Inhumans
Comics
Inhuman (writer: Charles Soule/various artists): Yes, it’s easy to just go and call the Inhumans “space X-Men,” which they basically are. But over the years, the secret society of alien-altered humans have been growing in prominence, and there’s no better time to learn about them than right now. While her husband Black Bolt died unleashing a Terrigen Mist that covers the entire planet and unlocks the Inhuman gene all over the globe, it turns out that’s the least of Medusa’s problems. Along with creating an elite team to track down NuHumans and protect them from an Inhuman with a Darwin mentality, she’s got to deal with traitors among her people and her seemingly not so dead husband. If you’ve had a growing interest in the Inhumans and want to read Game of Thrones with superpowers, this is your book.
Ms. Marvel (writer: G. Willow Wilson/various artists): Among the humans who’ve discovered their Inhuman abilities is Muslim American teenager Kamala Khan. Gifted with the ability to alter her body’s shape at will, Kamala takes up the title of Ms. Marvel to protect the people of Jersey City from crazy villains while trying to get a handle on her new life. This kid’s gonna go places, and her story is sure to resonate with audiences of all kinds.
TV
Agents of SHIELD: The first MCU TV show had an admittedly shaky start, but has since found itself with season two. Rather than using watered down versions of classic comic book villains (that Marvel actually owns the rights to), SHIELD begins peeling back layers of the war against HYDRA to bring the Inhumans right into the center. If you fell off with the series after the first season, consider this a change in the right direction.
