Eternals Forever #1 will feature the next heroes of the MCU battling against one of their own after Ikaris is mind-controlled into assassinating Ajak.
Marvel’s special one-shot Eternals Forever #1, will pit the stars of the MCU’s upcoming film Eternals against one another. Publishing only three weeks before the film’s release on November 5th, the issue will introduce new readers, and remind veteran ones, of the millennia-long struggle between the Eternals and their enemies the Deviants.
The Eternals are the brainchild of legendary comic book creator Jack Kirby and first debuted in 1976. Drawing inspiration from mythology, the series introduced readers to heroes based on mythological figures like Ikaris and Sersi. In the comics, the Eternals are a race of super-humans created at the dawn of time by the cosmic beings the Celestials, alongside the grotesque Deviants. The Deviants desired to rule over the human race while the Eternals sought to guide and protect them in their development. The two races have spent millennia warring over control of the planet, with their struggle and the personalities of the Eternals being absorbed into human mythology. The Eternals and Deviants are currently set to make their MCU debut this November in Eternals from Academy Award-winning director Chloe Zhao, and Marvel Comics is marking the film’s release with a new one-shot story.
