Inhumans: Attilan Rising #4

Really great writing in this issue and the panel in which we get glimpses of the conditions of other domains was well done. Read Full Review

While "Inhumans: Attilan Rising" #4 could be considered a transitional issue, it is just as invigorating as the opening of this series. This issue ends with an unexpected (but not overly surprising) appearance from a fan-favorite character. Black Bolt has stood for the resistance to Doom's rule throughout this series (and well before the narrative begins) and his tenacity has provided great drama. I'm unsure how many more issues are left in this tale, but Soule, Timms, Poggi, D'Armata and Cowles can take as long as they want, so long as the exploration of Battleworld continues to unfold in such an entertaining and enjoyable manner.

With all this good potential, why not a higher score for this book? Right now, it's still only a start - while Soule has gone a long way towards rehabbing Black Bolt as a viable leader for readers to latch onto, the supporting characters still feel a little shallow, and the overall direction of this book still is up in the air. This is where the whole Secret Wars setting does Soule no favors, as he has to bounce the younger Inhumans to the different Battleworld realms and include an obligatory mention to Emperor Doom, which ultimately distracts from any deeper story at hand. But after watching the Inhumans struggle to find their footing after a hefty Marvel push, you can't help but feel heartened with Soule and company's latest effort. Maybe Attilan's best times are still ahead Read Full Review

This fourth issue is just about as uneven (good and bad) as the three that came before it. Read Full Review
