New Avengers – The Road To Inhumanity?

Today's New Avengers #8 is an Infinity Prelude. But it also seems to an Inhumanity Prelude as well.

Aside from another Mr Fantastic Four-remote-relocation scene, which seems to imply he's a bit of a dick for not doing the same thing over at FF to let them know everything is okay, we also get a sledgehammer scene with Maximus and the housing for the Terrigen crystals, the mists of which, we know are to spread all over the Earth, triggering a million dormant Inhumans across the globe…

The crumbling… of kingdoms

And the setting up of new Houses across the planet in the manner of A Game Of Thrones.

While at San Diego Comic Con, I talked to a Marvel executive who told me how one of Jonathan Hickman's strengths was not just his insanely complex and expanding structures of storytelling, but how those structures could absorb and respond to other people's stories, such as Matt Fraction's upcoming Inhuman, and reflect, foreshadow and become part of their stories as well in a way that just seems to natural.

Basically, this just happened many months ahead of schedule in New Avengers #8…
