Marvel Discusses What to Expect in Inumanity and Inhuman!

Posted on September 20, 2013 by Brett

Today, Marvel hosted their latest Next Big Thing live blog, this time about their next big upcoming event Inhumanity, Inhuman and the future of the Inhumans! On the chat was writer Matt Fraction who was joined by Axel Alonso and Nick Lowe.

Fraction kicked it off by stating:

This will be one of the moments where you can plant a flag and see a big change in the Marvel Universe.

Fraction continued that the Inhumans no longer get to hide anymore and they number more than we’ve ever known. He saw this as freedom as a writer to do different things with an entirely new situation.

The Inhumans are a race of super-powered beings; the Kree came to Earth, did a little genetic manipulation centuries ago, and created the Inhumans.

Axel chimed in saying that this story’s foreground is new characters who will be introduced and will be our eyes into this world. This is really the Marvel Universe as a whole discovering the Inhumans. Marvel says this is an exciting new angle, though it sounds a lot like Earth X, or when mutants seemed to be everywhere.

Fraction described their “coming out” as similar to humanity’s reactions to mutants, so are amazed and some are terrified. He promised a “really big saga.” While the events of this next “era” of Marvel spins out of Infinity, you don’t need to read that event to understand or enjoy it.

Fraction’s section of the story focuses on the royal family. Fraction and Olivier Coipel are the team behind the one-shot that kicks this off then Fraction and Joe Madureira will be the team behind Inhuman. You’ll also see events in Avengers Assemble and Indestructible Hulk where Bruce Banner will investigate an aspect of this.

What to expect becomes much clearer after Infinity #4. There is the main series Inhuman as well as a number of tie-ins in other ongoing series. Fraction said:

It felt new and kind of dangerous to go into new territory. It’s as close to a novel as I’ve ever done. You’re kind of writing the last page before you’re writing the first page so there’s a grand design.

Fraction describes it as a space opera/political novel. The discussion ended with the team saying they can’t wait for the public to see all of this which they’ve been teasing in various ways for the last couple of years.

Are You Inhuman?

Announced by Marvel a while ago, Inhumanity will spin out of the events of Infinity. They walk among us. All will be revealed, September 18^th!

Are you Inhuman?

Posted on July 12, 2013 by Brett

For decades, the Inhumans have lived sheltered and separate lives from the entire Marvel Universe, led by their fearless ruler, Black Bolt. But following the cataclysmic events of Infinity, Medusa, Karnak, Gorgon and Triton along with the rest of the Inhuman Royal Family ascend to the forefront of the Marvel Universe as major players as the world plunges into Inhumanity! Thousands of new Inhumans have powered up around the globe, leaving Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine and the rest of the Marvel Universe to react to this emerging new race of super-powerful, super-strange beings!

Marvel Editor In Chief Axel Alonso describes this as a “game changer.” Alonso explains

The Inhumans are here to stay, and there are lots of them,” explains Axel Alonso. Their emergence in the Marvel Universe –during and after Infinity– will be a game-changer. Who’s to say the planet is big enough for everyone?

Leading the charge on humanity’s bold new age comes the biggest series of 2014, Inhuman #1! From white-hot creative team of writer Matt Fraction and artist Joe Madureira, Inhuman rewrites the rules of the Marvel Universe. No truer words than “Among Us Hide the Inhumans” have ever been spoken, as Marvel explores what happens if you discover you are INHUMAN!?

Fraction explained:

The events of Infinity jumpstart a long-dormant genetic inhuman strain. It leads into a global crisis overnight — in the middle of, and coming out from, Infinity. The idea that there’s a secret super hero city, and I might belong there, was a hook that fascinated me. Inhuman means I’m telling small, human, intimate origin stories about new Inhuman characters, set against the grander story of the politics of a fragmented royal family battling one another for dominance. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done.

This Fall, the superhuman race takes an uncompromising leap as Inhumanity washes over the Marvel Universe with more heroes—and villains—than ever before!
