Used Book in Good Condition
Yes. Attilan is a kingdom. Black Bolt is their king. His whisper can level cities and a scream can destroy a planet. He has a royal family: Medusa, Black Bolt's queen, who can control her almost indestructible hair. Crystal, Medusa's sister, who can control the four elements. Black Bolt's cousins Gorgon, Triton, and Karnak who each have their own unique powers. And Lockjaw, the giant bulldog who teleports and can teleport other objects or beings.
There is also Black Bolt's brother, Maximus the Mad, who is completely insane and wants to rule Attilan. Attilan has many dark secrets. They created a slave-race called Alpha Primitives to be their labor-force and many of the time, the Terrigen mists will ruin a person. The rest of the world treats the Inhumans much like they treat the X-Men. Humans are scared and don't understand the Inhumans and have attacked in certain stories. Much of the time, Maximus uses this to his advantage. Onto to mists.
When an Inhuman is growing up, they are just like any normal non-powered being. When an Inhuman comes of age (I think it's around 18), they go into these chambers that release a substance called "the Terrigen Mist", which takes the genetic code that makes you unique and mutates it so you become superhuman. Some people are luckier than others. Some get the ability to fly and others if you look at their faces you go blind.
There's really so much to these characters and it's hard to explain it all. A great start is the 1998 Jenkins/Lee run on the characters.
TLDR: George RR Martin would be proud
EDIT - Added a link to the book.

Inhumans by Paul Jenkins (1998-1999)
That is all you need to read.
And then when you watch the show, you will probably be disappointed.
Inhumans Volume 2 is amazing. Definitely worth the purchase.
I would recommend reading these, in this order:

Well the best Inhuman story (imo) is the one by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee.
Titled simply "Inhumans" it introduces you to the main cast and is a fantastic book of it's own.
And it's just been re-released too.
It's fairly standard practice for comic book releases to be collected in paberbacks and hardcovers. The book in question is available in a single volume as well.

It's the first result you get in Amazon searching for "Inhumans."
Jae Lee only drew it. Paul Jenkins wrote it. You should probably look on Amazon because it's definitely available there.

Do you just prefer physical copies to digital? For $10 you can subscribe to one month of Marvel Digital Unlimited and tear through all these, and then cancel your sub.
The most recommended Black Panther series for example is by Christopher Priest, and on Amazon you're looking at about $30 for the first TPB since it's out of print. I haven't even seen the other trades and there are 60 issues in the run.
The recommended Inhumans is by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, and it's going to set you back at least $18-$30 to read it.
All of these are collected in Marvel Digital Unlimited, which is my primary tool for reading Marvel backlogs. I prefer my tablet screen but it's fine on a PC and I've even used my phone in a pinch.
Those would all be good places to start. As for Ant-Man it looks like there will be some significant differences between comic and movie Ant Man, so I can't think of a good reccomendation there.
If you want to know more about the Inhumans, check the http://www.amazon.com/Inhumans-Paul-Jenkins-Jae-Lee/dp/0785184740 By Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee.
Inhumans by Paul Jenkins. It's a terrific introduction read. Everyone here pointed me to it, so I bought it and just recently finished it. It's really interesting and I recommend it.
After that, I know that Inhumans are a big part of the War of Kings arc. You might want to look into it afterward. I'm going to be reading into it myself soon, but I want to read the whole arc and not just the title trade of War of Kings.
The only one I've read so far. Harder stuff to come by.

This is probably the best place to start.
If you liked the style but didn't think it fit with Batman/Superman, check out his work on Inhumans. There's an Oversized Hardcover (sewn binding, probably) coming with all 12 issues in the fall.
Here's the page for the collected editions on amazon, if that's an option. $20 for the hardcover is not bad, although I have no idea why the paperback is so expensive. Must be out of print.
Yeah, their world has gotten a big update these days. If you want to get into their world in preparation for the movie, the most often recommended Inhumans story is Inhumans by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, which you can buy in graphic novel form. It's a nice confined tale that takes place within their home that deals with all the politics and complexities in within it (at least to the extent you can do in one story.)
I haven't read it, but I've seen Inhumans by Paul Jenkins & Jae Lee suggested as a good intro for people following the MCU.
I've heard the 12-issue miniseries is pretty darn good. Other than that you could read the new ongoing, Inhuman. It's on #7 right now and that trade collects 1-6.
All you need to know to read the new book is that new Inhumans are popping up since the effects of Infinity released a giant Terrigen bomb. The new book is about those new Inhumans.
