Agreed. The best issue of the series.
INHUMANS VS. X-MEN TIE-IN!
• Maximus the Mad has recreated the recipe for Terrigen Crystals, and can end the mutant-Inhuman war with a single stroke. He can finally be a hero!
• Or maybe he won't do anything like that at all.
• Everything changes for the Inhumans as Charles Soule brings his landmark three-year run on Inhumans titles to an end with this extra-sized story.
Rated T+
No critic ratings have been found for this issue.
Maximus did something. What he did who knows. Great way to end a series.
The last issue of UNCANNY INHUMANS also happens to be one of the best. Maximus is such a great character and Charles Soule writes him so, damn, well. UNCANNY INHUMANS#20 was a great issue with genuine, laugh at loud, moments.
SCORE:8.7
In his twisty mind, Maximus gets to be a big damn hero. It's clear to Triton and us that he's actually keeping the secrets of Terrigen close to his vest as an insurance policy. I knew very early on that this final arc was a ridiculous shaggy dog story, and the end goes over the top in an enjoyable way. There's a much-less-fun epilogue for the series that is suspiciously insistent about the Inhumans not *possibly* knowing their Terrigen would harm mutants, reminds everybody that the Skyspear nonsense from All-New Inhumans never got resolved, and proves that "glamorous royal court intrigue" is about the *last* content you should assign Kim Jacinto to draw.
Maximus was too cartoony
