Paul Ryan & Al Williamson — Eternals, Avengers, Oh My!
Eternals #12, September, 1986
This “sequel” Eternals series couldn’t have gone quite as planned.
Peter Gillis launches as writer, but Walter Simonson takes over mid–stream. Sal Buscema starts us off on pencils, (ands in some case, inks) but the art team shifts a few times too with a variety of Bullpen artists from the era, until we finally get here, the double-sized last issue, with pencils by Paul Ryan and inks (mostly) by Al Williamson, with assists fromSam de la Rosa.
All pretty odd stuff for a limited-series.
That aside, this is dynamic page featuring Eternals and Avengers working together to defeat their common foe. And hey, based on the film trailers alone, it’s obvious the Eternals exist in the greater MCU, so a crossover like this down the road is not the craziest idea you’re going to hear today. (It’s still early, so trust me on this.)
Eternals opens in theaters on Friday. (Well, technically tonight in many locations.)
