Marvel first revealed their plans for Inhumanity this past summer. This storyline builds from the fallout of Infinity, as thousands of new Inhumans are spontaneously appearing across the globe. The centerpiece of Inhumanity is an ongoing book called Inhuman, from writer Matt Fraction and artist Joe Madureira. Inhuman aims to explore the new, chaotic state of the Inhuman royal family and the lasting impact these new Inhumans are having on the Marvel Universe.

However, the first issue was delayed from its originally announced January 2014 ship date to April. At the time, no specific reason was given for the delay. Today Marvel revealed that the delay is a result of Fraction leaving the series. Instead, Charles Soule will take the reins of the book. Soule is best known these days for writing approximately 45% of all comics published in the industry (including Thunderbolts, Red Lanterns, Superman/Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, and the upcoming She-Hulk). Madureira will remain on board as artist."Years ago, young(er) Charles made up a list of Marvel characters that would be a blast to someday write - my Marvel Dream Team, basically – and the Inhumans were on that list,” said Soule in Marvel's press release. “So getting an opportunity to work with those awesome, strange, classic characters, as well as to expand the existing mythology into cool new places is pretty extraordinary. Infinity and Inhumanity work as amazing springboards to new stories and new characters, and I cannot wait to create them!”

So it looks to be a case of good news/bad news. If Soule can bring the same level of quality to Inhuman found in books like Swamp Thing, it'll instantly become one of Marvel's best books. On the other hand, we're disappointed we won't get to see more of Fraction's take on this franchise beyond his two Inhumanity one-shots. It's also disappointing to note that Fraction departed his Fantastic Four books early to work on Inhuman.Let us know your thoughts on this creative team switch in the comments section below.
