All New Inhumans: Skyspears Review

Finished reading All New Inhumans: Skyspears, bringing an end to Marvel's worldwide Inhumans series as writers James Asmus brings more of the characters to the forefront of the book to give most of the team members their own spotlight. The book opens with Spider-Man and a two scientists from Parker Industries taking a look at the Skyspear that landed in China with Spider-Man calling in Crystal's team to help with research only to gain the attention of China's own superhero team the People's Defence Force of China. The next story see Gorgon and Flint going to a mountain range in Africa with help from the daughter of Kraven the Hunter, Ana Kravinoff who recently discovered that she is an Inhuman and has been tasked by Crystal to look for Flint's family. After reaching the hidden Inhuman settlement of Utolan, Flint is introduced to with open arms by his mother and his sister. However things are not what they appear when a group inhabitants from Utolan hear of the new arrivals they begin to try and retrieve and use the genetic material of Flint, Gorgon and Ana in hope to produce more offspring. The final story concludes the series as Crystal and the Inhumans onboard of the Royal Inhuman Vessel arrive in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea to help a boat full of mutants to escape from an oncoming Terrigen cloud. While on the Inhuman's ship Crystal is visited by her daughter, Luna who has just finished school in England to be with her mother. Overall this was a good book as it brings more focus onto characters onboard of the Royal Inhuman Vessel with Flint's background being delved into by showing a different settlement of Inhumans which leads to some great character development for Flint and Ava Kravinoff within the story along with some great interactions between the two. While Gorgon also gets some amazing moments to shine throughout the book thanks to how he comes around to be with his son and where he is as a character at the end of the book. The team up between the Inhumans and Spider-Man along with the scientists from Parker Industries is a nice addition to the book as if continues the plot of the Skyspears while also bring in a group of China's own superheroes. The art throughout the book is great as Stefano Caselli's art for the main story of the book with a group of the Inhumans going to Africa leads to some breathtaking visuals while the artwork by André Lima Araújo and Rhoald Marcellius accompany their respective stories very nicely. 7.5/10.
