Tell us about why Johnny Storm is involved in Uncanny Inhumans and how come Medusa is dating someone other than King Black Bolt?
Well, if you look at my issues of Inhuman leading up to that point, specifically around #11-14, you’ll see that Black Bolt hasn’t really been around. He unleashed this whole Terrigen bomb and then bailed. There’s a good reason for that, but the fact is Medusa has had to pull everything together by herself and has been responsible for keeping Inhumanity together, helping everybody, and trying to save the world pretty much. Black Bolt has been off hanging out with his crazy brother Maximus. When he finally comes back and is like, “Alright, I’m going to sit on that throne again,” Medusa’s like, “No, you’re not going to sit on the throne. You might have ruled the old capital, but this is my city now.” They’re like estranged, they’re separated basically. So, Medusa is out there in the world and she’s going to go out on some dates. And the person she is dating right now, at least that sure is what it looks like, is Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. That’s interesting for a lot of reasons, but one of the particularly interesting things is that Johnny Storm for a long time dated an Inhuman named Crystal, and Crystal is Medusa’s sister. We haven’t played that out yet, but I can’t imagine what that conversation is going to be like…Actually I can, considering I probably will get to write it.
Full article here. [Insert high-pitched scream.] Hopefully, this is not just some kind of character-building moment for Medusa, and Soule's plans for Crystal extend beyond this, but hey it's something!

Crystal is gonna be pretty pissed if her sister is dating Johnny. Maybe….This is not looking good.
Someone on Tumblr messaged me that they talked to Soule, and that
A) Crystal will have a new costume
B) Crystal will have fallout with Johnny and Medusa.
I had that same initial gut reaction ("I am offended that you're acting like Inhumans fans don't know who Crystal is!"), but as Dermie said, I realize that he is addressing potential new readers or people whose first introduction to Inhumans has been his run. Which it is kind of a shame that it's made it this far into an Inhumans run without any mention of Crystal.
Oi vey. Ok, well, I'm not completely opposed to her having a new costume, but I really hope it's yellow and black! Something along the lines of Hawkeye's modern costume; it should pay homage to the original. I am glad to hear this, but now I'm just wanting more!! I really hope she will have a more prominent role going forward, more than just being mad her sister is dating her ex!!! Starting yesterday.

I love this thread and think Crystal is awesome. Would anyone else read a Crystal/Polaris/Sersi book?

New costume? Thank God, she's been long overdue for one IMO. I just hope it's not as much of a departure from the classic costume as that Jessica Drew redesign. Here's to a new era for Crystal where hopefully she gets the respect she deserves so she'll forever stop being reset back to the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby characterization.
