But I get a sense that comic book readers like kings and queens, which is regressive to human civilization. Queen Medusa sounds more fictional than Prime Minister Iso, which is what Attilan has right now.
The X-Men are getting into nation building and colonization, which is interesting for fiction I guess. The inhumans were Earth slaves of the Kree and went to space to usurp their power, which was as much as a 180 as the mutants' story now, because Attilan's shtick was to avoid conflict and live alone in peace, not to go into space. The X-Men are going through all of the Attilanean steps quick. Hickman invented the Universal inhumans, so I wonder if he's going to make the Universal mutants.
