Although the Queen of the Inhumans has had a number of looks over the years (especially recently as she stepped up to a more cosmic level), I must go on record as saying I really LOVE her latest look enough to PERSONALLY Photoshop out the teleporting dog and expert royal ninja.
If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m a card carrying gay geek, I’d say I’m not sure if its just that I’m a sucker for a gal with a plunging neckline and a fabulous hairdo. But despite the fact that this site is all about the cock, I do love Medusa’s new look! It’s regal, sexy, superheroey AND newly single all at the same time. So if Blackbolt IS dead, who would have the guts to come on to Medusa? Any ideas for her royal consort?
Here’s a stroll down memory lane for Mrs Black Bolt if you decide to judge he latest look negatively. I’m not singing the praises of the crotch jewel, but she’s definitely done worse.

I still feel “the Unspoken” is a generic retconned excuse of an Omega level threat. Just kick his ass already and do the inevitable roster shakeup that follows a massive team up.
The epic conclusion! The MIGHTY AVENGERS and members of the NEW AVENGERS, YOUNG AVENGERS and the AVENGERS RESISTANCE assemble against the incalculable might of THE UNSPOKEN!
Plus QUICKSILVER is reunited with the INHUMANS… now what will they do with him? All this and the strange secret of the Infinite Avengers Mansion stands revealed! This one’s got it all!

The best thing to come out of the Secret Invasion has to be the Inhuman’s voyage to take control of their progenitors… the Kree.
A REALM OF KINGS series! Now led by Queen Medusa, the battered and bruised Inhuman royal family struggles to maintain their grip on the reigns of power over the Kree empire. Courtly intrigues and external threats are beginning to erode their rule–but the biggest threat may lurk within the family itself!
WAR OF KINGS’ Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning unite with Pablo Raimondi (X-FACTOR) for the next chapter in the lives of these classic Marvel characters!

I’m totally uninterested in yet another omnipotent retconned character, so I could talk or leave the UNSPOKEN storyline. But I love the Young Avengers and it was Lady Loki’s manipulations that got me onboard for this run of the series, so I’ll deal with a long forgotten Inhuman king to get to the question of the story…
Will Ronin recognize Lady Loki’s reflection in his sword? Or at least will he notice it isn’t Wanda?
“SECRETS & LIES” It’s all out action at the Avengers new headqarters as RONIN and VISION face off against the SCARLET WITCH! Readers already know the Scarlet Witch is secretly LOKI, but could this be the issue where STATURE and the other MIGHTY AVENGERS find out?
Also, on the outskirts of Tibet, QUICKSILVER and a longtime Avengers villain uncover THE UNSPOKEN’S plan to dominate all life on Earth. What is the secret origin of The Slave Engine? And what horribly, freakish thing has it done to the U.S. AGENT? Guest Starring: RONIN and THE YOUNG AVENGERS

The upcoming one-shot War of Kings: Who Will Rule? should answer some questions raised by the aftermath of the cosmic miniseries. With the both Vulcan and Black Bolt seemingly annihilated, the Shi’ar Imperium in chaos and the Inhuman-ruled Kree responsible for a seven parsec wide hole in the space-time-continuum that has been dubbed “the Fault,” two cosmos-spanning empires are left up the proverbial intergalactic creek without leaders to paddle them through it. This leaves the very literal question… Who will rule the Marvel U?
Can Medusa pick up her husband’s scepter and continue to rule the Kree? Will the Kree let her and the Inhuman Royal Family carry on? Crystal was fast becoming the People’s Princess… with Ronan the Accuser at her side could she surpass the sister who has always underestimated her? What about the Shi’ar? Does the eternally loyal servant to the Shi’ar empire – Gladiator, have what it takes to rule it? He doesn’t want the position and just hopes to help find the right person to lead, but then those who seek power aren’t always the best choices either. Perhaps he is a better candidate than he thinks? If not him, who else? Lilandra is dead, D’Ken is dead (again) that leaves… Deathbird? Oh oh.
While I’m sure we’ll have to wait awhile for any gratifying final answers to these questions, this next chapter should start to set the stage for Act III (Act I = Inhuman side of Secret Invasion, Act II = War of Kings) in this cosmic drama.

I’m not a big fan of retconned powerful but somehow forgotten characters (see Sentry, Triumph, Astra and Primus The one exception who I think makes the Marvel U a better place is Jessica Jones, formerly Jewel). So they already have a tough audience in me for this issue… If the Unspoken is so damned powerful, than how is it that he’s been exiled on Earth since the day Black Bolt took the throne but this is the first anyone has heard of him? Sure the Inhumans made a pact to never speak of him, but what about everyone who met him since?
Doom, Thor, Black Bolt, Black Panther, Ka-Zar, Namor…There are many monarchs in the Marvel Universe, but only one so powerful and so reviled that he had to be written out of history. He is THE UNSPOKEN. And his return will have dire consequences on both our world and worlds beyond.
The start of a new storyline that will bring dishonor for one Mighty Avenger, redemption for another, a family reunion, and ties to both DARK REIGN and WAR OF KINGS.
I was amused with Captain America’s comment after the Unspoken annihilated The People’s Defense Force… “Oh my god… …He Alpha-Flighted ‘em.”

Looking forward to picking this up today… (among other things).
The high impact, critically acclaimed sci-fi epic rages towards its explosive climax! Last issue’s jaw-dropping cliffhanger has everyone scrambling! Vulcan’s once unbeatable and vast war machine is grinding to a halt! Black Bolt’s forces are struggling to survive! It’s all coming down to the final clash, king vs. king! But where will the other power players place their loyalty, and can anyone imagine a solution as extreme as the one Medusa is proposing? The Universe is about to change forever in what IGN.com calls “a veritable dream for science fiction/fantasy fans…War of Kings is event comics done right.”

I’ve been following and enjoying the War of Kings – BUT skipping the Darkhawk tie-ins – I just can’t take that character seriously on a cosmic level after Loners. Can anyone fill me in on exactly WHY Christopher Powell is relevant on a cosmic scale? And yes I read the wiki – still don’t see the point (other than selling me another book I don’t want to read).
The Shi’Ar/Inhuman war reaches its most savage level yet! Emperor Vulcan goes for the kill strike, but does he have more enemies on the field of battle…or at home? Meanwhile, Black Bolt discovers that the Inhumans are not quite the happy family he thought they were!
It’s explosive action and universe-changing twists from the DnA/Pelletier War Of Kings team that IGN.com calls “a versatile dream for science fiction and fantasy fans…event comics done right!”
OK that may be a bit overly hyped, but what’s not to like? This is a cool action packed cosmic battle with beloved characters on both sides (I always like the Imperial Guard) and beautifully illustrated by one of the best artists in the biz (and Paul Pelletier has been a favorite since Superboy and the Ravers) as well.

In the first issue, the psychotic lost Summers Brother Vulcan, now Emperor of the Shi’ar blasted his way into Crystal’s royal wedding to Ronan (the Accuser) in an unprovoked assault on the Kree Empire. The Inhumans have sworn revenge and the War of Kings is on.
The cosmic heavyweights come out swinging! Black Bolt! Gladiator! The Inhumans! Vulcan! The Starjammers! As Kree outworlds burn, Shi’Ar forces move in for the kill—as first blood goes to Vulcan and the Imperial Guard! Can anything withstand the military juggernaut of Vulcan’s Imperium? And are the lines of allegiance drawn as clearly as it first appears? The major players make their big moves as the battle that will reshape the cosmic power structure rages on!
I’m loving the Paul Pelletier artwork on this series. Longtime fan of his.

They could not really sell me on the Darkhawk tie-in, (I mean Darkhawk? really? I was unimpressed with him in Loners. Did any of you read it? Thoughts?) but I am interested in what is going on in the main War of Kings storyline.
In the aftermath of the Secret Invasion, Black Bolt has led the Inhumans on a shockingly savage path to restore their strength and security. But that path has brought them into direct confrontation with the Shi’Ar Empire – and their mad ruler Vulcan! Who will get in the first strike? Who will fall on the bloody battlefield? Who will rule? The Imperial Guard, the Starjammers, the Inhuman Royal Family and more of your favorite sci-fi characters are locked on a collision course…and it all starts here! Join the acclaimed team of Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning (NOVA) and Paul Pelletier (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) for a pivotal turning point in Marvel’s

The hunt for Black Bolt concludes – launching the Inhumans into their new destiny in the Marvel Universe! It’s sister vs. sister, cousin vs. cousin, Kree vs. Skrull! The loyalty lines are redrawn within the royal family as the Inhumans’ mission reaches critical mass! Can Medusa and her tribe get it together to save their once and future King? Or has it all been for nothing? The seeds for the WAR OF KINGS are planted right here!
I was enjoying this, but not all that into the bikini catfight aspect of the story – seems gratuitous. I am interested what kind of fallout will result from this Inhuman alliance with the Kree.

We know at some point the King of the Inhumans, Black Bolt, was replaced with a Super Skrull. We’ve seen (in New and Mighty Avengers) how Yellowjacket and Spiderwoman were replaced by Skrulls, but no explanation has been given yet as to what happened to the man who can decimate cities with a whisper.
In the coming August released Secret Invasion: Inhumans #1 we see Tony Stark turn over the Skrull Black Bolt to the Inhumans. Lets just say Medusa is NOT pleased. The art looks amazing.
