ETERNALS (2006) by Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr Review!

December 12, 2020 by Karen Charm 1 Comment

In 2006, Marvel tapped Neil Gaiman (of Sandman and American Gods fame) to resuscitate their long-dormant Eternals line. Gaiman joined heavy-weight penciller John Romita Jr. to create an ambitious, quasi-magical mythology, not unlike American Gods, that tapped into the then-ongoing conversations about intelligent design. Their Eternals miniseries plays off of the property’s own obscurity, priming it to be the definitive introduction for readers of the mid-aughts and beyond. It is gorgeous, cinematic, and so stuffed with fresh ideas that it can lose track of its own plot. Now, with a major motion picture on the way and a new, similarly ambitious relaunch around the corner, let’s take a moment to look back at this now-evergreen, contemporary introduction to… the Eternals.

Should You Read Jack Kirby’s Eternals Before The MCU Movie?

July 23, 2020 by Karen Charm Leave a Comment

The Eternals – written, drawn, and edited by Jack Kirby beginning in 1976 – is visually stunning, a bombastic treat loaded up with the King’s singular creativity. For 20 issues (including one Annual), Kirby and his collaborators – John Verpoorten on inks and letterers Gaspar Saladino, John Costanza, and Irv Watanabe handling the first four issues, Mike Royer taking over both for the rest of the series, and Glynis Wein neé Oliver supplying colors throughout – have assembled a fun, if inconsistent, comic book epic that practically rattles with potential. The new Eternals: Complete Collection is worth a read, though best when taken on its own terms. [Read more…] about Should You Read Jack Kirby’s Eternals Before The MCU Movie?

Marvel’s Eternals Reading Order

July 11, 2018 by Dave 3 Comments

Of all Jack Kirby’s creations, the Eternals sure are one of them. The King of Comics, and co-creator of a nearly incalculable majority of the Marvel Universe as we know it, Kirby attempted to put a light spin on his New Gods with the late 70’s creation of Marvel’s Eternals.
