Warning: contains a preview of Eternals: Celestia #1
One of the Marvel Universe’s oldest teams, the Eternals are set to take on another ancient team, the Avengers of One Million BC, and Marvel has offered a special preview for Eternals: Celestia #1, on sale in print and digital October 6.
The Eternals were created by the mysterious Celestials millions of years in Earth’s past. They live apart from humanity, but occasionally involve themselves in human matters and some Eternals would even inspire Earth’s myths and legends. In the modern era, the Eternals work more openly, and a few, including the Forgotten One and Sersi, even served as Avengers. Coexisting for a while with the Eternals were the Avengers of One Million BC, created by Jason Aaron and appearing in his Avengers run. The team, led by Odin, consists of the first Black Panther, the first Starbrand, the first Phoenix Force Host, and more. This team has fought off a number of menaces to Earth—including the Celestials, and it was only a matter of time before they crossed paths with the Eternals. And that time has come. Eternals: Celestia #1 is written by Kieron Gillen, with art by Kei Zama, inks by Zama and John Livesay, colors by Matthew Wilson and letters by Clayton Cowles.
The preview opens with Ajax, the sole Eternal who can understand the Celestials, sitting on an empty throne, revealing that the Celestials created the Eternals and then abandoned them. Millions of years prior, Ajax is communing with one, and she tells it she “understands” and that she and the rest are “ready to act.” Ajax then asks a machine how she might find “them.” As if on cue, the machine teleports her to the desert, where she comes face to face with the Avengers of One Million BC—who look ready for a fight.
Given the Eternals have been on Earth since prehistory, it makes perfect sense they would meet the Avengers of One Million BC. As mentioned earlier, this team of Avengers fought and defeated a Celestial—how might Ajax and the rest of the Eternals react to this news? Ajax was clearly seeking the team out—was she instructed to do so by the Celestial? For what purpose? Will they have to fight another Celestial? Or conversely, do the Celestials, and the Eternals, need their help?
The Eternals are riding high as of late, receiving a new, critically acclaimed title as well as a feature film debuting later this year. Now, fans will get to see what happens when two of Marvel’s oldest teams, the Eternals and the Avengers of One Million BC, meet for the first time.
