Nah, I don't bother with anything less than $50.

DBM said:That struck me as little odd as well. I think I have all of Makkari's appearances and I haven't read anything like that before. His thing has always been running and speed.
Then again, he's thousands of years old, and we only know about a few years worth of his life, so I guess there is the possibility he was a healer in the past.

Back on topic.

I wonder how they pulled that off and I hope they give an explanation.The Question said:I'm guessing that The Eternals' powers have been stripped along with their memories, and Ikaris' are only slowly returning with his memories.
yeah know, I don't like variant or special covers either, but if I ever do get a chance to write comics I think I might just have to do exactly that, Trop. And I think I won't even do it on an issue where anything special happens either, just a totally random issue that's not any more unique then the one before or after it... except it's got a die-cut foil cover with a hologram on it.Tropico said:The road to Hell isn't really paved with good intentions. It's paved first with variant covers, then foil covers, then die cut covers and finally with hologram covers. If you see a die cut, foil hologram cover which is a variant of an existing cover then you're fragged!
Hahaha, that was delightfully random.DBM said:Both of you need to calm down before I punch you in the face with an airplane.
You're so mean to me, Trop. After all we've meant to each other...Tropico said:OMG! Considering how advanced the the Eternals are and Athena (Thena's "other") is the goddess of tactical war....can't you see the link? Her human persona develops weapons? You can see a connection with Sersi and not Thena?! Not even a chorus of 1 million valley girls saying "Oh-my-GAHD!" are enough to illustrate what you deserve!

Tropico said:I don't get the impression that it's a retcon. It kinda looked like the Deviants did something to them. Or if it wasn't the Deviants then it's a good chance it was themselves to hide out for some reason.
TheCorpulent1 said:I was a bit disappointed with the first issue, but that may have just been because I built it up too much in my mind. The whole scenario with god-heroes forgetting their identities and starting mortal lives has been done about 3 or 4 times in Thor's comic alone. But, while the underlying plot is a bit disappointing, the story itself, along with the art, pacing, and everything else, was very entertaining. A reviewer at Newsarama (I think) said this was the best work of John Romita Jr.'s career, and I have to agree. The inker and colorist's work looks great as well. Gaiman's not usually the type to lay all his cards on the table right away anyway, so there's probably a lot more to the plot, too. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
As for Sersi, I thought the ditzy party girl thing worked wonderfully. Sersi's always been a party girl. She threw enormous galas at least twice that I remember while she was an Avenger. If she had to become a mortal, becoming a ditzy party planner who mooches off her friend because literally all she cares about is parties makes lots of sense. I'm actually more confused about why Makkari became a med student. Was he a healer among the Eternals before or something?
