[Secret Wars] Inhumans: Attilan Rising #3: "Whispers of Defiance"

[superboyprime]

'The basic idea involves a resistance movement in Battleworld that's trying to help people who need aid of one sort or another. It's led by Black Bolt -- although he's different than we're used to seeing him. The person assigned to bring him down is Medusa. In most Inhuman stories, they are husband and wife, so we're already looking at a very interesting dynamic. The story has a "life during wartime" vibe, with some hints of "Casablanca."' - Charles Soule

This seems very well written, just not well written enough for me to be interested in the Inhuman royal family.

They're still not all that fascinating; I suspect because they exist in a world crammed with superbeings already. Perhaps Marvel might have been wiser to go with a model more akin to the original "Eternals" series by Jack Kirby, imagining the Inhumans arising in a world not unlike our own.

The Inhumans have been in the Marvel Universe for years even before it was "crammed full of superbeings".

[captainbellman]

But they're trying to make them popular *now*.

I've always thought Soule's Inhuman was pretty good, though a lot of people don't feel that way. Different tastes.

You're loss slick, this book and Soule's run on Inhumans in general has been great.

That last panel is just beautiful, Medusa looks so badass. I always liked her more than Black Bolt.

The onlu context U have being that Balck Bolt was written to do many a dickish thing with the Illuminati and in Infinity, Medusa still seems like kind of a jerk. Is there any other reason why she's breaking up his quaint bar?

[thehood]

No, it's because i've always liked Medusa more than Black Bolt, but thanks for being presumptuous.

Anyway, here in Battleworld, Medusa attacked Black Bolt because he's some kind of rebel leader.
