This isn't just a great Inhumans comic, it's simply a great comic. Read Full Review
Bentley the Wizard grows increasingly suspicious, Medusa spats with Elisha, and we get a lovely peek into the boyhood of Karnak and Triton. Phil Noto's art remains beautiful and this issue is plotted and characterized quite well. But Christopher Priest is intentionally mangling a lot of dialogue (especially Black Bolt's and Medusa's) to emphasize how alien and royal the speakers are. It's both unpleasant and contrived, and there are countless ways to achieve a similar effect that don't sound like fingernails on a blackboard. It's the one ham-handed technique deployed in a book that's otherwise remarkable for its subtlety.
