Just don't care that much about Flint?

All-New Inhumans (2015-) #7 - Jamal Campbell, James Asmus, Stefano Caselli

And it really has a lot of interesting things going for it: the new Inhuman colony is matriarchal, and Flint's new family could be quite conniving.   But the problem with utopias is that there is very little drama, and especially in a comic book, this seems less exciting.   Soule manages to set up a lot of future story here, though, between Flint's sister possibly doing things behind the council's back, and Ana Kravinoff - yup, Kraven the Hunter's daughter - possibly trying to undermine everyone. 

 

The reunion between Flint and his family felt a bit forced, and then there's the fact that Flint isn't my favorite character.  I wanted to get back to Crystal, and even Gorgon and how he was treated by the matriarchs, but just got a whole bunch of Flint. 

 

Still, like I said, Soule's setup here is excellent and at least the cover to #8 looks more exciting.   We'll see, but I wish they'd get back to more of the whole Royal Family thing.  It turns out I like the Inhuman Royal Family the most.
