Imagine a race of immortal beings possessed of 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 the 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.

The world is not what you think it is: humans have been engineered by the Gods, known as the Celestials, and are guarded by powerful god-like humanoids called the Eternals. These Eternals fight against the Deviants, mutants that live below the earth and ocean in the remains of old Lemuria. The old battles are fought again, will the Earth survive?
Marvel finally reissued the Eternals stories by Jack Kirby, in time for the Eternals film released in 2021.
The film is based on Eternals by Neil Gaiman, who in turn based them on the Jack Kirby’s stories.
This reissue collects all the story arcs written and drawn by Kirby. All the stories have been recolored, and I must say that it stays true to the original exuberant, dramatic coloring. Loaded with explosive splash pages.
