Inhumans, Vol. 1: Culture Shock

Average rating2

I'm not sure that I'm very interested in the story, or the characters - they're pretty stock Marvel (anti-)heroes, and the plot doesn't really seem to be going far. Some of the inhumans may think they've been sent to destroy humans, others have come on a diplomatic mission (the purported reason for their visit), and I'm sure that a catastrophic fight/battle/falling-out will occur. The art is interesting, but nothing stunning.

But: the inhumans have been sent from their home on the Moon to live among the humans in ... Madison, WI! They attend the UW, live on “Fraternity Row”, and shop on State Street. They even visit the Memorial Union Terrace (which looks much more like a beach in Malibu than the lakeshore in Madtown...).

I'll read the next in the series just to see how close to right I am, and to see how they decide to portray Madison in this next volume.
