House of M andSon of M , detailing the war between theInhumans and rest of humanity after the mutant Quicksilver stole theTerrigen Mists from Attilan.Plot
In the opening stages of the war
Black Bolt ordered a strike on America led by Gorgon. Although the initial mission was only to order the return of the terrigen crystals, Jolen, a young member of the inhumans who has plant like powers, kills innocents in a concert hall. The inhuman task force attempts to flee the scene but are stopped and defeated in battle by theFantastic Four . Gorgon surrenders taking blame for the unnecessary casualties and is turned to O.N.E. While captured, Gorgon is exposed again to the terrigen mists by an American scientist. The second transformation is more disastrous, turning Gorgon into a feral beast. Black Bolt leads a contingent of Inhumans to rescue the mutated Gorgon, attacking the Pentagon and reclaiming the crystals.S.H.I.E.L.D. responds to Black Bolt's attack by sending marines who have been exposed to the mists to assault the Inhuman capital on the moon,Attilan . These marines are empowered with abilities on par with the Inhumans, but are also cellularly unstable (dying).In the last issue of Silent War, the marines show up at Attilan and are beaten, a feint to allow one marine to explode within the confines of the city, destroying the lunar Attilan. Black Bolt's mad brother Maximus infects the inhuman people, taking Medusa as his queen. Luna, responsible for freeing Maximus from his psychic prison, goes to Black Bolt asking him what to do. Black Bolt opens his mouth to answer. The final page of the issue is completely black.
