Inhumans vs. X-Men may be yet another in a long line of Marvel events predicated on heroes fighting heroes, but it's had two things working in its favor these past few months. One is that, while some of the tie-ins have added more depth and context to the conflict, the core mini-series has done a fine job of telling a complete and cohesive story. The other is that writers Charles Soule and Jeff Lemire have taken great pains to justify this war and paint both sides as legitimately aggrieved parties. Sadly, that latter strength drains away in the final chapter, leaving a bitter taste at the end of what had been a perfectly decent meal.
The good news is that Leinil Yu returns to the series just in time to render the final, epic showdown between two teams. There's no end to the hero vs. hero chaos in this issue. Pretty much everyone who's anyone on either team turns out to unleash their powers on the battlefield. Yu isn't necessarily at his strongest here, as there's a looser, scratchier quality to his line-work compared to issues #1 and #2. Still, he gives the story a grand sense of scope and a harsh, gritty texture that reflects the mounting dread and despair building in Soule and Lemire's script. Colorist David Curiel maintains a nice sense of balance in his work, maintaining the gritty vibe of Yu's work but also offering a colorful, lively depiction of the many powers being unleashed in the battle.
