“While we appreciate the support…it is nonetheless conditional. As seems to be the case with every human good deed.”
-Mendicus (Inhumans Vol. 2, Issue 5)
“From diversity comes equality”. A simple concept that stands in direct contrast to the term “Separate but equal”, and a concept that governs every facet of life according to the Inhumans. From the very beginning of Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee’s Inhumans, readers are immediately thrust into a genocracy governed by genealogy and phenotypical expression. The home of these strange beings with irresistible power is known as Attilan, an island nation ruled by the ever-silent Black Bolt and his inner cabinet, composed of his family. Together, they preside over their race of Inhumans, an offshoot of Homo sapiens,...

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps sees the return of the compelling villain, in the unfamiliar landscape of the early 2000s
Oliver Stone's sequel to 1987's Wall Street, released on 6 October, sees the return of compelling villain Gordon Gekko, the "greed is good" exponent played by Michael Douglas. In Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Gekko finally emerges from his prison sentence for investment fraud to an unfamiliar landscape: the pre-credit crunch days of the early 2000s.
For Gekko the world will seem an alien place, with tiny mobile phones replacing the brick-like devices of the 80s and technology advancing to the point where investors are in constant touch with the markets and their clients. The bull market of the 1990s took place while Gekko was behind bars, and the era of the pinstrip-clad corporate-raiding asset-stripper, also immortalised on the big screen by Richard Gere in Pretty Woman, finally came to an end.
