If you read my previous ETERNALS post then this should be no surprised to you. The Horde is approaching earth, the sleeping Celestial has been awoken, and the Eternals are facing a civil war. ETERNALS: TO SLAY A GOD has all the makings of a great story and it does not disappoint at all. I am delighted that Jack Kirby's ETERNALS have been revived, and is being told in such a great way.
As usual the art work is exactly what I typically go for; however, the "end of chapter" notices as I call them really caught my attention. They reminded me of the classic Spider-Man comics I read as a kid because the brief comments are humorous. Picture watching the 1970's BATMAN tv series and hearing "join us next week, same Bat-Time, same Bat-channel" the seeing the screen whirl out of an into another scene with Batman and the boy wonder in imminent danger. That's how the end of chapter notices come across. You have to love the clever editorial behind this. At least I appreciate it.
What's also interesting about TO SLAY A GOD is the inveitable war amongst the Eternals themselves, the Horde, and the Celestials. The interesting twist that explains why one Celestial was left sleeping on earth is BRILLIANT. Also the watcher who has interveined in earth's affiars 300 plus some odd times seemed out of place in some regard. I couldn't help but wonder what his purpose is in relation to the Celestials, the Fulcrum, and the otehr cosmic beings in the universe. Oddly enough the watcher remided me of the Guardians from The Green Lantern. All we're missing now is a corps of super heroes with power rings!!! This is a must read if you're intrigued buy super heroes grounded in the Marvel universe, but who don't share the typical Marvel super heroe traist. You know, human with some augmented genes, accidental abilities, or power suits.
