Inhuman: Genesis Review

Finished reading Inhuman: Genesis, this book deals with the aftermath of the events of Infinity when Black Bolt released the Terrigen mist causing new Inhuman's being discovered around the world. The book opens up in Norway where the Terrigen mist cloud hits the area causing one person to be consumed by the cloud which forms a cocoon around him, gaining the attention of an Inhuman named Lash who ends up disintegrating the newly emerged Inhuman after judging him on first impressions. Meanwhile in New York Medusa, the queen of the Inhuman's hears news that Eldrac, the door has been found. With Eldrac opening a doorway to the home of new Inhuman Dante and his family as they come under attack by Lash. After the conflict with Lash Medusa takes Dante and his sister Gabriela back to Attilan with her as Gorgon helps Dante control his powers, while Vinato the Inhuman medical chief exams the family as Medusa meets with Captain America giving her the idea to address the world by inviting all of the worlds Inhuman's to Attilan with open arms so they can discover their heritage. The second story has Medusa meeting with Thor as a few gunmen attempt to assassinate Medusa as they blame her for their transformation injuring Elejea in the process, when the former king of the Inhuman's the Unspoken reappears hoping to gain access to Attilan's supply of Terrigen by marring Medusa. Overall this was a great book as it continues the Inhuman's story that was set up during the Infinity story arc extremely well by introducing new characters that have been effected by the Terrigen mist. New characters like Dante and Jason are great as their backstories get fleshed out immensely in such a small space of time allowing their story to be very influential throughout the rest of the book, while classic Inhuman characters like Gorgan and Medusa still get their time to shine. The artwork works exceptionally well as the Inhuman's powers and features are brought to the forefront of the book even with the changing of the art team in the second half of the book it still captures the obscurity of the Inhuman's world. 8.5/10.
