Uncanny Inhumans #18

[superboyprime]

"A lot of times with big events, big story events, the central conflict or the heart of it isn't always, you know... Perhaps I shouldn't be saying this but it's not always incredibly resonant. Sometimes it feels like some cosmic thing has popped up and everybody's got to fight and sort of deal with it. I think I Vs. X as its heart, you know, it's a survival issue for both sides. You totally understand why each side would go to the mat on this. And so it becomes there's an emotional core to every single scene. Whether it's Inhumans or X-Men or whatever's going on, you know at their heart why people are behaving the way they're behaving, even when they're doing terrible things." - Charles Soule

This is the first I've seen of the Inhumans. It actually looks pretty good! Maximus seems like an interesting villain - probably because he's not monologuing, and just comes across like a spoiled child. And I really like the premise of Lineage's power.
Is the comic as a whole pretty good? I always loved the X-Men, but fell out of the comics when they kept meeting aliens and doing ridiculous time travel stories and stuff about parallel timelines.

I don't like the Inhumans in general, but I thought this one story was pretty decent. Maximus is certainly the spotlight here.

I'm gonna assume that something happens as a result of this which measn the ability to synthssise Terrigen is no longer an option, given that "not wanting to destroy the only source of terrigenesis on Earth" was the entire premise of IvX.

Maximus still knows how but won't tell anyone, and he put the last of what he had into a, well, giant robot sword. Things got weird.

Except the mutants were actually dying, the Inhumans just had "muh culture" on their side.
