This comprehensive reading order powered by our friends at www.comicbookreadingorders.com has everything you need to know to start reading Inhumans comics - including multiple jumping on points, depending on how far back you want to go.

At the beginning of the Kree-Skrull War, millions of years ago, the alien Kree established a station on the planet Uranus. They discovered that sentient life on nearby Earth had genetic potential invested in it by the alien Celestials. The Kree began to experiment on Earth’s then-primitive Homo sapiens to produce the genetically advanced Inhuman race. Although their experiments were successful in creating a strain of humanity with extraordinary abilities, the Kree abandoned their experiment. The Inhumans went on to form a society of their own, which thrived in seclusion from the rest of humanity and developed advanced technology.

First Appearance: Fantastic Four #45 (1965) Creators: Stan Lee, Jack Kirby Key Members: Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, Gorgon, Triton, Crystal, Maximus the Mad

A Note on Buying Old Comics

Individual issues of old comics can always be nabbed on Ebay or from your friendly local comic shop, but there's no reason to read them that way if you aren't a hardcore collector. Large Masterworks collections or trade paperbacks can be bought physically or digitally - they're the best way to quickly build your back-catalogue, and the digital versions are usually pretty cheap, too. We're linking to Amazon.com digital versions here, when available.

All digital comics bought on Amazon are also accessible on Comixology, which is one of the best platforms for reading digital comics. So we recommend you buy the digital comics on Amazon, where they're often a bit cheaper, and then read them using Comixology's browser or mobile apps.

Subscription services like Comixology Unlimited and Marvel Unlimited are also excellent options for comic binging. Happy reading!
