G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #208

"I believe there is something inherently fascist about super-heroes. After all, they are better than the rest of us and putting themselves above the law to do something about it. A soldier is bound by a code of conduct, international law, and hopefully, honor." - Larry Hama

Fantastic Four #12 - "East of Eden, Part Four"

"Sometimes when a new writer comes onto a book, they pretend nothing happened on the book before they came to it. That definitely won't be the case here. For me, the comics medium is about building on the lore of the creators who came before us and what they put into those characters. So while Leonard and my run will be a new direction, there will be points that hinge around events that occurred in Hickman’s run, Matt Fraction’s run, and even reference and touch on earlier runs and adventures in ways that might surprise you." -- James Robinson

Now there's going to be an Uncanny Inhumans title

Marvel is giving the Inhumans another title, "Uncanny Inhumans," from Soule and McNiven.

IGN: The use of the "uncanny" adjective is quite interesting, as it was originally used with the X-Men. In a way, it feels like Marvel has been pushing the Inhumans to be the new X-Men of the Marvel U, and this title certainly reinforces that idea. How did you land on the title of Uncanny Inhumans?

Soule: Uncanny has been used in the Marvel Universe to refer to a number of different books - I mean, there's Uncanny Avengers, and others. I wouldn't read too much more into it than that - uncanny just means strange, really, or unexpected. I think the Inhumans are certainly that.

Of course, the reason why they were called the Uncanny Avengers is because the team was originally supposed to be a combo of the Avengers and the X-Men (though that theme seems to have been dropped with the relaunch, with Rogue being the only X-Man still on the team unless you want to be generous and count Sabretooth too).
