See, I've always thought that they were a monstrous creation, an absolute monarchy built on eugenics, with a permanent genetic underclass enslaved to make the trains run on time while the haughty royal family sits around opining how superior they are while occasionally going into space to commit genocide. A really repulsive concept, top to bottom.
Of course, matters aren't help by Marvel's constant attempts to shove the Inhumans down our throats as some sort of "replacements" for mutants, a move that is neither necessary nor sensible.
And yet...maybe it was the mutants that were stealing the Inhumans thunder all along!!
Because...and honestly, this was a big surprise to me--the Inhumans were called "Uncanny" before the X-Men ever were!!
So it's pretty clear that the X-Men ripped off the Inhumans in the first place, as Marvel desperately tried to ram mutants down our throats to replace their obviously superior and much more interesting Terrigen-swilling despots!!
...
Nah, I don't believe it, either. The Inhumans suck. Always have, always will. Even if they were Uncanny first...

It's me again, your biggest fan! I've linked to this post on the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/discussingwho/) for a podcast I co-host (sometimes). We've been talking recently about what jerks the Inhumans have been recently and I was defending them based on my happy memories from the 70s. But, of course, in the end ... you're right. Wotta buncha jerks.
Terrigan-swilling despots is such a beautifully descriptive term.
The man has a point.
... did the 'Pursuer' model his costume after a really big cockroach?
I had to do a double take on issue 2. I thought the villains were the 'Kraptoids'.
