The Inhumans, by Paul Jenkins

[Tobias March]

Okay, now | am much with the love for Paul Jenkins' "The Sentry", and I'm also fond of McKeever's Inhumans trade, should I give the Marvel Knights run a try. Years ago a very excited comic store clerk in Galway tried to convince to part with thirty quid to buy it. Should I?

"Imhumans" by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee was the prequel for McKeever's brilliant yet shotlives series. Many of the characters McKeever used had their first appereance in the Jenkins series.
If you like comic books with a lot of dialogue and talking heads, then I highly recommend it. It's a fine read. Especiallyx if you like "The Sentry" by the same team. :)

It's good, and the issues where the narration is along the lines of "What would you do if..." are wonderful. (They even do Lockjaw.)

Did this series win some kind of award?

I loved it and I couldn't stop telling people how much I did and that they should get it. I dare say that it gave me a chill in some parts I hadn't felt since 'Watchmen', and you gotta be pretty good to do that for me. I only wished his run on TSSM was equally as good. Jae Lee was great as usual, too. His art alone is worth the price.

I did get round to reading it last weekend. Very good. I thought Jenkins nailed a lot of the Inhumans in the spirit of Kirby, but also managed to further their stories beyond the little ground they'd covered since the sixties. Also the new additions to the characters, particularly Dewoz who I would love to see more of beyond McKeever's cancelled series (heck I'd love to see any of them!).

IDEA! The Sentry could be a friend to the Inhumans, and Karnak in particular (he's pretty much invulnerable, so he can give K a good spar) so he visits them in the new Sentry miniseries! :D

It won the Eisner for best new series in 1999.

Ah, so you were piggy-backing off of someone else's good work, were you? ;) :D
Just joking, been meaning to get around to the digests, are they good? (Please, someone other than Sean answer that...)

I loved the issue that was told mostly from Lockjaw's POV. And in the final issue, where Jenkins goes "Imagine you're a dog..."

Did Medusa get her hair back in the second series?

I quite liked the first one. I have no idea if the rest of the series is to be collected (Sean could steer us right on that one). But yes, well entertaining, with the Inhumans as exchange students in a hostile culture (they were treated like mutants with diplomatic immunity - whereas the Inhumans remember how Attilan was attacked quite recently - the tension was nicely handled).

Yup. It grew back.

I haven't seen it scheduled, but my (admittedly hazy) recollection is that they intend to if the first one sells well enough.
