This is why Kirby’s creations seemingly contradict previous Marvel stories. Despite being published by Marvel Comics.
Interestingly, Eternals was originally meant to exist outside the Marvel universe. Canceled rather prematurely, it left many plotlines hanging. The first volume of Eternals ran for just nineteen issues, from 1976 to 1978. Eternals shares several elements with Kirby’s DC series New Gods, including its grand mythological scope. And there, he created a new cosmic mythology. But when those books didn’t initially wow readers, he returned to Marvel in 1976. After leaving Marvel Comics in 1970, writer/artist Jack Kirby went to rival DC Comics with his epic Fourth World franchise. Here are the essential Eternals stories you need to read to catch up before their MCU debut.
Meaning you can catch up with most of the saga of the Celestial’s immortal children and their Deviant foes over one weekend of reading. Luckily, the Eternals’ comics history is far more sporadic. Where does one start with characters like the X-Men, the Avengers, or Iron Man? Those characters have been in continuous publication for the better part of fifty years. Creating a reading list for most Marvel characters is exceedingly difficult.
