But now Attilan is under attack from without and within. Can the Royal Family led by the mute Black Bolt repel the foreign invaders who assail their outer defenses as well as the internal threat of Black Bolts insane brother Maximus the Mad? Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee infuse one of Marvels oldest families with a modern sensibility - including international politics class dissension and the age-old struggle of growing up. Dark and grimly compelling it remains one of Marvel Knights most beloved stories. COLLECTING: Inhumans (1998) 1-12
