Inhuman – AXIS | Comics

Though most of the world thought that Black Bolt; king of The Inhumans has died fighting The Mad Titan; Thanos, he and his insane brother Maximus the Mad were actually busy taking care of some secret business with New Avengers (Time Runs Out). Maximus taunts his brother by keeping him locked up in a hotel room in New York from where they can see New Attilan on Hudson River. He brings two ladies he picked up from bar to introduce with his brother, King Black Bolt but when they saw him, they ran off scared.

Losing their home after Thanos's invasion on Earth, Medusa is now the ruler of remaining Inhumans on New Attilan. A former police officer turned Nuhuman, Nur and an old member of Attilan security force, Auran is summoned and tasked by Queen Medusa to locate her husband after she took a short interview of their new security recruit. The duo eventually discovers the Boltagon brothers in a nightclub and tries to bring them in but Maximus soon turned the table by making Black Bolt unleashing his powerful voice on them.

Knowing what Black Bolt is capable of, Auran quickly pushed Nur away seconds before being vaporized by quasi-sonic energy. Losing his partner defending his life, Nur returns to Attilan and angrily delivers Gorgon and Medusa news of their encounter with her husband as well as his maniacal brother Maximus at Tribeca, New York. Gorgon, Inferno and Nur prepare to go looking for them again with help from Eldrac the Door. Though Gorgon was seemingly unsuccessful convincing Eldrac but Nur eventually made him listen to them.

Reaching Himalayas, they found Maximus and Black Bolt but only to tremble before the latter's earth shattering voice as they tried to apprehend. All three of them were struggling with their lives when Maximus was making his brother scream again and again. However, the encounter doesn't end well for Maximus but worked out fine for Black Bolt in the end anyway. Inferno and Nur argues whether to take him back or not but Gorgon reminds them that Black Bolt is a King and they cannot take him back if he didn't wish to return.

Meanwhile, Inhuman Reader and his powerful new recruit from China, Xiaoyi struggle to get back home from clutches of Ennilux Corporation. New Attilan sees an all-new Medusa on the funeral of Inhuman Royal Family medical regent, as a result of "Inversion Spell". She went to the general assembly of the United Nations infuriated and made a scene, which led her to a brief clash with Spider-Man. Then when she went out in civilian attire to re-discover herself apart from being a Queen, New Attilan fell under attack from Ennilux.

Inhuman – AXIS

Serving as a tie-in storyline of "AXIS" crossover event, this one is the second arc from Inhuhman monthly ongoing series, collecting issues #07-11. The story is plotted by writer Charles Soule (Death of Wolverine – The Logan Legacy, Death of Wolverine – The Weapon X Program) while artist Pepe Larraz (Avengers – Rage of Ultron, Spider Island – The Amazing Spider-Girl) and Ryan Stegman (Fantastic Four, Scarlet Spider) contributed to cover and interior arts of the story for Marvel Comics in 2015. As aftermath of 'Infinity' crossover event led to a lot of change in Marvel Universe, there is a new threat on the horizon and it is Red Skull's "World War Hate".

Plus, the secret adventures of Boltagon brothers with Illuminati to save Earth from incursions before "Time Runs Out" were hinted. Another trouble forms when Inhuman freelancer Reader took a job from Ennilux corporation about delivering a very powerful Nuhuman named Xiaoyi but ended up saving her from the corporation and their sinister leader Capo. Though this plotline has not directly influenced any major occurrences of "AXIS", it sure helped pave a new direction for Inhomo Supremis. Inhumans were just about to start their journey in human world and then suddenly the moral axis of their Queen Medusa being changed affected many things, leading to the next story-arc "Lineage".

Inhuman – Genesis | Comics

A short while ago, when The Mad Titan came to Earth looking for his son and threatened the survival of entire Inhuman race, King Black Bolt detonated a Terrigen Bomb out of desperation that spread a cloud of Terrigen Mists on Earth's atmosphere. Coming in contact of this mutagenic substance, anyone with a potential Inhuman genome in them has been turned into one. While the cloud was placing people into cocoons worldwide, a mysterious individual named Lash took it upon himself to collect those specimens.

He would patiently wait for it to hatch and then decide whether or not the transformation is a success. Otherwise, he would simply incinerate the subject and go looking for a new one. Struggling musician Dante Pertuz from Des Plaines, Illinois, were going out for a weeding gig to support his sick mother and pregnant sister Gabriela when suddenly Mrs. Pertuz was heard screaming. He and Gabriela quickly rushed to her room to find her covered in a cocoon and at the same time he too undergoes Terrigenesis.

Queen Medusa of Inhuman Royal Family quickly took charge of her people and her aide Elejea informs her that one of their own was found on Battery Park. Despite objections from S.H.I.E.L.D. agents at the scene she approaches and seeks help through Eldrac the Door in locating her now-missing husband and Inhuman King Blackagar Boltagon. Meanwhile, Lash approaches Dante Pertuz to join his cause with his exceptional gift of power but he retaliated on the former as he was about to obliterate Mrs. Pertuz still in her cocoon.

Dante eventually took Medusa's side upon her timely arrival, which saved his sister and her unborn child. Lash is forced to retreat and Medusa was able to calm down Dante by smothering his flames with her hair. The remains of Attilan are now mostly in ruins residing on Hudson River and Dante is now training with Gorgon to learn better control over his powers. Then Captain America shows up at their doorstep with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to check on her and Medusa soon finds herself allied with Steve Rogers in taking down A.I.M. agents to retrieve part of New Attilan's remains.

A mysterious Inhuman calling himself Lineage offers his aid to Medusa, claiming he posses the whereabouts of Black Bolt but not revealing his true intentions to anyone just yet. Queen Medusa led an all-out assault on Lash and his recruits on Orollan with Inhuman Royal Family at her side. Later, Thor visits New Attilan and there was a small occurrence during his presence. An Inhuman named Reader goes to China to recruit a powerful Nuhuman named Xiaoyi to their fold. One of the worst enemies of Inhuman history; The Unspoken has finally returned with a tribute.

With the artists team of Jim Cheung (Avengers – The Children's Crusade, Avengers & X-Men – Axis), Jerome Opeña and Dustin Weaver, Marvel Comics have had comic-book writer Jonathan Hickman (Secret Wars, Time Runs Out) concoct the 2013 major crossover comic event “Infinity”. Issues from many other monthly ongoing series like Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel, Fearless Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, Mighty Avengers, Nova, Secret Avengers, Superior Spider-Man Team-Up and Thunderbolts also served as the tie-in issues of this cosmic Marvel adventure.

Fall of New Attilan

Rumor has it that even though the 2018's Marvel Cinematic Universe live-action release of Avengers: Infinity War takes the legendary "Infinity Gauntlet" arc as their primary plotline, 2013's "Infinity" crossover event will also shape the film's plot to a modern setting. Elements from the crossover such as introducing the Black Order as lackeys of Thanos in the film to do his bidding is possibly one of such. Instead of Black Order, his lackeys are referred as Children of Thanos in the film and Black Dwarf among them is named Cull Obsidian, which is actually an alias for Black Order in the comics.

The story ran from issue #66-72 of the third volume of monthly ongoing Wolverine comic-book series, plus, a ‘Giant-Size Old Man Logan’ issue from Marvel Comics was released in 2008. Artist Steve McNiven (Civil War, New Avengers) served as the penciller for this story and the late Michael Turner did a variant cover for the arc. This storyline is a primary source of inspiration for the third live-action solo Wolverine film, Logan (2017) except for the rest of the landscape than his personality. Also, following "Death of Wolverine", Marvel has brought Old Man Logan to their regular continuity after the incursion of Multiverse, which caused "Secret Wars" and he joined X-Men's ranks again in "Extraordinary X-Men – X-Haven".

Secret Invasion – Inhumans | Comics

Black Bolt is revealed to be a Skrull and Queen Medusa set out to find former king of Inhumans alongside Royal Family members.

To a group of young Inhumans, story of Kree-Skrull War and a tale of enmity between those alien races were being told by Karnak. Whereas Skrulls were blessed with evolution, Kree couldn't evolve any further and therefore set to experiment that gave birth to their race and they have strength of family bond that makes them strong.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark reaches out to Queen Medusa and her cousin Crystal to show them the Skrull corpse that was posing as Black Bolt. He admits that even he couldn't tell who it was and she angrily states that she is aware of secret meetings on Earth her husband frequently attends to but none is sure when he was switched.

Iron Man urges her that they all should prepare to fight a great looming threat but she simply walks away with the corpse. On Attilan, she presents it in front of Genetics Council and declares that they all are at war. She wants to bring her husband back at once but his brother Maximus suggests that Skrulls have most likely killed him.

This news didn't sit well with many, particularly with Gorgon who thinks Karnak could be an imposter as he sees things for what they truly are and he somehow couldn't detect these shape-shifting aliens among them. However, it took a little bit of convincing from Triton for him to eventually calm down and let his cousin go.

That night, Medusa saw a shadow in her quarters that she thought to be Blackagar Boltagon but turns out to be a Skrull. She takes down her attacker and subjected him to vicious torture in Terrigen chambers for answers. More of their sleeper agents start attacking Attilan and their populace only to meet with serious resistance.

Medusa then leads a cavalry of Crystal, Gorgon, Karnak, Lockjaw and Triton into space to rescue her husband. Leaving their people to fend themselves, members of Royal Family heads to uncharted territory and arrives at Kree space. Medusa asks for help from Ronan the Accuser to find Blackagar but he is reluctant for an alliance.

Since they already lost to Skrulls, he is less interest in helping them but agrees to help them on condition of Crystal becoming his bride. Inhuman Queen accepts his terms despite objections from her sister. Karnak managed to work out a crack in Skrull communications and asks his family to split up in order to exploit its weaknesses.

Crystal and Medusa visits Earth to get a Skrull captive from Thundra but ended up fighting each other over their differences. Gorgon and Karnak are sent to Rigel 3 for retrieving a recording android to get necessary algorithm. Triton goes to watery planet Pelagia to find a secret beacon and also tackle an entire legion of its inhabitants.

Elsewhere in deep space, a wounded Black Bolt appears to be in captivity and a Skrull scientist working on using his powerful voice as a weapon for Skrull Empire. To learn more of his powers and invoke emotion within him, they reveal capturing his son Ahura as well, who is under care of a Skrull with powers of Emma Frost and Jean Grey.

His handler tries to locate what makes his emotion click and finds it in his queen who has been living with Black Bolt impostor. Held aboard warship Ryb'ik, Blackagar is being readied up to use his voice to destroy Attilan with a giant amplifier device.

Secret Invasion – Inhumans

With "Secret Invasion" crossover event taking over Marvel Universe, even Inhumans are not left out from taking part and a four-part limited series is conceived by writer Joe Pokaski (Ultimatum – March On Ultimatum, Ultimatum – X-Men/Fantastic Four) and artist Tom Raney (Black Widow – Deadly Origin, Dark Reign – Hawkeye).

Though Inhumans typically stay out of Earthly affairs but Skrulls have reached for them directly and replaced their leader Black Bolt. They had a plan to use him as a weapon to destroy his own people and then possibly against heroes of Earth.

Sometime after events of "Silent War", Blackagar was taken captive by an ambush when he was going to meet his friends in Illuminati and is replaced by an imposter. Then Hulk returned from his exile in space and attacked him. "World War Hulk" almost blew up cover of his replacement but it survived and become very close to Medusa.

For long, Black Bolt impersonator would not reveal its true self to anyone and play along until Iron Man would bring corpse of Elektra-Skrull to show off fellow Illuminati members (New Avengers – Illuminati). Although it took some efforts from the heroes but they successfully managed to kill it by impaling on a giant slab of rock.
