If you are even slightly interested in the age-old race of the Inhumans, and you want a great Secret Invasion tie-in, this gets my highest recommendation. Read Full Review

But I have a hard time recommending it to any non-Inhumanitarian. I still can't shake the feeling that the important pieces of the Inhumans story lie elsewhere in the miniseries. Likable filler, but filler just the same. Read Full Review
