Let's welcome a bigger year for the eternals!
I really enjoyed reading the Eternals on Marvel Unlimited. The cast looks good also for the movie.

Happy New Year to the Eternals and their fans :cool:.
Happy New Year!
Anybody else pumped for #1 this coming week?

Me! Me! I love Gillen's work.

Same here! I'm lowkey dreading Marvel's placement of advertisements in between Ribic's gorgeous art but otherwise I am very excited. Maybe I'll just spring for a collection down the road.

Well what did people think of Eternals #1?
First off, it was absolutely beautiful. Just stunning work by Ribic.
As for the script, I found it a little below the quality of the art but still a strong start. As a primer on what the Eternals are it worked well enough, and the data pages alone made me excited for the future of the book as it is clear Gillen has put a TON of thought into the book, but this issue itself was a bit dry. And unfortunately the big reveal on the last page was well spoiled by now. Not the book's fault but it did hurt the reading experiance.
I'd say it was a solid 8/10. But I'm very excited for what's ahead.

So the excluded are Kronos and Sprite.
Are the others Thanos, Eros, A’Lars and Sui-San? The Uranian/Titan Eternals?
Is the mass Eternal slaughter from the backstory something from a prior comic, or is that new to explain the various gender and/or race flips like Sprite, Sersi and Makkari? (to match the movie?)
So I take it that Zuras and A’lars are “brothers” in the sense that they both got a massive reboot and Kronos took them under his wing?

The mass slaughter is from their last appearance in Jason Aaron’s current Avengers series from 2018/2019.

Ah, explains why I didn't know about it. Giving that series a very wide berth, I am.
Quick question: if Sprite can become a female with no problem, why didn't they just put them into an adult body and avoid them becoming a villain?
[QUOTE=LordUltimus;5314423]Quick question: if Sprite can become a female with no problem, why didn't they just put them into an adult body and avoid them becoming a villain?[/QUOTE]
Presumably because their apparent [U]purpose[/U] is to be the Eternal Child?

Honestly? Probably synergy. Might be something they do later though.
Not to fond of issue 1. Gillens attempt with the machine narrating lacks a proper flow/feeling/rhythm. It’s like a computer doing prose. Empty.
Probably his intention, yet it’s still the impact. Intentional or not.
Didn’t care for Ribics portrayal of Icarus or Sprite. Their faces seemed to change from page to page. Shame that it is this issues two focus characters.
Great backgrounds though.

and in n 2 repost

I think Gillen has implied in past interviews that Uranos is one of the excluded since he has drawn analogies to him being the Morgoth of the Eternals, a character in a somewhat similar position in the Silmarillion/LOTR imprisoned outside of creation.

But what does the say about the population of the Uranus and Titan Eternals if the total number of Eternals is only 100?
What about Thena and Kro’s children?
So ishta( Ishtar) is a eternal thats in gilgamesh faction..
I'm also assuming one of the blacked out names are ereshkigal.
Would that mean humbaba and maybe enkidu were devants

Zuras sits like a bored teenager.

I'm getting the impression that the Eternals of Uranus have been retconned in some fashion.
[QUOTE=king of hybrids;5314433]Presumably because their apparent [U]purpose[/U] is to be the Eternal Child?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, this. Sprite was designed to be a child; they [I]can't[/I] change details like that. No matter how much they want to.

Ereshkigal is a Deviant, not an Eternal.
I thought Sprite may have been gender swapped! Interesting. Shes actually a she as well, not non-binary. That will likely be the reason Makati has been race swapped and gender swapped.
I liked this issue. Not very familiar with these guys but they've done a good job characterizing the ones we did get in this first issue. Unfortunately the stinger at the end was spoiled by solicits, likely a result of COVID-19 delays.
But good stuff, I love art. Even the faces, he doesn't do same face which is something that stands out from even industry vets.
I really liked this issue. Eternals stories always feel like epics to me and the reasoning behind them looking more like the MCU versions wasn't contrived.
