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'. This is said to be a reference to an argument Byrne had with X-Men writer Chris Claremont, concerning the inclusion of a text representation of an explosion in X-Men #119 that Byrne felt was unnecessary
