Marvel Proclaims ‘New Era of Marvel Mythology’ With Next ETERNALS Series
August 19, 2020Making his triumphant return to Marvel, Kieron Gillen is teaming with artist Esad Ribić to tackle a new spin on the publisher’s mythology in, Eternals.
The series will reimagine the classic from the legendary Jack Kirby and offer a new and presumably modern spin in retelling the stories of these heroes and villains, who are all seemingly cursed with gifts.
“I said if I was ever to do a book again at Marvel, it would have to be something I’ve never done before. This is exactly that. This is me teaming up with literally my favorite artist of the epic, taking one of those lightning-storm Kirby visions and re-making it to be as new as the day it was forged,” Gillen said. “While Esad makes whole worlds on the page, I’m applying all the skills I’ve developed when I was away. It’s a lot. It’s everything. There’s enough scale packed in here that I believe that when you look at the comic, you’ll see the pages slightly bulge. Essentially Eternals has to mean ‘never going out of style,’ which means we’re aiming for ‘instant classic.’ Also — fight scenes, horror, human drama, emotions, explosions. Comics!”
Eternals #1 is currently set to debut on shelves in November of 2020, while The Eternals will launch in theaters, nationwide, on Feb. 12, 2021.
