This December, the Inhumans’ world expands with the debut of a second ongoing series from writers Charles Soule and James Asmus, and artist Stefano Caselli.

ALL-NEW INHUMANS features Crystal leading a team including Gorgon, Flint, Naja, and Grid as they set out to examine mysterious “Skyspears” that start popping up across the globe, objects that cause an Inhuman’s power levels to spike when in their proximity.

“These stories follow a diplomatic mission/covert strike team effort lead by Crystal,” relates Asmus. “She’s been at the center of the Inhumans, but also served as an Avenger, alongside the Fantastic Four, and even dabbled with the X-Men when she was married to Quicksilver. She’s been a constant presence in the Marvel Universe, but leading this faction of NuHumans is her stepping up in a big way.”

According to Soule, the Skyspears that Crystal’s team will investigate also tie into the larger ongoing plans for the Inhumans in significant ways.

“Skyspears are big obelisk-type artifacts that have appeared in or near population centers all around the globe,” explains Soule. “They can't be moved, or damaged, or even really affected in any way. Their purpose is part of a pretty long play, but the All-New Inhumans will definitely be involved with their ongoing story.”

ALL-NEW INHUMANS will complement its sister title, UNCANNY INHUMANS by Soule and Steve McNiven, in ways that will allow the Inhuman corner of the Marvel Universe to become even bigger.

“For the most part, UNCANNY INHUMANS focuses on the more epic conflicts of the Inhuman Royal Family, while our book focuses on the sudden explosion of NuHumans,” Asmus elaborates. “Our stories, at first, will be a little smaller in scope, with deeply personal consequences for the characters. But we’re building up a cast and a portrait of the new Inhuman world that will soon have to go toe-to-toe with Marvel’s big boys in a very high-stakes way.

“ALL-NEW INHUMANS in particular will focus on the strange and dangerous complications that come from a global unleashing of NuHumans,” the writer continues. “This book will be the number one way to see exactly how the Marvel Universe is changing as the Terrigen Cloud moves through the world. It’s about getting into countries hit by the cloud--through any means necessary--to help those who need it, and stop those out to kill/exploit/harvest their fellow NuHumans. But of course, new teams and global politics being what they are, there are a million ways for even the best intentions to go wrong. And maybe not everyone on our team has the best intentions to begin with…”

That mission statement comes directly from the Queen of the Inhumans herself, but as with any family, some tension may arise between Crystal and Medusa.

“Crystal and Gorgon are running their mission directly in coordination with Queen Medusa’s vision for the Inhumans,” the writer continues. “But that doesn’t mean Crystal completely sees eye-to-eye with her sister. And when they do have to fully come together, it will be because something has gone very wrong.”

Asmus also promises that the series will start laying seeds for some massive events down the line.

“We’re definitely directly building to at least two big, big things that will affect the nature of the wider Marvel Universe as well characters near and far outside of the Inhumans,” he teases.

Soule also hints at some larger ties not just between the series featuring Inhumans, but with another section of the Marvel Universe.

“The Inhuman corner of the Marvel Universe is a pretty cool place, especially once you bring in books like MS. MARVEL and KARNAK,” Soule points out. “They're all part of a larger picture, and they're all connected in large and small ways. Similarly, the Inhumans are part of the huge tapestry that is the Marvel Universe, and we'll see all the threads getting woven together as we move into 2016. I know there are some really cool stories coming up with respect to the X-Men, for one thing...”

Finally, Asmus most looks forward to helping to broaden the Inhumans’ world with the help of his artistic collaborator, Stefano Caselli.

“I have been having a blast digging into the new characters Charles created, and crafting new ones myself. I think this book being all about new blood and a new, complex era for the Inhumans makes it a perfect book for anyone who hasn’t ventured much into their corner of the Marvel mythology. I’ve been thrilled and excited by the way comics readership has broadened and invested themselves in new, rich, and genuinely diverse characters.  That kind of sincere complexity of characters, worlds, and ideas always defined my favorite books--and ALL-NEW INHUMANS has been a dream-come-true chance to do that kind fresh and expansive creation with Marvel.

“Plus, Stefano Caselli is onboard! He has long been one of my favorite artists in comics for his incredible blend of rich characterization and absolutely visceral action work.  His work is so beautiful, in fact, that I’ll try not to cover it up with as many words as I usually do!”
