They're just ordinary exchange students from a far-off land, here to learn about our culture - except their home is a mysterious city on the moon and they each possess fabulous, exotic abilities and appearances. The product of experiments on humanity by an alien culture a millennia ago, the Inhumans are a race governed by the laws of genetics. Here as nowhere else, diversity and individuality are prized beyond compare. The Inhumans have flourished in isolation from humanity within their island kingdom of Attilan on the surface of the moon, but what happens when their king decides to send some of his subjects to Earth to learn about humans? Will they be able to integrate into human culture? More important, will they even try? The next generation of Inhumans star in this atmospheric new ensemble drama. Collects Inhumans #1-6.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's a shame really..., Oct 9 2005
By Rebecca Williams "-jealous much?" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Inhumans Volume 1: Culture Shock Digest (Paperback)
McKeever weaves a believable (for a comic) and enthralling story, involving a colorful cast of teenage characters. Teenage characters who happen to live on the moon. And have super powers.The plot is strong and well paced, if not a little long-winded. This arc probably didn't need a whole six issues, but in the digest form it's cut down a bit, making it a reasonable length for what goes on.
The characters can be identified with easily, especially by teenagers, but the focus on the characters is a bit off. It isn't clearly shown in this digest if McKeever intended for San to be the main character or Tonaja, or if this is indeed a team book. Later in the series Tonaja takes the spotlight, while still keeping the team aspect of the book alive.
The art is very nice, and the fantastic culture of the Inhumans is explored by the creative and beautiful penicls and inks. This is the type of book where creativity can really be used, building and characters may look quirky and unique. This opportunity was taken advantage of, creating a cohesive and amazing look to the book.
With a solid story, great art, and fun characters, this digest is a winner. I'm disappointed that a second digest hasn't been published, and that the series was cancelled after just over ten issues.
Listmania!
