An unexpected character returns and Inhumans excels with some much-needed action in Havoc in the Hidden Land.

Because, you know, characters actually used their powers and there was, you know, action.

Not every character, mind you, because Gorgon has come done with a bad case of the deads.

And Marvel still seems to think Sinead OConner Medusa is a thing that people want.

You like that Sinead reference?

Anyway, this weeksInhumanswas indeed the most exciting episode of the freshman series.

Perhaps its because the character of Triton has always been a favorite of mine.

No drug dealers, no pointless dude with floppy hair named Dave, just action.

Triton isnt the only Inhuman that returns this week.

Last week, Gorgon was shockingly killed while battling Mordis.

This week, Karnak uses the research done by Doctor Evan Declan to try and revive Gorgon.

I have to admit, I was drawn in as the series finally has high stakes.

Gorgon has certainly been the most likable character in the series, so his demise hurt.

But as the episodes stinger reveals, Gorgon is back and has gone bestial.

Will this lead Gorgon to his more monstrous comic book form?

Even Crystal has some fun character development this week as she longs to return to Earth.

Maximus also had his moments this week as he grows more obsessed with undergoing terrigenesis.

He reveals himself to be completely self-involved and cares nothing for his people.

Even Auron doesnt buy into what Maximus is selling as his little game starts to crumble.

And then Triton goes all Assassins Creed on his ass.

Did I mention, I really like Triton?

Theres still a lot of crap to deal with.

I mean, you cant hire some makeup artist to get a little Nightbreed up in here?

And the bald Medusa thing is just inexcusable.

So congratulationsInhumans, there might just be something here to get behind.

In the bygone days of 1975, Medusa was actually a full-fledged member of the Fantastic Four.

Sue Richards was on leave from the team and choose Medusa as her replacement.

If youve never seen Xemnu, he looks like a sentient hairball but he has vast mental powers.

I really dig how the TV series has taken titles from classic Inhuman comic appearances.

Hey listen, the Inhumans barley use their powers so there has to be some tribute to the comics.
