Four Eternals Collections From Marvel in Time For the Movie – From Jack Kirby to Neil Gaiman
So Marvel Comics has an Eternals movie coming out this year. And while we haven't seen much sign of this in the monthly offers from MArvel Comics -unless this is where Empyre is heading – we do see signs in the collections, the big books, being planned for the year, taking both Jack Kirby's original work and more recent takes on the concept from the likes of Neil Gaiman. Here's what's coming and when…
Eternals by Jack Kirby: The Complete Collection Paperback – July 7, 2020
Imagine a race of immortal beings possessed with seemingly limitless superhuman abilities. Once worshipped as gods, this fantastic group left Earth to explore the stars after warring with the Greek, Roman and Norse pantheons for supremacy over humankind. They are the Eternals, and they are just one part of a cosmic mythology. Their opposites – the Deviants – also secretly populate Earth, while the towering cosmic entities that created both – the Celestials – are fated to arrive and judge our planet. This is but the beginning of an epic cosmology of gods and men that sprang forth from the limitless imagination of Jack "King" Kirby, the co-creator of Captain America, the X-Men, the Avengers and more. Now, Kirby's ETERNALS epic is collected, complete, in this single volume. COLLECTING: THE ETERNALS (1976) 1-19 & ANNUAL (1977) 1
Eternals by Neil Gaiman & John Romita Jr. Hardcover – July 28, 2020
In 1976, Jack Kirby created the immortal race called the Eternals – an ahead-of-its-time exploration of Kirby's ceaseless curiosity about man's origins and mythology. Decades later, superstar creators Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr. have boldly and lovingly reinvigorated the Eternals, crafting a fresh and crackling yarn full of mystery, suspense and majestic power! Against the backdrop of a superhuman Civil War, the Eternals are awakening one by one from a strange, waking dream – suddenly coming to terms with the fact that they are far more than the normal people they have thought themselves to be. But there is little time to commiserate about such things, because a life-and-death struggle looms – one that will span both time and space! Experience the wonder as the Eternals are re-established as a vital part of the Marvel Universe! COLLECTING: ETERNALS (2006) 1-7
