This was a simple enough story: the Inhuman king, Black Bolt, is revealed to be a Skrull (a race of shape shifting aliens, for those who have never read a Marvel comic) and the rest of the Inhuman royal family set off into outer space to see if the real Black Bolt's still alive and, if he is, to rescue him.
The story is action-oriented with a side of subterfuge and trots along at a brisk pace. Its main weaknesses are a twist involving Triton that goes nowhere and a falling out between Crystal and Medusa that's pretty nonsensical. Medusa accuses Crystal of shirking her royal duties by spending too much time living amongst the humans and joining human superhero teams; two things that Medusa has done herself, possibly even more often than Crystal has. This could just come across as hypocritical if Crystal was to call her on it, but she doesn't so it just makes it look like the writer hasn't done his research.
Overall, not a terrible book but nothing special either.

The Great Marvel cosmic saga continues.
3.5 stars. This was solid. A fast paced tie in to Secret Invasion. The Skrulls have taken Black Bolt and Medusa is hell bent on finding him and bringing him home. Medusa and Karnak come up with a plan and put it into action. There was however an alliance set in motion between the Inhumans and the Kree. We will see what comes of that later I’m sure.

The Skrulls thought they could just take Black Bolt and conquer Attilan. They underestimated the Royal Family especially Karnak.
Secret Invasion: Inhumans was a good story. Hardly groundbreaking stuff, but I did enjoy seeing Crystal in battle since she rarely takes part in the Inhuman comics I've read.

Mission: catch up on the last decade's worth of Inhumans. Reason: Inhumans are the new "mutants" of the MCU. Challenge: wade through some of the most tedious, second-rate, forgettable stories of the Marvel Universe that I've studiously avoided like a bad STD since getting back into Marvel comics. Round two: bridge between Jenkins Inhumans glacial primer and the War Of Kings event.
Good lord, I realise I've read this back when Secret Invasion was first released. My faded memories from those ancient days of reintroducing myself to Mighty Marvel comics. I can't imagine I knew much about Inhumans politics or history - this might've been the only stuff I read since I was a kid, and a character named "Black Bolt" might've struck me as either (a) cool or (b) [an insulting word I probably shouldn't repeat among my PC-friendly friends].
This is a good, tight, fast-paced story. No lectures on who has which powers, little farting around with courtly politics, getting on with the story. Getting the ol BB back in the family is a worthy if predictable adventure, and it's worth the fun of seeing how it comes together. The "let's go to war" coda at the end seems entirely superfluous (given the name of the event to which this is aimed) but I suppose having them say the words is obligatory.
Ugh, it's like waiting for the thing to say "It's clobberin time" in every second issue of FF, or waiting for the twice-per-episode transformation sequence in every episode of the Incredible Hulk (TV from the 70's kiddies - speaking of which, did you ever see the Six Million Dollar Man episode where Steve Austin is being pursued by an unstoppable robot? I was haunted by that mental image for years afterwards, because I never had the closure of the second part where we found out how Steve Austin escaped that juggernaut).

I really enjoyed Secret Invasion at the time and have held a soft spot for it ever since. The conceit had a cohesiveness and clarity that so many other crossover events have struggled for. It felt like a logical event within the Marvel Comics Universe that tapped into our heroes' hubris while at the same time being simple to understand and delivering a genuine sense of scale.
It made sense that every comic book then running would have its own story to tell within this event, and each made the threat feel bigger. There was a tremendous cumulative effect, and that's why I've enjoyed picking through the tie-in series I missed at the time in the years since.
I didn't know much about the Inhumans before picking up this book; it was a widening gap in my Marvel knowledge and the current car crash of their TV series (along with the fact the book was heavily discounted on Comixology) gave me all the excuse I needed to catch up with them a bit.
As Secret Invasion tie-ins go this one's distinctly mid-table; the story is simple and plays out without too many surprises. It's functional fun for a newbie - I get the impression its place as a bridge between two major story arcs might give it greater significance for a long-term fan, but obviously I can't swear to the accuracy of that feeling.
Joe Pokasi certainly hammers home the theme of family and how (family) the Inhumans are joined (family) by a genetic bond (family) that goes far beyond their presumably frequent (family) infighting. Family.
I feel I know a bit more about the basic premise of the Inhumans (both series and characters) from this but not really whether I'd enjoy reading any more. If that infighting is more fully explored elsewhere I can certainly see its potential as the Marvel Universe's own Game of Thrones (and the casting of Iwan Rheon in the TV version suggests someone else is aware of that too): if it is just more posturing with the occasional bit of exciting space fighting, I have other options.

Black Bolt has been revealed to be a Skrull imposter. But for how long? And what happened to the real Black Bolt? This mini-series tries to pick up the mess of plots the Inhumans have carried for a while and move them onto the cosmic stage, for the most part succeeding in their task. There are some great moments for our characters, but most of them don't go anywhere. There are some neat pages, but the art rarely has a big WOW factor that can tackle it's huge scope. It tries to delicately balance the 'family' ties that keep the Inhuman Royal Family together with the massive scale of the intergalactic superwar they've become wrapped up in, and in the end doesn't really succeed at either. It's a good introduction and mid-way piece for the characters and the setting, but that's about it.

One of the reasons the Inhumans have not taken off as a franchise over the years is that these mini-series keep saying the same thing over and over and over again: Black Bolt is silent and indecisive, Medusa silently suffers in her relationship, Karnak is smart, Gorgon is brutish, Crystal is petulant, Maximus is crazy, Ahura is missing, Luna is weird...yawn. Pokaski offers nothing new here at all and even sets things back further with his decided lack of female empowerment: naked Medusa on the cover, draped in her husband's costume (because we all do that, right?), and Medusa & Crystal in some kind of she-warrior bikini melee. Trust me...read the Wikipedia synopsis instead.

3.5 stars. Not quite 4 but enjoyable enough and good use of the strengths of each character. This family dynamic works in the search for Black Bolt...is he alive or dead? Who can help them against the Skrulls? How about Ronan the Accuser? Yup. Alliance you never thought of and what's the price?
Better Invasion tie in than most, because other than Iron Man briefly, this has nothing tied to the rest of the heroes in Marveldom, and is better for being a story arc in the larger event, not just after thought to sell more SI tie ins.

I think the Inhumans have had some rather nice storylines lately, mostly stemming from the fact that they aren't tied to a monthly title. The mini-series lately all seem to bring some real emotion that's so often lacking from regular titles. Anyway, I really like the portrayal of the main characters here, and the art. There's not a ton of punch to the storyline, in the sense that nothing really shockingly amazing happens, but it's an above average story.

First try at comics, as wanting to try out something different.
This one was good.

I was reading New Avengers for some reason and got up to the Secret Invasion storyline and said, “Hey, I have the Mavel Unlimited app, why don’t I just read the entire Secret Invasion storyline? I’d be really interested because I know that the MCU is going to come out with a movie pretty soon.” Great idea, right?
Ugh, that thing is 99 issues long and just starts to d r a g in the middle as Marvel tried to cash in by incorporating as many titles as possible. But I was committed, and I read every single issue. Was it worth it? Absolutely not. Am I glad I read it? I’m not sad, but I wish that Marvel had done a better job writing with concise storytelling. Or that I had not made the decision to read the whole blamed thing.
But, you know, in for a penny, and for a pound. And it’s red and I will never have to read it again and I can enjoy the movie when it comes out. So I’m just going to copy and paste this review in every single trade paperback that contains the secret invasion, storyline and call it a day.
if anyone reads this review, I recommend you just read the essential story itself without all of the side issues.

This started off strong. The Inhumans, distraught over the skrullification of Blackbolt and the invading Skrull army, flee to Kree territory to forge an alliance and out an end to The Secret Invasion. Nothing goes according to plan, etc. etc.
Unfortunately, this was a book of diminishing returns, and somewhere around the middle of the third issue, I no longer cared what was happening in the book. The characters were all flat, the ideas seemed really familiar rather than innovative, and it started to read more like an outline of a story rather than a story.
I did enjoy the stained glass style intros to each issue, and wish there were more devices like that used in this title. It needed something else a little unusual to spice up the predictable plot.
It's not a bad book. If you're an inhuman fan, or are intrigued by the Secret Invasion tie-ins, it's definitely worth the read.

"The product of experiments on humanity by an alien culture millennia ago, the Inhumans are a race governed by the laws of genetics. Within their culture, diversity and individuality are prized beyond compare....."
The art was OK, I liked the stained glass windows at the beginning...2 🌟
No real connection to what was going on on Earth but they had their own internal battles, with family etc. that they were dealing with which was good, and Ronan made an appearance which is always good 2 🌟
Relevance to SI, 1 1/2 🌟 So overall for this TPB 2 🌟

A fairly straightforward, compact story taking place over four issues as the Inhuman royal family, now led by Medusa goes off in search of their King Black Bolt on a quest to rescue him from a Skrull spaceship. One of the more readable Secret Invasion tie-ins, this isn't overloaded with characters or cameos and, with the action taking place either on Attilan or in space, has an identity of it's own and doesn't rely on events from the main story. It also has (or should have) longer term consequences for the Inhumans' story. Well worth a look.

Secret Invasion: Inhumans (1-4). A strong Inhumans story because it gives them a galactic scope and because it touches upon their Kree origins. It's also nice to see some serious follow-up to Secret Invasion, an event that in large part ignored what should have been big plot shifts across the Marvel universe. On the downside, the MacGuffin quest of this comic seemed a little staid and easy [7/10].

Nel corso dell'evento Secret Invasion vediamo questa mini in cui Medusa conduce gli Inumani alla ricerca di Black Bolt, rapito dagli Skrull. Per fare ciò chiede l'aiuto dei Kree, aiuto che Ronan acconsente a dare in cambio della mano di Crystal per cementare l'alleanza tra i due popoli.
Nel complesso carina come mini e ben disegnata da Raney decisamente maturato rispetto al decennio precedente.
3 stelle.

Decent but not particularly memorable. The Inhumans discover that Black Bolt has been replaced by a Skrull, set out to find him, and confront their cosmic destiny. Plot is straightforward; art is very safe and "house style." One definitely senses that the Inhumans are too complex for their own good, so hopefully this clear storytelling bodes well.

I'm actually still new to Inhumans, but am reading up on some Secret Invasion stuff because of War of Kings tying in directly to FF. A good read that isn't directly tied to Secret Invasion miniseries, which is a good thing. I am currently rereading Secret Invasion, but it wouldn't have been necessary.
December 11, 2021
So I was hoping to see a continuation of the story started in Son of M and Silent War but...no.
A really inconsequential story for both Secret Invasion and The Inhumans as a whole. Easily the worst writing for these characters yet, mixed with some aggressively okay artwork means this is not only skippable but worth ignoring all together. Yikes.

Haven't read many Inhumans comics, but I watched the TV Show and have seen them pop up in other comics. It seems like an epic story with them, but the characters just don't seem to "click" for me. So it comes off as interesting, but not amazing.
December 15, 2019
It was an entertaining story, an important one for the War of Kings trilogy I am currently reading. But other than that it was kind of forgettable.
December 30, 2018
Little did I know while I was reading this story, it was infinitely more important than I knew.
The very next event would involve groundwork from this arc. And while I'd like to claim that I went back and reviewed this with fresh eyes, I feel like the score is more fitting than ever.
There is nothing inherently wrong. The portions it does well, it does well. And the sections that drag do absolutely that.
This isn't badly written, although it is mostly unremarkable. Raney's pencils are fine, although his character expressions are still off-putting.
Pick it up and give it a go. Just don't expect very much.

This had some of the best covers I've seen all year. Rushed story but honestly I'm okay with it.

I have never known much about the Inhumans, not having read much of Marvel 616 outside of a few major events. I did run across them in the Ultimate Universe, where they were more a cameo/ curiosity than major players. It is a good thing therefore that this volume begins with a quick recap of the history of the Inhumans in the main (616) universe. That it is presented through gorgeous stained glass like panels is an added plus. Overall though, this was hit and miss; I'd rate it 3.5 stars if I could. It works as an OK short story, and not a spectacular read by any measure. The art though was bordering on NSFW on a few panels, but great!
I liked how Homeric this 'family' of powered beings is, and how they are named. Medusa, Gorgon, Karnak, Triton - all suggest that at some point the Inhumans inspired a few Graeco-Roman legends. The story is a straightforward one - Queen Medusa searches for her husband who (it is revealed by Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D, during 'Secret Invasion') had been replaced with a Skrull infiltrator at some point.
This is a framing/ display case for the Inhumans' and their powers, and on that level it does work. At the end of the book they decide to go from being a pacific/ defensive clan to an outright expansionist Empire. This turn-around feels contrived however, clearly just set-up for the War of Kings.
I prefer the Abnett Marvel Cosmic stories to this Shi'ar/ Inhumans stuff, but I'll wait to see where things go with the War of Kings.

I was surprised how important this series was to a number of Marvel events I have read when it seemed like just a minor side story to me on first glance. Rather than a regular story being interrupted by some skrulls here and there like some other tie-ins, this one shakes the Inhumans to the core, revealing Black Bolt as a skrull with the real Black Bolt kidnapped. Medusa takes the main cast of royal Inhumans to rescue him which ends up initiating the alliance with the Kree that makes up the backdrop for the Realm of Kings storyline and a lot of Marvel's space stories for years to come from here. Overall, this is quite engaging, particularly for an Inhumans story, most of which end up being kind of inscrutable and ill-defined. This one was short and sweet, though I had to mark it down a bit, since there is a tremendous typo (using Black Bolt's name incorrectly twice in a row was pretty glaring), and Medusa was a bit too much more of a jerk than usual, as well.

This book follows the Skrull invasion of the Inhumans home on the moon and it’s very good.
I do enjoy ambiguous superheroes and Blackbolt and Medusa fit nicely into that category. Villains that are just bad for the sake of it become boring very quickly and superheroes that are righteous become annoying very quickly. Whether they are perceived as good or bad, they need to have a reason for their actions. We also find out just how long this invasion plan has been in motion.
The artwork is good in this volume and with lots of weird and wonderful characters, it should be. There is an excerpt from a much older comic showing the origins of the Inhumans which is interesting but also shows you just how far the artwork has come.
This is a good story and fun to read and like Captain Britain, it works as a story on its own but also contributes to the main story arc.
Nice art, nice story and Medusa kicking ass. That should do, shouldn’t it?

As part of their Secret Invasion, the Skrulls have kidnapped Black Bolt and are trying to harness him as a living weapon, even as their troops attack Attilan. This leads the Inhumans royal family to search space to find him, a task that's resolved pretty easily in a few short setpieces.
The concept isn't bad, but the plotting and characterization feels pretty stiff, and there aren't enough surprises to make the story essential. Medusa seems out of character as a Machiavellian royal willing to do whatever it takes to protect her people. Ultimately, it seems like a four-issue change of direction to get the Inhumans more involved in Marvel's cosmic comics. Not really required reading on its own.

A pretty damn solid read. The Inhuman stories from around this time all seem to really hit it out of the ball park, amazingly shinning all on their own. It's actually kind of odd thinking that they haven't really had too many chances to shine on their own being they have been the center of so many stories.
Medusa and Crystal really shine in this story. Comparing what you see of their characters here to what I've been reading in the first 3 or 4 essential Fantastic Four volumes I can see how much the characters have been flushed out and developed. There were some really touching moments between them as family members too.

As far as standalone mini-series go, this tie-in for Secret Invasion was pretty good despite its brevity. Within 4 issues, Pokaski really captured that rather romantic tone we associate with a lot of Inhumans stories and managed to keep things focused on them versus the main Secret Invasion stuff on Earth. I'd normally complain about that sort of thing, but in this case, I appreciate not forcing them to have some sort of an adventure on Earth.
Instead, we continue to situate them within the greater Marvel cosmic universe with this story. We are reminded that they are of the Kree, traditional enemies of the Skrulls, and this book is how that legacy truly comes knocking.

Skrulls infiltrate the Inhumans, and Black Bolt, their rightful king, becomes a prisoner on a Skrull ship. Medusa and her friends go to rescue him. The plot twists and turns - even among the closely knit Inhuman group, who can trust whom?
The best character was Crystal, who showed initiative, courage, and loyalty.
The most annoying character was Maximus, who never rises above being a stereotype.
A good read, but ultimately shallow and somewhat incoherent. I'd hoped for better.
