Spinning directly out of SECRET INVASION – the hunt for Black Bolt begins! You learned that he was replaced by the Skrulls in New Avengers: Illuminati, now it’s time to find out if the Inhumans’ former king is dead or alive! How will the loss of their leader tear apart the Royal Family? Can the mighty monarch recover from this personal blow – that is, if he’s even still living? And how far will Medusa, Crystal, Triton, Karnak and Gorgon go to find their disposed king? Writer Joe Pokaski (TV’s Heroes) and artist Tom Raney (Annihilation: Conquest) unite for an adventure that not only expands the events of this year’s biggest story, but will lead to huge events in 2009!

REVIEW by Brian Fisher
First off I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of the Inhumans. In fact I didn’t even know that the Kree had bred the Inhumans for their war against the Skrulls until I read this book. But it stands to reason, knowing that fact that they’d be obvious targets for the Skrulls. While this book seems a little late (seeing as how we’re five issues into SI and all the events of the first issue of this series take place before the first issue of SI) it reveals an important part of the invasion plan, and a weapon that could prove devastating to Earth’s resistance.
