Written by SCOTT GRAY Pencils & Cover by ROGER CRUZ Nightcrawler thought he'd found sanctuary in Attilan, fabled city of the Inhumans...but now he's transgressed their most sacred law! Kurt Wagner stands trial before an angry mob, with Black Bolt the ultimate judge of his fate - and if the verdict is guilty, he's one dead mutant! So will the X-Men stand by and let that happen? Not a chance! Get ready for an explosive battle between the world's greatest mutant team and the Inhuman royal family - the question is, will Attilan survive it?!
This issue is better than the first, and I found myself enjoying the interplay of the X-Men and the Inhumans. Would have liked more exchanges between Black Bolt and Professor X, though maybe that relationship is purposefully downplayed. Cruz' art still seems uncharacteristic for the time period depicted, but his style now is that of a modern artist, so perhaps my criticism is unfair. The Cruz art is fine and the story is improved. Skippable series except for the X-Men completist.
