Now that the Secret Wars event series is in place and we know of the three distinct imprints that are going to run alongside it, Marvel has introduced a new Battleworld series with Inhumans: Attilan Rising. Set to debut in May 2015, the book comes from Charles Soule, who writes the main Inhuman series, and artist John Timms. The covers by Dave Johnson and W. Scott Forbes have been revealed as well for it, giving us a better look at how the trade dress will look with these titles.
“One of the ideas behind Inhumans: Attilan Rising from the start was to put Medusa, Black Bolt, Reader, Iso and other characters from Inhuman into a new context,” says Charles Soule, in an interview with Marvel.com. “That’s part of the fun of an event like Secret Wars. Things don’t have to be the way we’re used to seeing them.”
“My initial concept was ‘life during wartime’,” continued Soule. “The relationships we’re used to seeing will be different in this story. Huge drama, spies, glamour, action, betrayal, sabotage. My hope is that it won’t feel like anything else out there.”
Plot Concept: Medusa, ruler of Attilan and Queen of the Inhumans, has been tasked with rooting out the rebels, and crushing their resistance beneath her steely tendrils of hair. Yet a chance encounter with the head of the insurgency will change everything. A man named – BLACK BOLT! And things are about to get complicated.
