Each week we highlight a classic storyline told in full inside Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, the greatest collection of Marvel comics available online! This week we remember the introduction to the Inhumans, spanning from issues #44 to #47 of FANTASTIC FOUR.  Humans? Surely not. Mutants? Not exactly.
A mystery as much to themselves as to others, the Inhumans came from experiments meant to develop superhuman beings during the Kree-Skrull War. Now united together as a royal family, they live alongside their race in their transportable city of Attilan.
The first introduction to this super hero team in FANTASTIC FOUR #44 sprang from a rather un-heroic act: a carjacking at gunpoint, courtesy of Medusa. And wherever one Inhuman goes, action always follows. The introductory Inhumans saga, spanning FANTASTIC FOUR #44 to FANTASTIC FOUR #47, provides for spectacular feats and incredible battles, courtesy of the legendary creative duo of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Fast-paced adventures, mixed with lowbrow humor and light-hearted romantic disputes compliment the rest of the story. Inhumans have feelings after all.
From brave yet tortured leader Black Bolt to Lockjaw, the teleporting family pet, no two Inhumans seem alike. When they make their comeback in WAR OF KINGS, who knows what will happen? Expect excitement and epic scuffles on every page and get to know these amazing characters as they first appeared with Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited!
