Marvel has announced it will be launching a new Eternals comic this November with an impressive creative team. Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Uncanny X-Men) will write. Esad Ribic (King Thor, Secret Wars) will provide the art. And Matthew Wilson (The Mighty Thor) will be the colorist. Issue #1 is also receiving a variant cover by BossLogic, which implements an MCU change to one of the group’s members. Marvel revealed the upcoming comic on its official site alongside the following announcement trailer:
Marvel didn’t reveal much in regards to the plot. The Eternals are at constant war with the Deviants, protecting people of Earth in secret. However, Marvel promises the new book will focus on a discovery that will change the Eternals. But it will also change everything we thought we knew about them. Outside of a few Star Wars comics, Kieron Gillen hasn’t written for Marvel in a few years. But he nevertheless expressed his excitement on taking on the team:
Had things gone according to plan, Marvel would have launched Eternals #1 alongside the upcoming MCU movie. Unfortunately, Covid-19 forced Disney to reschedule all of its upcoming releases in April. Eternals will now release on February 12th, 2021.
