(Starting with Black Bolt's first appearance in print?) Granted, Black Bolt is unable to literally say "No!" to that sort of move--but surely he's developed a gesture to that effect that, as absolute ruler, his guards and militia will heed without question.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-63895672883773537792022-08-07T07:50:49.403-04:002022-08-07T07:50:49.403-04:00"The fact that this is society of people who ..."The fact that this is society of people who have their own protocols and laws doesn't necessarity imply impunity"<br /><br />Well, by definition absolute monarchs are above the law, Comicsfan.<br />Now its possible Inhuman society could have a form of constitutional monarchy in which Black Bolt has wide ranging authority but with some political mechanisms to hold him to account... but I don't recall that from any stories I've ever read, and by the sound of it thats not something covered in this series either.<br /><br />Anyway, as someone pretty much out of the loop on twenty-first century Marvel comics I mainly wanted to let you know that I appreciate these posts filling in the blanks for me. Thanks.<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
