LOS ANGELES — Obsessing over royal families isn't just for British monarchs and Game of Thrones anymore. Make way for "Uncanny Inhumans," who'll play a major part in Marvel Comics' "All-New, All-Different" relaunch — and are getting a couple of new members in Hank McCoy (Beast) and Johnny Storm (Human Torch).

Marvel has been upping the profile of its royal family of superheroes for some time now, from the announcement of an Inhumans movie (set for July 2019) to the Inhumans thread in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and patriarch Black Bolt's major role in the "Infinity" event of late 2013.

Judging by what the publisher has planned for the fall, the Inhumans will continue to take a step forward into the spotlight across all Marvel platforms.

And if Guardians of the Galaxy has taught Marvel anything, it's that a lesser-known cache of characters can blow up with just the right push. To wit: Steve McNiven, who drew Civil War — one of Marvel's most successful books of all time, and the basis for the next Captain America movie — will ink this incarnation of Inhumans that are soon coming to the big screen.

"Kind of like what we did with Guardians, and are doing with Doctor Strange — once we make this movie announcement, we wanted to come out of the gate swingin'," said Charles Soule, who is writing "Uncanny Inhumans," which will be the Inhumans' flagship title this fall, after the conclusion of "Secret Wars."

Eight months will have passed between that monumental finale and the beginning of all Marvel's reboots — about 60 titles in all will re-start with fresh No. 1s — and something "mysterious" will have transpired in that time between the mutants and the Inhumans. Whatever it is, it will have landed Hank McCoy on the side of the royal family (something we didn't know before), as well as Johnny Storm (something we sort of did).

The Inhumans first appeared in "Fantastic Four" #45 in 1965, and their origin has always remained about the same: Aliens who visited Earth during the Stone Age mixed their DNA with early man, and that strain was carried down through certain bloodlines. It can only be activated via exposure to the (fictional) Terrigen Mist, which causes carriers to go through a metamorphosis from their normal human form to something — uncanny.

Speaking of, the "Uncanny" label is something that the X-Men and Avengers have carried on their banners over the years, though it really belongs to the Inhumans.

"'Uncanny' was first associated with the Inhumans, not everybody knows that," Soule told Mashable. "Because it wasn’t the huge explosion with X-Men at first … it means, and I think it fits the Inhumans better anyway, 'strange and mysterious.' It just means, 'This is a big deal, Marvel readers!'"

That "big deal" extends well beyond this royal family of Black Bolt and estranged wife Medusa — both of whom will be searching for their lost son. The Terrigen Mist was released across the Earth in the "Infinity" battle with Thanos, which brought down the family's sanctuary floating city of Attilan. That event awakened Inhuman powers in countless people all across the planet, including the new Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan, now a member of the central Avengers team.

"It’s this awesome, swirling superhero story that has a lot of things going on — and is a blast," Soule said.

"Uncanny Inhumans" #1 is due in October.
