I would love to see Crystal again.

She needs to be on an Avenger team as their Elementalist.

Happy New Year to the quintessential princess of the Inhumans and her fans .

Happy 2021 to the Exquisite Elemental Crystal!

Orange is one of my favorite hair colors. Here's hoping 2021 will be a good year for Crystal

I would love to see Crystal again.

You'll get your wish sooner then you think.

Crystal is probably my favorite Inhuman -- because her lithe appearance really hides the level of power she has. I think she works best, though, outside of Inhumans stories -- as they tend to move her to the background for some reason.

Wow, cool cover! Everyone looks so good on there!

Yay, Crystal is back to her long iconic hair!

I feel like writers don't know what to with her in Inhumans books because she doesn't have a formal job in monarchy, just princess, plus she was on the f4 for a lot of their early appearances. Despite being pretty popular at several points she always ends up disappearing in actual inhumans titles. Barely in the 75run, barely in Jenkin/lee, absent for the first three years of the Inhuman push.

Well she was in All-New Inhumans, as the leader of the team as well.

I think writers of today do not know much about Crystal and just say, yada, yada, she controls heat, ice." They do not know or go back to the old stories which did show Crystal utilizing a wide variety of powers. I also think the writers of today have their own look on characters (and mostly not to positive) and they draw them just standing around.

I agree. Crystal does indeed control and command a lot of power. Most think she is weak because modern stories do not show her much or her power potential.

Anyone unfamiliar with her abilities should read Fantastic Four #100 by Lee/Kirby. It was one of the first times a Marvel female kicked butt (figuratively).
