Uncanny Inhumans: IVX Review



Finished reading Uncanny Inhumans: IVX, concluding not only the series but writer Charles Soule's time with the team and it’s related characters. The book opens with the daughters of the Inhuman Auran speaking with her partner Frank McGee about his time working with their mother. After building enough information from people who where close to Auran, Treste and Irelle head to the Quiet Room to meet with Reader in hopes that he could bring their mother back to life with is ability to make the things he reads come to life. However when Reader brings Auran back things are not what they appear when Auran's memories and personality is being contradicting with each other. The second story sees the return of Maximus as he forms a team consisting of himself, Lineage and the Unspoken as Maximus come up with the plan to create new Terrigen crystals in hope to be the hero of the war between the Inhumans and the X-Men by giving them a reason to stop fighting and the Inhuman race to continue. The final story is an epilogue to Charles Soule's time with the Inhumans as Black Bolt and Medusa begin to rebuild their relationship while reminiscing  about the events that have transpired over the last few years. Overall this was a great book and it brings an end to writer Charles Soule's time with the Inhumans by wrapping up smaller stories that the series has previously been set up along with bringing some great character moments with how well the interactions and development for some characters bring some great drama and comedy. The art throughout the book is great as the story centring around Auran is able to bring the great emotional moments to life extremely well while also bring the designs of each character and the Quiet Room greatly. While the second half of the book’s art for the Maximus centric story features some hilarious visual comedy thanks to the situations that Maximus, Lineage, the Unspoken and Triton find themselves in and how they interact with one another especially when they find themselves under the sea meeting with a group of aquatic monsters. 8.5/10.
