Publication history
"Inhumanity" was announced in July 2013 as a post-Infinity status-quo change, with Matt Fraction helming a new Inhumans series, titled Inhuman, which would be at the heart of the storyline. Axel Alonso, Marvel's editor-in-chief, said
The effect on the Marvel Universe will be seismic...You might learn that your new self is fantastic, beautiful, filled with immense power...By the same token, you could turn around and find out that you're nothing. You're a blob. You have no powers. You can create a little flame out of your pinkie.
Fraction added "Our focus characters are drawn into the palace intrigue of this shattered Inhumans Royal family. It becomes a superhero story and a mythical story, all revolving around turning the world into a world full of superheroes."[2]
In September 2013, Marvel began releasing various teaser images asking "Is she...", "Is he...", "Are we..." leading up to the unveiling of the cover of Inhumanity #1, a one-shot to be written by Matt Fraction.[3] Later in the month, Marvel announced a host of tie-ins to Inhumanity, including New Avengers, Avengers A.I., Mighty Avengers, Avengers Assemble, and a new limited series spinning out of Inhumanity, titled Inhumanity: The Awakening, which follows the events of Infinity: The Hunt.[4][5][6][7]
A trailer was released on December 12, 2013.
