All-New Inhumans #11

[superboyprime]

'One of the things we talked about was how Chris Claremont’s early years of X-Men started with them all being a different nationality in “Giant-Sized X-Men,” but then he dug in and gave them all back stories, real world views, and truly nuanced perspectives on the world. We loved those characters because we watched them grow deeper, face their first challenges, fall in love for the first time, experience heartbreak and disillusionment, and lose someone important to them. We lived their formative experiences with them. [Editor Nick Lowe] basically said to do that with these characters in whatever way you want. It’s been a joy to get to know them and destroy them.' - James Asmus

Is it just me, or does Luna seem awfully precocious for her apparent age? And I know it's been said before, but it still strikes me how obviously the ship's design is based on Star Trek's Voyager.

[arilou_skiff]

At least the front section yeah, then someone stuck a pagoda-mast on it and replaced the nacelles with windmills.

[owlbrigade1]

That is what happens when you let Neelix start auditing ship blueprints.

[lyricalswagger]

I like Luna being precocious.

Given who her parents are, she grows up fast, you know? Especially when she's in her element.

[icon_uk]

She was born in 1982, I'm not sure the phrase "grows up fast" has that much beating on her case.... Still an amateur compared to Franklin Richards of course, but so is anyone who isn't actually a product of the Golden Age.

*groan* Bad pun!

[burkeonthesly]

Two puns for the price of one, bravo!

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Still one of the best Inhumans stories I've read in, well, any time recent, that I can think of.

...I don't get why Crystal can't understand that she lost track of time, apparently, though.

[icon_uk]

She's been travelling around so much her internal bodyclock is all messed up?

[majingojira]

This was really fun.

But I still hate that the Braddock Academy is still a thing. That place, and almost everything related to it, is just terrible.

[wizardru]

It is? I honestly don't know much about it. I was under the assumption it was a place they practically invented just to get some teen heroes to throw in the meat grinder in that one series (Avengers...Arena? ) where they killed a bunch of teen heroes after someone watched too many showings of Battle Royale.

[majingojira]

It was, and the cast created for it was terrible by and large. The only good characters made by other writers for it (Kid Kopper, a one-panel gag character, and Magic Boots Mel, with the power of superhuman soccer). The creator of it portrayed it as a frankly terrible place with almost no rules enforcement of any kind (when a bully can get away with destroying another student's laptop to no repercussions, I'd say it's a terrible place).

Inhumans not being dicks? Someone pinch me!

Y'know, Crystal rescuing the mutants (and the whole Terrigen-kills-and-or-sterilizes-mutants thing) would be a lot more poignant if Pietro was still Magneto's kid and Luna a mutant/inhuman hybrid.

[glprime]

Really Crystal? You're gonna complain about Luna catching the royal family genes? Come on.

[goattoucher]

I'm sorry for not being up to speed, but why is Gorgon ambulatory again, and who is the tiny bodied minotaur he is tending to?

[obsidianwolf]

The tiny one is his son who didn't fare any better than his daughter did with him as a parent. He's able to walk again because the inhuman healer is using him as a test case to prove to him that she can save his son.
