The Inhumans have been getting plenty of love from Marvel lately, and even more so with the advent of the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe. But perhaps no new Inhumans comic is more promising than Karnak. This standalone series revolves around the recently resurrected warrior as he applies his talent for seeing the flaw in all things to basically become a hard-boiled detective. As if the premise weren't intriguing enough, there's also the fact that the book is written by Warren Ellis, the man who so recently revitalized Moon Knight. This series isn't quite the instant smash hit Moon Knight was, but it shows plenty of potential.
Ellis takes the idea of "seeing the weakness in all things" and emphasizes it in all aspects of Karnak's portrayal. He's written as a man who views attachment, desire and even love as weaknesses to be avoided at all costs. Karnak has essentially become a nihilist whose only goal is to guard the Tower of Wisdom and guide his Inhuman pupils in their journey toward becoming what they're meant to be. This issue lays out the general format of the series, as Karnak is reluctantly called back into the human world to assist with Inhuman-related problems too difficult or politically volatile for S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle.
