Set in New York, the Himalayan mountains and the Moon.

The Inhumans are experiencing an infection caused by their vulnerability to human pollution. This exposure was first discovered in Fantastic Four #105, December 1970, when the sickness struck Crystal, as she lived out of Attilan for too long.

Page 17, panel 5: Black Bolt writes his tribute to Maximus in Kree letters because Krees were responsible for the genetic experiments that created the Inhumans, as first narrated in Thor #147, December 1967, in "The Origin Of: The Incomparable Inhumans!".
