Mark Curry is a medical student living a quiet life in New York until he discovers he is actually Makkari, a member of an immortal race known as the Eternals. Created by the cosmic Celestials, these beings have lived on Earth for millennia but currently exist with suppressed memories and human personas. As various members begin to wake up from this collective amnesia, they encounter the Deviant threat and the manipulative Sprite. The narrative focuses on the conflict between divine biological programming and individual human agency.
This graphic novel serves readers interested in the intersection of traditional mythology and modern superhero science fiction. Fans of the Marvel Universe read it for a grounded reimagining of Jack Kirby’s original concepts that integrates cosmic entities into a contemporary global setting. The reader gains a specific understanding of the internal hierarchy of the Eternals and the mechanical nature of their existence. The story provides a complete technical framework for how these immortal figures operate within the shadow of the Celestials’ judgment.
Outward-looking, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
