The princess leading the Inhumans is having a discussion with SHIELD Agent Daisy (aka Quake) and discussing the possible ramifications of their involvement in meeting with a dictatorship who supplied weapons to Hydra. The Inhumans travel to Sin-Cong and meet with the leader while searching the city for NuHumans. Unable to locate any Inhumans they retire back to their ship and are awoken by a mysterious nightmare they all experience while a small band of their fellow Inhumans searches the outskirts of the city for anyone affected by the Terrigen Cloud.

The story continues with an emphasis on diplomacy and political maneuvering as the princess of the Inhumans meets with a dictator to search for anyone affected/altered by the Terrigen cloud in his country. What they find within the city is not surprising as the citizens seem to say, exactly, what the Commissar said. The findings on the outskirts though was pretty revealing and not what was expected. I was glad they wrote a twist in that furthered the story.  Also, it gave depth and character to the country and the city. 

The story continues to delight and the art work is enjoyable without being distracting. There was a brief squabble during the dinner scene that was fun to see and quite revealing. We begin to learn how far this ruler of Sin-Cong is willing to go to make weapons and build an army. An overall good time and the intensity of the story continues to grow and develop into something rich and socially aware. I’m very pleased and looking forward to the next issue.

Gorgon is flying to Australia with two young Inhumans who he is also training during the flight. Upon arrival, they find the people who weren’t transformed by the Terrigen Mist are growing resentful and hateful of the NuHumans inhabiting the cities with them. We discover a rescue mission is in progress and meet some of the new leadership the Inhumans have. We also discover that not everyone who was transformed by the mist is happy about it. The issue concludes with some surprising political tactics and that the Inhumans are here to stay.

Being very unfamiliar with the Inhuman mythos I found this issue to be satisfying. I don’t know all the characters but I understand their powers and the limitations. This issue had some great art work for one battle scene where an “elemental” used her powers to fight a crowd of people. she used fire, water, wind and the earth itself to neutralize the mob. Overall, the art work was enjoyable and the story was too. 

This story deals with social commentary on accepting people who change and realizing that deep down they’re still people, just different. The political maneuvers used at the end was a nice surprise. I didn’t expect the twist and was pleased to see this story takes itself more seriously than just super powered beings living among humans. In conclusion, I enjoyed the all new all different Inhumans and am looking forward to future issues.
