![]() ![]() Sadly, I don’t have nearly enough money to buy the John Romita Jr alternate covers each month, so I’m stuck looking at a cover painting where Makkari looks like a merging of Spider-Man and Toucan Sam, and Thena, the legendary blonde bombshell, most beautiful of Eternals, looks like nothing so much as Ralph Malph with a rake on her head. Worst of all, as the series progresses, they’ve gotten more abstract and garish, while the art inside gets sleeker and more majestic. ![]() They’re interesting, in their own strange esoteric way, but if you were judging a book by it’s cover, you’d have little to no idea what’s going on inside of this one. ![]() Well, I’ll say one thing right off… The covers are not doing this product ANY justice. When I covered issue four of this series, sometime back in the late Pleistocene era, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the art, the mysteries of the plot, and the overall cosmic scope of what was going on… Now that the end is near, how has the series fared? He’s the nicest 500 pound gorilla in comics. Indeed, until this issue, each month’s Eternals bore the legend “(issue #) of 6.” Simple answer: Neil Gaiman asked for more pages to finish out his story, and, with millions upon millions of Sandman trades in circulation, you don’t say no to Neil Gaiman. ![]() In my other job, I have been fielding a lot of questions about why the series was solicited as 6 issues, but the story hasn’t ended here. ![]()
