Marvel Comics has launched a new title this week that they actually have a lot riding on with Inhumanity. Written by Matt Fraction with artwork by Olivier Coipel, it’ll likely go unnoticed by those that don’t focus on the comics all that much but enjoy the larger Marvel properties such as the movies. Marvel has put together a video trailer for the comic and you can pretty much see this being done as a theatrical movie or some series at some point, which is why there’s a lot riding on it. It’s a mix of an old and new property in an attempt to get something out there and with the synergy that exists between the comics and what they’re doing and how things are being handled through other media, you can see how this is trying to seed what will come down the line. So it’s worth taking a gander at now.
