Picked up the first issue the other day even though that I haven't followed Soule's previous title Inhuman very closely, so I'm not as familiar with some of the newer characters or what they can do. Despite all that, I really enjoyed the issue. It has some nice character moments, great action, and never felt like a slog to read through or felt like you had to stop and read a Wikipedia article to know who was who.
Also I would highly recommend Karnak #1. The entire issue is just set up but the character work in the writing and the art was so engrossing that after reading it and thinking about it the majority of the book only took place in a room. Not all of it, but most of it.
Uncanny Inhumans Side note: in the second story drawn by Brandon Peterson there is a production error (at least in my copy), it seems two pages were accidentally flipped so it jumps ahead to another sequence and then back so a character gets thrown into a room and then all of a sudden is back outside like nothing happened (so like if the alphabet went A C B). Just to absolutely make sure that this wasn't some sort of weird story telling device I downloaded my free digital copy to check and lo and behold, the digital copy was in a coherent order (A B C). I haven't seen anyone else really say anything about it, but then again I haven't dug too deep into the subject.

Haven't read Uncanny Inhumans yet.
I am actually waiting to read the new #1s however until Secret Wars resolves. I know it really doesn't matter, but I just want to stick with the Secret Wars intrigue, which I've enjoyed, before I find out what the new stuff is going to be all about. Plenty to read in the interim. Discipline.
