• We know Black Bolt and Maximus have been involved with the New Avengers' activities, but that's not close to the whole story.
• The Boltagon brothers are in trouble and we at the House of Ideas know it ends very badly for one of them!
Rated T+
Inhuman #8 is a great issue in a series that only continues to gain more traction issue to issue. Soule is the perfect writer for this series, embedding his scripts with humor, character, treachery, danger, and most of all, heart. This remains one of my favorite titles month to month and here's hoping the streak continues to persevere. Read Full Review
I'll admit that I still find the quick paced nature of this book jarring since there's so much opportunity to dig into things, but part of me just is secretly hoping that Soule will put all that expansion and in-depth look at the workings of the series into novel form so we can really sink our teeth into it. That said, a two issue "arc" dealing with what happened to Black Bolt after the Terrigen bomb incident is intriguing in its own right and it looks like we've unlocked a few new things along the way. Frank is definitely a great addition, one I hope gets used well going forward, and it was nice to see Gabby again briefly as well as Dante. For me, the seller is watching Maximus and his way of doing things while being very curious about what Black Bolt will be up to next. Read Full Review
In conclusion, this is a very entertaining issue. I've loved this series from the start, but I'd have to say this was my favourite issue. It wasn't anything incredibly special, but it was the most entertaining of the 8 issues out so far. Read Full Review
Charles Soule has spent a fair amount of time building his characters and their world, and in issue #8 said characterization begins to pay dividends. We're finally starting to see the book's many pieces come into play, and while the larger narrative is still a bit too loose for its own good, Soule's engaging script and solid character work prove enough to continue vested interest.

Black Bolt was just what this series needed. Next time the book will tie into Axis, so I'm not sure whether the main story will have an impact regarding that.
Finally a good issue
