Dale Eaglesham is on duty in this issue of Fantastic Four and you know it is just going to be detailed, smooth and a good read. Coupled with decent colouring and this book is a great opening chapter to a new epic. I say epic because this issue is indeed a game changer in two aspects - the Inhumans and the cosmic corner of the Marvel U
We start off with a quick back step into the not too distant past and then time passes ... and before you know it something gigantic comes forward to the moon. Naturally our friends the FF discovers this before anyone else. And being the intrepid explorers that they are, they journey upwards and outwards into space and the moon only to find out the truth and that truth is the true origins of the Inhumans as a race not a super hero team
SPOILER ALERT
Basically the earth spawned Inhumans have learnt that the Kree who created them eons ago had gone across the galaxy to seed other races trying to find those that are not at an evolutionary dead end to see how far their genetic structure can be developed. It is their hope that somehow with this knowledge it can help the Kree to give their own genetic structure a kick in the nuts so to speak. So aside from humanoid Inhumans, we see now that there are four other success stories and while the assembly here is "peaceful" some of the alien races have been known to be vile villains:
(a) Fin people - or those who watched GOTG movie knows, the Yondu tribe
(b) Wraithkind - for those who follow Rom these are super nasties
(c) Horsies - and for those who remembered early Power Pack from the 80s/ 90s, well here it is a reappearance by their buddy and savious
(d) Badoon - another GOTG group where this alien race wiped out and conquered huge chunks of the future
So why are they all here safe in the knowledge of their origin?
Well suffice to say this is but the opening gambit and we have to continue to find out more. With the awesome art and decent storyline albeit another retcon of sorts, this makes a must buy for the next issue
