Inhumans Appreciation 2021

[Shadowcat]

Brian Cronin has a Twitter poll: Who was your favorite romantic partner for Crystal of the Inhumans (the insurance salesman doesn't count)? Choices are Human Torch, Quicksilver, Black Knight, and Ronan.

The Black Knight. The Harras run is still one of my favorite runs ever.

Honestly, I'm tempted to choose that with process of elimination. Next best might be Ronan. I guess Johnny, but that feels cliche.

[stingray]

I agree with Dane and Ronan being the top two. I recently re-read all my old FF comics, and Johnny was pretty much more of a stalker than an actual boyfriend. Really possessive and creepy.

Ronan, they were happy together and were forced apart. If I had the power to I would make a Death of the Inhumans retcon and have Ronan live it but give up his position of Accuser so the whole Ronan the Accuser died still for Al Ewing's stories.

Yeah, there are two Inhumans large-size trades so far. A third trade would likely be

Fantastic Four 131-132
Avengers 127/Fantastic Four 150
Inhumans 1-12
Captain Marvel 52-53
Fantastic Four Annual 12
Fantastic Four 240

Basically, the Omega story, the marriage of Crystal and Quicksilver (that kind of reprises this), the War of the Three Galaxies and the related Captain Marvel story, the FF Annual, and ending with the Inhumans moving the Great Refuge to the moon.

Are there a lot more Inhumans appearances between this and Annual 18?

A popular enough rumor I am seeing going around is Jonathan Hickman writing Inhumans after X-men, and with how that + Avengers brought multiple books together does anyone think Marvel might let that happen for Inhumans again if he is writing it?

Hickman writing Inhumans would be a god send.

I've herd that he wanted to write a solo after X-men but that was before his run got prematurely ended so if he had ideas he wanted to transplant over I could see it happen. Hickman's name is always a massive sales boost and guaranteed attention. It's the one thing revive them regardless of quality. But still I feel like it would have to be something Hickman himself pursues I doubt editorial would throw it at him. The would sooner beg for him to do with an MCU character. Some people thing Stranges upcoming death could be setting up for a jumping point for hickman.

It is too good to be true and I’ll believe it when I actually have a book in my hands

[Ravin' Ray]

We've seen Hickman's past involvement with the Inhumans first in Fantastic Four then in Inhumanity. I'd be up to him writing an Inhumans title. My laundry list would be:

1. Resurrect the Inhumans killed in Death of Inhumans. (That was a total downer.)
2. Recolonize all the former sites of Attilan, as well as abandoned colonies like Orollan, with Inhumans whose physiologies are suited to the environments.
3. Follow up on Medusa's pledge to Red Raven to help cure the Bird People.
4. Bring the Inhumans of Heroes Reborn Earth, who somehow disappeared after the HR Fantastic Four, into Earth Prime together with Attilan, if the HR Earth/Counter-Earth cannot be brought into the Prime Universe.

Fantastic Four #248, Avengers Annual #12, and The Thing #3 are the most obvious examples I can think of. I did one more oversized trade that came out to 473 pages:

Fantastic Four 248
Avengers Annual 12
The Thing 3
Fantastic Four Annual 18
The Vision and the Scarlet Witch 6
Exerpts from Vision and the Scarlet Witch 7-9 (8 pages)
The Vision and the Scarlet Witch 10
Fantastic Four 304-305
Exerpts from Fantastic Four Annual 20 (1 page?)
Fantastic Four 306
X-Factor Annual 2
Fantastic Four Annual 21
The Inhumans: A Marvel Graphic Novel
Exerpts from Daredevil 272-274 (10 pages)
Exerpts from Daredevil 279-282 (15 pages)
Inhumans Special 1

[dang0]

Is there any source on this Hickman rumour? I can't see Marvel putting one of their biggest writers on Inhumans unless they plan on reintroducing them to the MCU. I want to believe but it seems like too much of a stretch.

Make it so

[Drops Of Venus]

Not sure if I believe if Hickman is doing Inhumans or not, but if it turns out he is, I can't help but wonder if that is his way of doing what he was trying to do with X-Men before editorial stepped in and basically derailed his whole plan. Inhumans, as a franchise, is virtually non-existent in comics these days, so he would probably have a lot more creative liberty to do what he wants without too much meddling.

[king of hybrids]

As much as I would like to think that the rumour is true, the simple fact is that unless we get a surprise that Kamala’s still an Inhuman in the MCU; there’s no real need on Marvel’s part to exhume their perceived ‘failure IPs’ (Inhumans, SHIELD, Iron Fist) from limbo

To say nothing of the fact that any Inhuman revival would run into the fact that, like the Avengers, every writer looking for an X-books gig will crap on them from a great height

Edit: hang on, where is this rumour even circulating?
