I thought the MCU had already introduced the Inhumans - very disappointingly - on tv rather than the big screen, but isn't it supposedly all the same universe?
Who are all the characters shown on this cover?; some of them, I am not familiar with.
Another great cover and a team up that really should have happened! Well done!
Who says that all "normal" people will regard the Inhumans and Eternals as superheroes? J. Jonah Jameson, for instance, regards himself as perfectly normal. And look how he feels about the activities of Spider-Man!
@Davejonz: no more so than the CW's Arrowverse takes place in the same universe as the DC feature films.
The truth about Inhumans in the MCU is somewhere between Davejonz' and Anon@8:47's remarks: it really depends on whether Kevin Feige is willing to keep Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and (the unfairly much-maligned) Inhumans in the MCU. Fans have come to love the characters on the former show, including Chloe Bennett's Quake and Natalia Cordova-Buckley's Yo-Yo, both of whom are Inhumans, and there's some value to the latter show so what happens on Ms. Marvel will depend on his decision about those. I'm among those who would love to see both continue, though I recognize that that could complicate things for Ms. Marvel.
As for the X-Men, the Eternals are acknowledged as a race of protectors of humanity, and Inhumans tend to isolate themselves as a separate people. Mutants, on the other hand, have declared themselves a separate species destined to replace humanity, which sounds like a threat, and the species name of Homo Superior doesn't help matters any.
Cary, of course, has a good point about JJJ. There's no telling what his take on Eternals and Inhumans would be in the MCU.
I thought it had been stated at the outset that Agents of SHIELD, Inhumans, and, for that matter, the Netflix series were all considered part of the MCU. Hence the appearances of Fury & Sif on SHIELD, the ties to the movies, either by directly showing tech & aftermaths in SHIELD or mentioning movie events in the Netflix shows...
That's kind of the problem with modern X-Men anyway. With all these other sources of superpowers out there what makes mutants so special in being hated and feared when the other superheroes have plenty of people celebrating their heroics?
@Nathan: Yes, that was the original intent for all of the Marvel TV series on ABC, Netflix, Freeform, etc. The problem is, at the time those shows were run by someone other than Kevin Feige, and nobody's sure yet how much of it he'll recognize.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Netflix shows (excepting Iron Fist) have strong fan followings, though the others were somewhat weaker. The only thing that ever connected the movies to the TV shows (as opposed to vice versa) was Edwin Jarvis' cameo on Avengers: Endgame.
So, the general consensus seems to be that Feige will be cherry-picking from the TV shows, bringing in only the most popular characters that fit his vision for the MCU and disposing of the rest.
In other words: sort of what happened when George Lucas sold the Star Wars universe to Marvel-Disney. The stories of the Expanded Universe (which had had his previous blessing) suddenly became "non-canonical" after the release of the prequel trilogy. Only for the director of Episodes 7 and 9, in the post-ROTJ trilogy, to harvest the best elements of the SWEU and use rebooted versions of same in those flicks!
I'd rather focus on Captain Comet and his claim to be "the world's first mutant". How about a cover featuring Marvel's first mutant, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner, teaming up/slugging it out with Captain Comet?
That's a particularly striking cover due to your work of course but also the original artists. I have to admit I don't know which original artist was responsible for what, but whichever did the Marvel mutant art really grouped the figures well in space around the cover. On the other hand, though, they apparently had no interest in the topography of the scene because they're all laid flat with no sense of anything but a flat plane laid underneath them be it ground or other figures. A number of them seem to be lacking legs as well, the Beast in particular. Now I only noticed this on reflection because the artist did otherwise do a really nice job with it, but the much more 3-D rendering of Captain Comet and the 3-D rendering of the X-people costumes kinda calls attention to it. But, again, striking nonetheless.
@Anon@4:51: That's a much better comparison.
Inhumans will most assuredly not be existing in Kevin Feige's MCU. And the concept on Mutants (descendants of Eternals) will be given a different spin.
@Anon@10:50: What's your source for this information?
What else but Terrigen's Mist-y Rivers.
Any relation to Charles "Dirty" Rivers?
P.S.--no, Boston ain't my home!
The Standells will get you for that.
@Shadow Wing Tronix: a very good point. And Marvel's editorial PTB's felt the same way. That's why they published that "M-Day" story arc, circa ten years back. After all; one can't realistically be a persecuted _minority_ when you outnumber the persecutors!
