final issue. a real shame this book got canceled with so many loose threads

#18

its becoming increasingly clear we will not be seeing thena again before this ends

#17

this one was almost there for me. like you can tell kirby is allllmost making a point about gender. but it doesn't work out, leaving this another unfortunately sexist piece of silver age comic history. all too prevalent, but it comes with the times i suppose

#16

...so whatever became of the hulk robot?

Eternals Annual #1

fun one off issue that kept the pace for the full 35 pages, which is more than can be said for some annuals. some much needed characterization for karkas and the reject, who both rule. love them and thena as a trio they are maybe my top characters in this book (we do love sersi though)

#15

this is a fun story and all and it ties into several of the things i find most interesting about this series (in particular, kirby's portrayal of existential fear among unknowable terrors and the tension inherent in the emergence of a race of immortal humanoids) but i just can't get over the fact that the story was SO sidelined for this. we were in the middle of something!

#14

i understand that it's something of a tradition to have new characters fight the hulk but did that have to come at the cost of the uni-mind story going nowhere??

#13

a bit slower and i still don't care much for sprite unfortunately. still the finale was fun and inventive, as has been the MO for this series so far. let's get back to the main event though

#11

the folly of man

#10

i like that thena is standing her philosophical ground! the deviant society is so messed up and so reminiscent of real cultures of oppression (cultures jack kirby would have seen first hand and whose shadow is felt on much of his work) it is gratifying to see the eternals' perspectives as ancient beings who have left behind the barbarism of prejudice. ahead of its time stuff really
