The Eternals have returnaled in Eternals 50th Anniversary #1, an oversized anthology that includes a story by Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump. Why? Who is to say?
Actually, Stump is to say. “It’s fitting that Marvel’s version of God, its One-Above-All, was drawn in the likeness of Jack Kirby,” Stump said via press release. “Through his cosmic work on titles like Tales of Suspense, Fantastic Four, Thor, and climaxing with his mythologically inspired space opera The Eternals, he created the center of gravity all of Marvel’s galaxy is still orbiting. So when I was tasked with the responsibility of introducing a Lost Eternal, I turned to the same sci-fi and mythology that got his mighty imagination spinning to begin with. I’m beyond honored to be part of celebrating 50 years of the Eternals, and while I can’t imagine some rock singer like me doing a titan like Kirby justice, I can promise you this has definitely been as much of a passion project as any album I’ve ever made or film I’ve scored.”
In addition to Stump, there were also be several contributors who are not in Fall Out Boy including Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, Dale Eaglesham and Phil Noto, Ralph Macchio and Michael Cho, and also “more” which is presumably a TBA for whoever is drawing Stump’s story. Maybe someone else in Fall Out Boy?
“Jack Kirby was a big influence of mine, and I devoured just about everything he did when I first discovered comics,” Editor Mark Paniccia added. “The Eternals was one of my favorite Kirby creations…wild, dynamic, powerful stuff that fueled my imagination as a young reader. It’s a real privilege to work on this project with such a talented crew.”
