The Inhumans are kinda new to me. I hadn’t really been exposed to them before I started Ms. Marvel. I enjoyed this volume.

Trying too hard to be a replacement for the x-men series....ugh even going so far as to put Gorgon in a wheelchair and even saying something about comparing him to Prof. X...SMH. Really? This is nothing like X-men, and the obvious try-hard attempt just turned me off.

Meh. I like Crystal a lot and had heard good things about this book that was part of the great Inhumans explosion of the mid 20-teens. But while Crystal was fine, I didn't know - or care - who any of the other characters were, and the stories were decent but so mired in the forced Inhumans domination of the MU of the time that it really put me off.
It's a shame. I really like the Inhumans as they were originally conceived, and I hope they can be used in a similar manner again sometime, maybe 0nce the memory of Marvel trying to make them the new X-Men has stooped leaving such a bad taste in the mouth.
In case it's not clear, I won't be reading volume 2.

Marvel is making a concerted effort to move heroes whose movie rights are owned by other companies to teams owned by Marvel and Disney. They ended the Fantastic Four as a comic book shortly before that disastrous movie came out, and moved the characters to other books that Marvel/Disney would own the film rights too. An intellectual property lawyer could tell you if the gambit will work, but the fact that Marvel is proceeding with it certainly gives credence to the idea. The Agents of Shield TV show discovered their way to connect to the larger Marvel Universe with The Inhumans. On this basis I picked up this comic book.
Marvel has an unsteady relationship with reader friendliness that perplexes me. Of the Marvel books I peruse on a regular, and even semi-regular basis, all of them have a recap. I understand The Inhumans as a comic book entity have a history. It's not a history I'm familiar with. Gun to my head, I know Medusa and Black Bolt, that's it. Actual stories or story arcs. I have nothing.
So I pick up a book and get absolutely no help with the characters. No help. Not even a brief description of each character. So much for my theory a #1 issue is a good place to start.
There's a quote attributed to Stan Lee that "Every comic is someone's first." Not so much for this series.
