Amongst the exciting announcements Marvel made during their internet-breaking even last night where they unveiled pretty much every film they've got coming up until you're the sort of age where caring about Doctor Strange so much is getting a little odd was one that was more of a wild card. The Inhumans have popped up as supporting characters in a bunch of Marvel comics over the years, have only sporadically headlined their own title, and are generally really frickin' weird. Remind you of anybody? Basically the Inhumans could be the next Guardians Of The Galaxy - an obscure comic book team that doesn't have much mainstream recognition, which could turn out to be its greatest asset. Not that the tones are in any way similar (rather than witty space losers, it's angsty space mutants), but that's good. You need some variation. This could be like Marvel's cosmic Game Of Thrones, sort of. Sound intriguing? It should. If you're one of the unwashed masses who doesn't know a Terrigen mist from something that sounds like Terrigen mist, here are five things you need to know about the Inhumans.
