Inhumanity #1 review

Attilan has fallen. The floating stronghold of the Inhumans has blasted apart above the planet, raining down Terrigen Mists to transform humans with Inhuman DNA. New super-powered beings are popping up all over the world … … or so we’re told. We’re told an awful lot in this continuation of recent Marvel event Infinity. Our […]

They’ve fed the hungry, stopped wars, ended the energy crisis and they plan […]
