Infinity #5 (Comics) Preview

Thanos and the Black Order might just have bitten off more than they could chew as they find themselves up against a whole new kind of hero.

With our heroes fighting the Builders at other end of the universe, Black Bolt and Maximus have done the unthinkable – detonated a Terrigen Bomb over New York City! Thousands of dormant Inhumans living amongst us have begun to awaken, possessing new and fearsome powers. Earth’s last hope may be in the hands of these new super beings! But will they be enough to stand against Thanos and his sinister Black Order? Or will they join him?

Thousands of new characters entering the Marvel Universe definitely wasn’t something I saw coming. With their sheer numbers, this new wave of Inhumans represents some serious bulking up of the heroic and (probably) villainous ranks of Marvel’s superhero landscape.

At the very least, it’ll be pretty interesting to see what happens as a repercussion from all this and just what the fallout might be. In the meantime though, that’s one massive amount of super-powered humans for Thanos and his invading Black Order to handle. Whether the warlord is up to it or not remains to be seen.

Infinity #5 hits the stands this month from the creative team of Jonathan Hickman, Jerome Opena and Dustin Weaver.
