As the Inhumans are destined for an expanded role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, here’s the ultimate guide to all the Inhuman comics you can read. The saga of Black Bolt, Medusa, and the kingdom of Attilan can be somewhat confusing, so this should help explain how the Inhumans fit into the Marvel Universe!
I) The Origins of the Inhumans
Inhumans: The Origin of the Inhumans
Fantastic Four #36, #38 to #47, #62 to #65, Fantastic Four Annual #5, partial selections from Fantastic Four #48, #50, #52, #54 to #61
The Fantastic Four Omnibus (Lee & Kirby) Volume 2
Fantastic Four #45 To #47

Update 8.13.16 – The Origins of the Inhumans selection above is now the most cost-effective collection for these early appearances of the Inhumans!
Inhumans first appearances in Fantastic Four #45 – #46 (very slight carry over into #47). Medussa and Gorgon actually appear before this in Fantastic Four, but this is our first formal introduction to the Inhumans of the Marvel Universe.
Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor Volume 6
Thor #146 To #152 (Backup Issues)
Inhumans origins run as back up stories for Thor #146 – #152. Note that only issue #146 features the Inhumans backup feature in Marvel Unlimited.
II) Marvel Knights Inhumans for the 2000’s
Inhumans by Paul Jenkins & Jae Lee
Inhumans #1 To #12 (1998 To 1999)
My favorite Inhumans story, and one of my favorite Marvel graphic novels. Collects the 12 issue miniseries from Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, launching out of the new Marvel Knights imprint in November 1998.
Inhumans #1 To #4 (2000)
Another Inhumans miniseries, this time from Carlos Pachecho, Rafael Marin, and Jose Ladronn. This was one of my least favorite reads on the list, but it does carry the distinction of moving the Inhuman’s royal city, Attilan, to an awesome new location.
Young Inhumans #1 To #12 (2003 – 2004)
Note that this enjoyable look at the young Inhumans is listed simply as “Inhumans (2003 – 2004)” in Marvel Unlimited. Deceptively relevant read for coming Inhumans continuity, and a quality read if you enjoyed the Jenkins and Lee Inhumans.
Inhumans 2099 One-Shot
You don’t need to read this persay, but a mildly bonkers 2099 version of Inhumans from Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman. It’s a relatively quick, fun/horrifying read if you have 10 minutes on Marvel Unlimited.
III) Inhumans and the Marvel Era of Events
Son Of M #1 To #6 (Dec 2005 – May 2006)
Son of M is both enormously relevant to Inhumans continuity, and entirely reliant on reading House of M (in fact, the Son of M trade is listed as a Decimation tie-in). While I certainly encourage you to read House of M, it otherwise has virtually no direct impact on the Inhumans.
Silent War #1 To #6 (Jan 2007 – June 2007)
A uniquely Inhumans focused event/miniseries. The continuity following the conclusion of this series will get very problematic. Just plow ahead, and I promise by Secret Invasion you’ll feel better.
World War Hulk #1 To #6
While this might seem like a Hulk story, it actually delivers major ramifications on the Inhumans, particularly Black Bolt. If you do dive into World War Hulk here, I have two recommendations. The first, is to check out my World War Hulk reading order. And the second is to consider reading both Planet Hulk, and the first issue of New Avengers: Illuminati (below) before WWH.
New Avengers: Illuminati #1 To #5
I highly enjoy all 5 issues, but you only need #1 and #5 if you want to fast track your way to Secret Invasion. That said, New Avengers: Illuminati #3 is very Black Bolt focused, and also provides some interesting continuity build for the upcoming Secret Wars.
IV) Inhumans… In Space! Cosmic Attilan
Secret Invasion: Inhumans #1 To #4
These four issues help right the ship for the Inhumans moving forward. If you want the full context of the event, you can dive into the Secret Invasion reading order.
Mighty Avengers #27
Some bonus, new Inhumans history to add to the mythology.
War Of Kings #1 To #6
I’ll mostly have to direct you to my War of Kings reading order for this one. Major ramifications of the Inhumans as they take to the Marvel Cosmic stage.
Realm Of Kings: Inhumans #1 To #5
Black Bolt’s Inhuman cosmic reign continues with the Realm of Kings reading order.
Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman
Fantastic Four #577, Ff #5 To #11, Fantastic Four #600 To #603
As always, I’d recommend you read the entirity of Jonathan Hickman’s Fantastic Four run for both 1) a great comics experience and 2) full understanding of the Inhumans stories within. Nonetheless, if you’re on a crunch, these issues will get you the most directly realted Inhumans pieces of the puzzle.
V) Infinity, Inhumanity, and All-New Inhuman
For the full context of this time period, I recommend Comic Book Herald’s complete Marvel NOW! reading order.
New Avengers Volume 1: Everything Dies
New Avengers #1 To #7
Hickman’s New Avengers establishes Black Bolt’s involvement in the larger Marvel Universe leading up to Infinity.
Infinity #1 To #6, New Avengers #8 To #12
Most notable issues for the Inhumans are Infinity #4 and New Avengers #12. For a full Infinity reading order.
Avengers Assemble 21.Inh-23.Inh, 24-25; Inhumanity 1-2; Uncanny X-Men 15.Inh; Indestructible Hulk 17.Inh-18.Inh, 19; New Avengers 13.Inh; Iron Man 20
You can find the proper Inhumanity reading order in the above Infinity guide.
Inhuman 1-6
Perhaps the greatest character creation of Marvel’s 2000’s, the all-new Ms. Marvel finds her origins in the wake of Inhumanity.
For the rest of Kamala Khan’s comics, I recommend Comic Book Herald’s complete Ms. Marvel reading order.
Inhuman 7-12
VI) All-New All-Different Inhumans

Charles Soule's run ended in Inhumans Vol. 3 - Lineage. Includes Inhumans (2014) 12-14, Annual #1.
*by end, i mean that series ended prior to Secret Wars. He continues with Uncanny Inhumans afterward.
Personally i recommend including the Black Bolt (2017) solo series by Saladin Ahmed.

First off, that you did this, that you compiled this list is an amazing achievement. What a monumental task!!! Well done! Can you help me resolve a question I have in regards to volume continuity? Inhumans vol 6 is listed everywhere in the world as being volume 4. However and quite clearly, the print issues are listed as volume 6. It is the 12 issue July 2003 - June 2004 series titled simply "Inhumans". Any insight you can add here would be greatly appreciated.
Just check at the full marvel universe reading order
Hello Dave!
I could not understand how volume 3 picks off where volume 2 lefts.I mean they are in shambles at the end of Jenkins vol. 2 but vol. 3 seems completely unrelated to it and in vol. 4 although I have only read 2 issues it seems they had been existing in isolation from humans forever on moon which defies what happened in jenkins vol. 2.Don't judge me because I started reading these comics recently.
But any explanation would be appreciated.
Actually I figured out vol. 4 is related to 2 but still can't fit vol.3 of ronan and kree stuff anywhere.Also at the end of vol. 2 they were at some mountain but now they are at moon ?
Hey there. They get to the moon via. Fantastic Four 51-54 🙂
I think this need slighly update, love the Uncanny Inhumans book by Charles Soule, thanks for this one, and what about the first volume of their series, but thanks for all this.
Hey there. They get to the moon via. Fantastic Four 51-54 :)
i love the inhumans but hate it since inhumamity and I hate the uncanny inhumans they are now like mutants I wish they could give us the royal family back
Thanks so much for this particular list and the rest of your Marvel reading orders! I really enjoy them. I was wondering where the Inhumans series from 1975-1977 falls in the timeline. I believe it had 12 issues. Thanks again!
Thank you for the list, you did a good job. I really enjoy the Inhumans and many other Marvel lines... but this is another great example as to why I absolutely hate huge crossover events. As an Unlimited sub it is easier to read them, but I don't want to have to read WWH and New Avengers(any avengers for that matter) to get the full story of characters(the Inhumans) I really am interested in. You say I can skip it but I did skip a few after Silent War on to Secret Invasion, in the order you gave, and I feel like there's a huge gap in the story.
Now, I know what many will say, "They're all good read them." I don't want to. I want to use my time on what I desire most. And when you pick up another series you feel obligated to read even more into that series(your suggestion into reading WWH and FF series', i feel I have to read more into Hulk and FF, which I don't like FF at all i just put up with reading some cause Inhumans are important in their story).
I hate how Marvel is starting to make it worse to read your favorite character. Another example is I love Spider-man 2099, but boy does the spider-verse event ruin part of the 2014 series and other series'. I just wish they wouldn't force you to have to go out and buy these comics you really don't care for to read about the characters you do. Like the Moon Knight 2014 series is one of the greatest modern Marvel comics because they didn't cross-even the series at all.
Marvel is starting to be as bad as DC in the event regard. Valiant I would say is the best without a doubt(even though there are some hiccups, still not as bad)
Again though thank you for the list. It helps to know what I have to read even if I don't want to, at the very least wiki it.
Valiant's pretty great, I definitely agree with you there.
I would say given your thoughts here, I recommend checking out the Marvel NOW Inhuman run (2014 - present). It's relatively self-contained, and honestly when it hits the Axis tie-ins, I'd just skip reading Axis and plow ahead.
Hi Dave. I started reading the Inhumans story last week. Thanks to you I am almost done. I only got confuse to the INHUMANITY reading order. What do you mean by the 'Inh' on " Inh 23; Inh 24-25."??
I'll wait for your response :) Thank you.
There was a period of time during this event when Marvel numbered their comics w/ .INH to indicate it was part of Inhumanity. For all intents and purposes, it's just Uncanny X-Men #15, etc. Enjoy!
Where does Inhumans: By Right of Birth fall into this?
I would like to know as well.
By Right of Birth is a late 80's graphic novel by Ann Nocenti, detailing the birth of Ahura--son of Medusa and Black Bolt. Nocenti followed up on this story during her Daredevil run in issues #272-282 (not on Marvel Unlimited, unfortunately). In the reading guide above, it would come before Jenkins' Inhumans.
Of note, another Inhumans crossover with the FF--Atlantis Rising--takes place between the Nocenti storyline and Jenkins series.
Awesome feedback! I'll have to seek out that Nocenti graphic novel, that was not on my radar.
Hi there and greeting from acrross the pond :) really enjoy your website! I am new to reading comics so it is hard to know where to start lol. I am interested in the inhumans so I am gonna start there then we will see thinking maybe civil war stuff which I have read some of a while ago. Or maybe Infinity stuff or maybe... lol. so many choices my heads gonna explode lol. Just signed up for Marvel Unlimited so could do with the next year off work :D
A Marvel Unlimited sabbatical is a GREAT idea :) Welcome aboard, and just let me know if you have any questions.
Enjoy the comics!
