Hey, does anyone know why the Inhumans were given “uncanny” as a descriptor even though it had already been used for the X-Men?

Uncanny as a descriptor has been used on multiple titles - usually when a mutant has been associated with the team. I think it's safe to say that it's pretty much a marketing ploy (and a complete lack of imagination - or ability to use a Thesaurus).- Uncanny Tales (Atlas-1952) - no mutants per se, just short stories.
- Uncanny X-Men (1963) - I think we all know which mutants were in this one.
- Uncanny Tales (1973) - no mutants per se, reprinted tales from 1952 series.
- Uncanny Origins (1996) - started with mutant origins (Cyclops, Quicksilver, Archangel) but included non-mutants too.
- Uncanny X-Force (2010) - included Wolverine, Fantomex, Psylocke, Archangel & Deadpool.
- Uncanny Avengers (2012) - included Havok, Wolverine & Scarlet Witch.
- Uncanny Inhumans (2015) - included Beast.

I imagine a cold shiver running down Warren's spine, as he looks at the insane bloodlust in his doppelganger's eyes.

When the first issue of THE INHUMANS #1 was published in 1975, text atop the series title proclaimed that they were "THE MOST UNCANNY HEROES OF ALL!" This text remained there for the following eleven issues as well. It seems odd given all of the available adjectives out there that another team of non-mutant Marvel heroes would share the same descriptor. That seems like something current Marvel would do. Marvel Comics was still the House Of (Good) Ideas then.

It's long amused me that FANTASTIC FOUR used the same lettering style in its logo as AMAZING FANTASY.House of (Some) Ideas?

I've never seen Angel's wings used in that way before. Not often that people find new logical approaches to a characters powers that make you wonder why nobody has ever done it before.
The final large panel is a wonderfully dramatic and brutal end to the page after the build-up of the earlier panels.

I love the top three panels both for concept and detail. Is drawing all the feathers on Angel a Zen moment or tedious?
