Key Facts

  • 1st appearance of Luna Maximoff, the daughter of Quicksilver and the Inhuman, Crystal
  • The Inhumans move to the moon
  • In a panel where Black Bolt speaks, causing a massive explosion, there is an editor’s note that reads 'we're not going to insult your intelligence by placing a sound effect in this panel'.
