In the wake of the awesome events of IVX - what will become of the Inhumans? In this oversized special issue - the trial of Maximus! The coming of Marvel Boy! And what is the dark secret of Black Bolt? A special bridging issue between the past of the Inhumans and their future - on Earth and in the stars!
Rated T+
Overall, Inhumans Prime sets up the Inhuman line with intriguing mysteries, allows the Inhumans to move from a well written (largely) but controversial time to a time when they can maybe finally be total heroes without causing the displacement of others, and presents a potentially exciting time of exploration and adventures to come. Setting up almost all the series of the line to come, and itself a great read with stunning art. Read Full Review
A fun story in it's own right, and one that makes a great case for following the adventures of the many different Inhumans. Read Full Review
Inhumans Prime #1 is a great welcome back issue to Inhumans proper – Medusa and Black Bolt together, and it's a united Inhumans taking on the future. There are a lot of good things to look forward to from this series and it is sure to attract plenty of new readers, especially with the TV show on horizon. This book crams a lot of action and story into a solid first issue, while still leaving time for some favorite characters like Reader and Karnak to have some page time. Inhumans Prime #1 is agreat read for existing Inhuman fans and new readers, this book does a solid job to re-introduce fan favorite characters while also building a future with some new ones.

A solid bridge issue that wraps things up and sets up new stories. Read Full Review
Inhumans Prime absolutely sets up the future and does so in a way that it doesn't feel like a series of blunt short stories leading into their new series. Instead the comic is filled with hints and teases as to what's coming and does so in a way that it too tells a complete story that can be read as a one-shot. Read Full Review
Writer Al Ewing covers a lot of ground here, proving right away that his voice is a great fit for the franchise. He brings a strong sense of humor to offset the general doom and gloom plaguing the team. Read Full Review
Inhumans Prime #1 tied up some loose threads while showing the new direction for the Inhumans going forward. I'm not sure what long time Inhumans fans will think, but this new one got enough out of this to want more. Read Full Review
Overall, this was a decent one-shot. If this book is any indication, upcoming Inhumans stories might be interesting rides. Get hyped for the next era of Inhuman books. Read Full Review
Inhumans: Prime #1 is a fine start to the "Inhumans-verse," even if it doesn't step too far outside of its comfort zone. Read Full Review
I have no clue what lies ahead for the Royal family and what this issue means for the Inhumans as a whole. Read Full Review
Inhumans Prime #1 is a very, very soft reset for the Inhumans line. It puts some familiar pieces in slightly unfamiliar circumstances and it puts forward the idea that without the Terrigen mists, this may be the last generation of Inhumans. They’re now a race that faces imminent extinction, at least as far as having superpowers goes. That’s not unlike the X-Men’s status quo post-M-Day. It remains to be seen if a quality story can be built on this foundation, but at least Marvel has acknowledged that they need to make the Inhumans somewhat more unique. The less-is-more approach should help them refocus. As for this issue, it’s does a mediocre job of bridging the gaps because more of these plot points will be repeated in individual titles moving forward. Read Full Review
SCORE: 7.8
I've never read an Inhumans comic-book and I'm really excited for the upcoming Black Bolt series, so I decided to get this issue. I wasn't let down. It does a great job at introducing the characters and the status quo without being too dull or clumsy, but it sets up only the Royals series. I wish I had gotten a glimpse at Black Bolt or New Warriors. Anyway, the most interesting point I learnt is Black Bolt's complete name, and now I will never see him the same way. It's the silliest thing ever and I love it!
Solid
Im interested in what Max said to Black Bolt. And I am really hoping that the Royals series continues to progress and keep up the action.
The Inhumans track down Maximus, sock him in prison, and shift closer to a democracy. This is Al Ewing's launchpad for the upcoming Royals title, and it demonstrates some great and less-great ideas. I love adding Marvel Boy to the mix and he's got a great angle on the Inhumans' situation. I also love bringing Swain back onto center stage. The parade of mediocre artists cripples this book. None of them are standouts, and the constant stylistic shifts dragged my attention back to the mediocrity over and over. The artist carousel knocked at least two points off my rating - possibly more.
First Inhumans book I've ever read. Didn't grab me.
If you are not someone that has not been reading the Inhumans series, picking up this title as a starting point would not be a good idea. While there is a small attempt to establish the world of the Inhumans it falls short of giving you a full picture. We do not get an idea why Inhumans are fighting among themselves. We see the royal family renounce their position as monarchs in favor of a democratic government with no establishment what the royal family is. There is also no clear picture as to why the royal family is leaving their position and why they are going, instead leaving it a mystery to be solved. It could be part of the vague comment about Maximus being sent to deep space. It could also be about the lack of Terrigen on Earth. The more
