Good Writing... Check

Great Art... Check

New/Interesting Character.... Check

Crystal being a Badass.... Check^4

Can't wait for this.

@child_of_the_past: Me too I really been liking the Uncanny Inhumans also.

guess with that Future cover they gone Fck up some Muties....

@laabitres: What are you referring to?

A shameless X-Men rip-off.

I guess Swain and Gorgon are the new Jubilee and Wolverine.

@sprior93: What!?

Swain has a tail, is plus-sized, knows enough about old inhuman history/tradition that she bows to Gorgon and you think that makes her a teenage girl who shoots sparkles out of her hand and likes to go to the mall. Likewise Gorgon is in a crippled warrior and part of the inhuman Royal family he hasn't lost his memories, that fact that he's in a wheelchair shows he does have to ability to regenerate from any wound he doesn't frequently lose control and go into a berserker rage. Do you understand how ridiculous you sound? I really hope this is just a bad attempt at trolling.

@child_of_the_past:

A bombastic, stylish young woman.

A hirsute warrior with a gruff demeanor.

The inhuman versions of Jubilee and Wolverine; they go perfectly with their Gambit rip-off(Reader). It's sad that Soule needs to plagiarize other properties to make these characters interesting.

@sprior93: You really are delusional aren't you. Gorgon has been around for decades but yet only now he's a Wolverine ripoff. The descriptions you just used could be lobbied at other books as well, Saga and Rat Queens spring to mind as well as some DC books like Suicide Squad. As far as the Reader comparison goes, he's blind and can only use is powers three times a day. Blindspot from the Daredevil is a more apt comparison.

Seriously, you have to be trolling. You're blatantly ignoring all the details that make characters different and only focusing on the most generic of similarities.

It's just what I see, no need to throw out insults.

An anti-Inhuman protest lead by wannabe purifier bigots. Hmm, where have I read that before?

@sprior93: So after what many believe to be an act of terror, the creators of this book can't show that a bunch of radicals are pissed about it. As to where have you seen this before, the recent Cap series had the Serpent society do the same thing, Saga has done it a few times, the X-Men comics over-use it honestly, I mean we get it: Mutants represent every hated/disenfranchised group in the real world. That trope has been used so many times throughout the history of comics to claim that one group has exclusive rights over its use is absurd.

Speaking of name-calling, calling a writer a plagiarist is as about as bad as it get in this industry. I think you can honestly take the hyperbole down a few notches because it's completely unnecessary. You don't like the book because of your own biases and that's fine but don't go around making wild accusations about a creators credibility without sound proof to back up your claims. I don't think that's too much to ask.

@emers109: I think Soule's has been doing a great job with the Inhumans so far.

No, the hated/disenfranchised trope is synonymous with the X-Men. Soule playing the "feared and hated" angle with the Inhumans is incredibly contrived, and it's an obvious attempt to replace the mutants.

This preview read like a lazy, ad-libbed X-Men comic wrapped in pretty art(which will be gone by the fourth issue).

@sprior93: How is it contrived when the events leading up to it make sense. Terrigen Bomb goes off, lots of people die or are turn into Inhumans against their will, people react negatively to these things. The last series Soule wrote covered a lol of this and yet you act as if they made this all up yesterday. Mutants being hated and feared, at this point, Is easily one of the most contrived things in the MU. How are the mutants different than the FF or Avengers? Why is it that they are specifically targeted for hate crimes but Ben Grimm and She-Hulk can walk down the street with no issue. Hell Howard the Duck seem to have more liberties than the mutants and he isn't even human. The mutants have been hated and feared for years do to creative stagnation and Marvel not wanting to lose the money from the disenfranchised/hated in our own society. The mutants aren't any more or less special than any other super powered being in the MU and to argue otherwise would be argument of semantics.

This is the first freaking issue in a book that will be dealing with problems the Terrgigen cloud has caused. People are pissed about it and they're trying to solve it.

The fact that you keep ignoring my points is only confirming your overt bias and insecurity about these books.

This does look like a X-Men rip off.

@reuisu: that's because it is a Xmen rip off

I see the Complex is starting....

I'm out

@child_of_the_past: bye Felicia

lol the book is what it is, but man do i love Stefano Caselli's art!

@child_of_the_past: same here

So is Thane gonna appear? He technically is inhuman.

Looks to me like Disney is still looking for a way to end the X-Men franchise. Since it looks like FOX is unlikely to sell them back the movie rights anytime soon, they are trying to replace the Mutant Universe with the Inhumanity Universe. Good luck to that, it's going to be tough going. Being a long time X-Men fan, I hope they fail.

I love both so whatever. Why Dante isn't in this book with his friends and mentor (Gorgon)

@esparza3368: You do realize both "Universes" exist in the same place, right? No on is being replaced. If they were their are much easier and less overt ways of doing it. You people act as if there aren't any X-Men books on the shelves. Why is it impossible for you guys to believe both groups can coexist. Also Fox and Marvel just made a deal to coproduce two X-Men shows, Deadpool is featured in multiple books, and FF characters are one of the primary focuses of Secret Wars. Please explain to me how all those things could be happening while at the same time Marvel is trying to erase the characters from existence?

@sprior93: To me, right now where the X-Men are, saying that is the same as saying the X-Men are a Doom Patrol rip off... It's not about who did it first, it's about who's doing it best. Right now, for me, the X universe is off the boil and the Inhuman one is on it.

Is there a book there that show humanity as the good guys for once ? :D I mean it is always like '' We fear this, we hate that ''...

I don't under stand why everyone was pissed that the X men had too many books. But now there complaining where are all the X men books. I don't see all the hate because the Uncanny Inhumans is a pretty good book.

@wowlock: The heroes of any story are the ones we're supposed to relate to. All the other "normal" are just representations of whatever societal tendency the author feels is problematic.

@emers109: It doesn't matter how good or different the Inhuman books are because X-Men fans have convinced themselves that the Inhumans are the root cause for everything wrong with the X-Men.

I guess Mutants are not only feared.

@child_of_the_past:

Yes, they have too because the X-Men Universe is so popular. As long as us X-Men fans are still around and don't defect to the Avengers universe they have to keep the X-Men around.

All their efforts though are going toward the teams & characters that are outside the X-Men Universe. The Marvel staff for example said at Comic Con how they are not creating any new mutants because it would be FOX that owns the cinematic rights to them. Disney would love to get those rights back but as long as the X-Men make FOX money it won't happen.

Inhumanity serves first to bypass the problem of creating new characters. Second, its an attempt to eventually draw away the X-Men fans (same themes - persecution, sudden powers, etc). Third, if they can't get the rights back to the X-Men, they can cancel them down the road and have Inhumanity ready as the replacement.

Just clicked on this preview to see all the butthurt. Wasn't disappointed in the slightest. Maybe there will be some time in the future where an Inhuman thread or discussion isn't derailed by X-fans do I may not live long enough to see that day.

I am a X-fan by the way and don't care one bit about Inhumans but some X-fans give the whole fandom a bad reputation and it's sickening. Just vote with your wallet and move on.

Let the actual fans of the Inhumans actually discuss their stuff in peace for once. You wouldn't like it either if Avenger, Guardians of the Galaxy or Inhuman fans would constantly invade and derail threads or discussions about your stuff.

@esparza3368: The main point I was making was that the X-Men, Inhumans, Avengers etc. are all in the collective Marvel Universe.

Secondly, how are they hoping to steal X-Men fans using certain themes when those same themes are being still being heavily used in the current X-Books. If they wanted to make X-Men fans move to Inhuman books all they would have to do is cancel all the X-Books.

Reading Avengers or Inhumans shouldn't be viewed as "defecting", this isn't a war. Whether you buy X-Men books or Inhuman books Marvel will still make money. In fact it's just as likely that they are feeding into X-Fans paranoia so that they'll buy single issues as opposed to trades. Do you honestly think the writers at Marvel are unaware of the conspiracy theories being thrown around lol. If there was a conspiracy wouldn't you think they would do a better job of hiding it. Do you think Marvel doesn't know that the Fox is going to maintain the film rights to X-Men? Everybody knows that. Marvel knows they are never getting the film rights back for X-Men so if they were going to cancel the X-Men they could have done it during Secret Wars. Your logic starts to fall apart when you look at how things are currently set up. The X-Men have 5 books Deadpool alone is featured in at least three others, and various X-Men are heavily featured in other books. They aren't going anywhere you guys are letting your fears make you jump to irrational conclusions. Could you even imagine the backlash Marvel would face if they got rid of ever Mutant in the Marvel universe? If they did that they might as well stop printing comics because the media and fan backlash to a decision like that would probably cost them millions.

@child_of_the_past:

Perhaps we are being paranoid, but can you seriously blame us? No more new Mutant characters are to be created according to Marvel reps at Comic Con. Haven't authorized developed any new X-Men animated series nor authorized one by a third party since 2011. No new X-Men video game since 2005, last from that Universe (Deadpool) was in 2013.

All the fighting with Fox regarding the X-Men property. The games being played by both sides. The retcon of Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver. Death of Wolverine, and rumours of no more Logan for the foreseeable future.

Promotional material for the Secret Wars, in which all these heroes are battling it out but no X-Men. Inhumanity arc with numerous new powered beings on Earth. Using the word "Uncanny" in the Inhumans title. Going with the persecution theme of Inhumans. Come on

I think it's pretty understandable why Marvel doesn't want to create any new mutant. Why would anyone want to lose control of their own creative property. If you were creating a character, in which you may one day want to use in various mediums: films, television ect, would you create the character with a trait that would make you lose the ability to use them as you see fit. If Kamala Khan was a mutant Fox could could reap millions off her film rights. They also wouldn't have to treat the character in any kind of respectful way, ex Deadpool in Origins or Fant4stic. This way Marvel can create new and interesting characters without having to worry about some other company profiting off of their ideas and hard work. Whether a character is mutant is a mutant or inhuman should have no bearing on whether you like them. Kamala Khan wouldn't be any cooler if she was a mutant and she isn't less interesting/cool as an Inhuman.

As far as the covers go:

Both the Mutants and FF have been featured. The FF, also own by Fox, has not only taken center stage on may of the covers but also played a central in the Secret Wars story-line.

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch aren't Inhumans and, for the most part, still the same characters they've always been.

There really hasn't been any Marvel video game at least on consoles, since Deadpool, unless you count the Lego games.

No one is stopping you from supporting the X-Books. No one is going on every X-Men related article saying the Inhumans are better. Why do you and others feel the need to come on every Inhuman article or discussion and tell everyone for the thousandth time how much better the X-Men are or how Marvel cant replace them? Forgive me for saying this, but all sound extremely petty and insecure and you make me not want to support the X-Books, even though I grew up with them. Can you just let us enjoy the comics and characters (in this case Crystal) we like. Is that too much to ask for?

@sprior93:

You're not making one lick of sense.

Now the Inhumans are Xmen rip offs? Really? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say some of you don't know s**t about the Inhumans.

Imma take a wild guess and say that eventually we'll see some Inhuman killing Sentinels, then future versions of those Sentinels, then the whole existence of Inhuman-kind resting on the birth of one child...

the shit will happen with property rights and Marvel will have to find some other race of whatevers to make relevant

BOOM! Uncanny Eternals, All New Eternals, Eternals of Future Past, etc.

Nostradamus.. is that you??

@masterofevil: OH MY GOD you are awesome. WHERE THE HELL ARE THE ETERNALS!? NOBODY talks about them they don't show up.......UMMM are they all dead or in hiding what's going on?

In response to this thread nice book I lOVE the art and story Also I now see that humanity isn't accepting to the Inhumans because I don't know if anyone read, but in Uncanny Inhumans Spoilers it seems the media and the public are more accepting to inhumans than mutants and I don't get it. Also the Inhumans hate mutants HUH? WHY?

Why do the X-Men/Mutants have a monopoly on being discriminated and hated for who they are? It is a completely legitimate question. This isn't even a Mutant/Inhuman/Nuhuman thing, I mean all people with powers and what not.There are all kinds of supers in the Marvel Universe, shouldn't they all be hated and feared by the public? There are people that walk around with mystic powers, chi abilities, gamma radiated powers, genetic modifications, super high tech suits, not to mention aliens, monsters, and gods. All are just as dangerous and all are just as easily hidden in the public if you don't look to closely. I mean to me, someone as powerful as Thor should just as feared if not more feared than Storm. You know what I mean? People would and should be scared of the Fanastic Four and Avengers just as much as the X-Men and Inhumans.

@lb70145:

Threat of extinction.

Mutants are the next step in evolution; they make humans obsolete. They're just people who are born different, and they have their own agenda and aspirations. They're an obvious allegory for real world minorities, and the irrational, baseless hatred directed at these groups.

Superheroes, for the most part, are there to serve the public, and to make them feel safe and secure. Guys like Captain America, Spider-Man and Daredevil have a clearly defined purpose that involves protecting people, not replacing them.

Superheroes maintain the status quo, while mutants threaten it.

I agree with you there the humans are afraid that they will be pushed aside and become extinct, but really if I was a human and i'm throwing things at a mutant that can rearrange my insides? Yeah that's not a good idea. LOL

Also IF the Public found out that Captain America, Spider-man or Daredevil were Mutants then they would have a problem. Just looking at the whole Superhero community you can say any one of them can easily be labeled a Mutant. We as readers know they are not, but to the public the people are clueless they can't tell the difference. Which it so funny they are STILL afraid of mutants, but an Alien Invasion or Cosmic God is fine LOL

@stormphoenix: Many mutants have subtle mutations, not all of them can move mountains or control minds.

A lot of heroes have public identities, so people know if they're human, alien or a god. Also, they serve the public, while most mutants simply live among us.

I feel I've given plausible reasons for the mutant bias, but they're admittedly not wholly convincing, and I think that actually serves my point. Humans are often irrational, especially when it comes to their prejudices: "People fear what they don't understand"

You might react well to Cap beating up Nazis, or Spider-Man saving you from a mugger, but what if your son starts growing scales when he hits puberty, or a mutant terrorist assassinates a politician on TV? It's easy to see where the fear and hatred surrounding mutants comes from.

@sprior93: As much as I understand the Mutant as Minority thing, I think it is also a somewhat insensitive and ridiculous comparison. If someone hates someone based on skin color, religion, or sexual orientation of course it is irrational. But Mutants? They can be super dangerous, though I understand people can be dangerous too. Give anyone access to weapons, guns, explosives, etc they can do a lot of damage, but powers can't necessarily be separated from a powered individual. Granted, there are some that use their powers for good, some that just live life, and those that use them to commit crime, but it doesn't change that someone that can actually walk through walls or turn into living energy is genuinely a danger to others if left unchecked. So I don't really blame people for fearing Mutants or NuHumans, but that is why not fearing other Supers is problematic. IF it purely based on the danger potential, which I feel is how it has always been portrayed. If someone sees Mutant or NuHuman on the same level as being Asian or Jewish or Trans and hate just because they are different, those people are truly being irrational.

That's why it just always bothers me that X-Men/Mutants get the crappy end of the stick all the time and basically no one else does. Where are the hardcore religious folks protesting Thor for calling himself a god? Or Anti-AI scientists calling for the deactivation of the Vision? I felt they tried to make the playing field more even among the superhero community with Civil War and Secret Invasion in terms of negative attention towards supers, but after those events nothing has really stuck. And at the very least, I feel with the X-Men having been around as long as they have, the public sentiment would have changed at least a little (which I feel it was for a little while).

Kieron Gillen had blogged about this image long ago and what always stuck with me is that with each side of the triangle/point of view, there should be push back by an opposing group. The X-Men are trying to change society by being humanitarians and teachers, defined by social progress. The FF is trying to better society by being explorers and scientists, defined by what they discover. The Avengers are trying to maintain society by being its sword and shield, defined by who they fight. And I feel that each group should have opposition. Bigots and Zealots oppose the X-Men/Mutant kind no matter how much good they do. But the FF and Avengers don't really get that kind of opposition. There should be people that feel that FF are messing with forces not meant for man (the FF's actions has brought Earth's near destruction many times) and that they should fix problems on Earth before looking to other worlds (thus the trope Reed Richards is Useless). There should be people who feel that the Avengers if left unchecked can become authoritarian (which kind of happened during Time Runs Out). I don't know maybe I am expecting too much from Marvel and maybe I am looking waaaay to deep into this, but this aspect has always made the "Humanity hates and fears mutants!" thing make me eye roll.

@lb70145: Nice example I like the triangle and it makes sense really, but as sprior93 said "people fear what they don't understand" I do agree with you also I find it hilarious that the FF and Avengers are left unchecked, but I guess that's why we have S.H.E.I.L.D? But OH NO we MUST keep tabs on those darn mutants. Though you know what I find irritating is that even some of the Super Heroes hate mutants if i'm not mistaken I think Hawkeye is one of them and Maria Hill *correct me if i'm wrong* Do you know HOW many Avengers there are? They themselves are a WHOLE army within itself that can easily take over the world if they felt like it there is no Government alive that would stop the Avengers, but again those Darn mutants be-careful around them.

@sprior93: Oh no you give a great example and I do agree with you on all points. Though really you can say the same for the other heroes if Thor killed the president on Tv the people would want him thrown in jail or stopped etc.

To the both of you guys now do you both know what's crazy the Inhumans themselves are treating mutants like they are a plague and a dangerous people seriously are you kidding me!? If I was a mutant I would LOVE to be an X-Men, but I see myself siding with Cyclops because I can take the prejudice from a human, but an Inhuman!? HECK NO i'm cracking some heads. LOL

Not sure about Hawkeye (but it would stupid if it was true), but Maria Hill does not hate mutants. I think she finds them more of an annoyance because SHIELD has to deal with Mutant issues a lot while she has been in charge (since she has been in charge basically since House of M if I am not mistaken), but I do not believe she is actually bigoted against them. One of the reasons she hires Dazzler as a SHIELD liaison during the recent Uncanny X-Men run, was because she wants to make Mutants as comfortable as possible when answering Mutant related calls. Understanding government agents can be really intimidating. So she does care about how she interacts with the Mutant community. But yeah I agree with your sentiment. There are so many powered individuals that it is hard to justify targeting a specific group for discrimination. There are tons of magic users, gamma irradiated folks, and aliens to be just as concerned about.

As for the In/Nuhumans treating Mutants like the plague, I believe the Terrigen Cloud is causing Mutants to develop a disease/sickness being called M-Pox in universe. I think to a certain degree Mutants exposed to NuHumans and vice versa can cause the disease/sickness to manifest as well, and if I remember correctly, M-Pox can affect In/NuHuman, Mutant, and regular humans alike. I assume this is a editorial thing in order to give people a reason to hate/discriminate against mutants (again) as if people did not have enough fears attributed to mutants. Not to mention further agitating the In/NuHumans, X-Men/Mutants, and everyone else against one another.

@stormphoenix: Who said the Inhumans hate mutants? Did I miss something?
