Hello everyone! As some of you may know, I am writing for the website COMICONVERSE. I have been covering the current comic books from Marvel Comics and BOOM! Studios such as Doctor Strange and Kong of Skull Island.
For myself and anyone else interested I am documenting each of my articles here at Blood Work.

Marvel has finally rescinded their push of the Inhumans, drawing the saga to a close in this grand finale. It's the same creative team from Royals plus artist Mike Del Mundo. In my opinion this was a wonderful way to end the five year Inhumans saga. The art is great and the story is well done. Overall I think Marvel's Inhumans books over the last few years have been strong, maybe not in sales, but in quality.
I think Marvel really shot themselves in the foot by setting the Inhumans in opposition with the X-Men. It's not that the Inhumans aren't good characters or that the X-Men are better characters. But that the X-Men fan community comprises a significant portion of comic readers. I doubt even the Avengers could beat the X-Men in popularity, despite the movies. If you cut out every X-Men fan from potential Inhumans comics sales that's a huge loss of revenue. All of this is to say that, I don't care who you are, if you go up against the X-Men you're gonna lose. A terribly received television show didn't help their cause either.
In summary though, while the Inhumans books were fine, it was only a matter of time before Marvel gave them the axe. My only hope is that one, at least ONE, Inhumans book continues to be a regular title now for years to come. I love the Inhumans but I don't need them to be in multiple books nor everywhere in the Marvel universe. Just one book all their own doing their own thing with quality writing and good artwork. That's not a lot to ask for, is it? We'll see.
