that cross over is that has the Shiar vs the inhumans

one of the other news sites had a review of this vs x-men & thor ranking them as what was the best spin off for SI and this won hands down, that being said the x-men one is some what weak based soley on that review.

This did a very good job of setting up the story and introducing these characters to people (such as myself) who don't have much experience with them. Solid book.

wow a somewhat coherent story of the Inhumans. What's really interested me is that, more or less, for the past 4 years, we've only seen the Inhumans in event-Tie in books and X-Factor. (House of M, Son of M, WWH, Civil War, and now here.) But it's been a fairly straight story, so I give Mr. Pokaski a lot of credit for this.
All told, Runaways/Young Avengers and Thor were the better tie-ins than Inhumans or X-Men for me. But this was a strong 3rd.

The Skrulls using Black Bolt as a weapon. It's genius in it's simplicity.

This was my favorite dedicated tie-in (not counting Hercules, Ms. Marvel, Captain Britain, since they are ongoing). My faves:
1. Inhumans
2. Thor
3. X-Men (a distant third)
Worst:
X-Factor

Good thing i didn't know that Pokaski was a Heroes writer before I picked this up. My last experience with a Heroes writer doing comics (see Ultimate X-Men) really put me off of the whole TV writer-to-comics thing, but now that I've read this thread, I'm somewhat reassured.
PS: I loooove Heroes! Also, can we talk about how freaking awesome Tom Raney's art is?

This was good, but I had trouble with the fact that it wasn't as awesome as Silent War. Totally unfair, I know, considering that the art in this book is really nice.
Overall, though, I'm glad I'm buying this.
