At long last, the Inhumans get the star treatment they deserve, and by doing this, Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee set a standard that will more than likely be ignored by other Marvel titles... but anyway, it's a very well-written story with beautiful art. Jenkins approached this storyline in a rare fashion (for these days), for while the 12 issues composed one complete suspenseful story, every issue could stand on its own. Also, he provides the Inhumans with personalities, making them seem much more human than the actual humans they reluctantly have to deal with. Jae Lee's artwork has progressed tremendously since his time on Namor, Hellshock, etc., and his interpretation of the group is amazing. His work is very detailed, but contains a large amount of shadow, giving the story a sense of mystery. The Inhumans haven't been given such care since the birth of Crystal's child in Fantastic Four, and that was a looooong time ago.
This is probably one of the best books Marvel has put out in the last 10 years, don't pass it by.
