The Eternals are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year. Get to know them with some of their greatest comics stories.
Jack Kirby's Eternals are going to get their own movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year! These are far from your traditional superheroes, though. Mixing the biggest of big Kirby ideas with concepts like ancient aliens and traditional mythology, Marvel's Eternals aren't exactly the easiest group of characters to explain in a few words (although we tried our damndest with this history of the Eternals article), so we decided to put together an Eternals reading order to get you familiar with the world of the Celestials, Deviants, and more cosmic Marvel weirdness!
Eternals by Jack Kirby (1976)
Jack Kirby delivered the original electrifying Eternals saga. Other than a Hulk robot (because reasons), there was no mention of the Marvel Universe anywhere in this series.

Ever since the 2008 big-screen debut of "Iron Man," Marvel Studios has been building towards something. Followed by "The Incredible Hulk" in the same year, "Iron Man 2" in 2010, and "Thor" and "Captain America" in 2011, there were seeds carefully being planted, all suggesting an end goal of something bigger. That something is the feature film debut of "The Avengers," the superhero team which unites Marvel’s greatest heroes, in theaters right now. But the roots of the Avengers go a lot further back than 2008, and we’re going to take a look at the Avengers comic books published over nearly 50 years that have lent their influence to the making of the Avengers film.
Warning: If you have not seen the film yet, you may want to hold off on reading this—there are Major Spoilers Ahead.

I was about 14 years old when Ballantine Books started their reprint series of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars. Being a science fiction fan, a character fiction fan, and fan who’s attracted to anything numbered sequentially, I devoured the series. I re-read the first five books about 12 years ago and I enjoyed them, albeit with a nostalgically jaundiced eye.
I was both amazed and, oddly, not surprised (they’re two different emotions) when my father told me he was a John Carter fan. He started reading them around 1928 – by then, the first book was about 16 years old. Sharing this bond was quite comforting: both John Carter, my father, and I were created in Chicago over a 38 year span.
There have been numerous comics adaptations. The first was for the newspapers and for Dell Comics, created by Burroughs’ son John Coleman Burroughs. Gold Key tried a few issues; despite Jesse Marsh’s art,...

How many of you comics fans out there even remember Strikeforce: Morituri? Come on! If you missed it, believe us when we say you missed out! No worries, though; an adaptation is on the way that will no doubt trigger a resurgence in the series' popularity!
According to Variety, Waterman Entertainment has acquired film rights to alien-invasion comic book series Strikeforce: Morituri and plans to start production in December.
The series, created by writer Peter B. Gillis, was published between 1986 and 1989 by Marvel Comics. Gillis and Connor Cochran are writing the script, and Jeff Beard will be a producer on the film.
The story centers on aliens stripping earth of all its resources and a scientist discovering a method of giving humans superhuman powers -- but the process results in the superheroes dying within one year from when they acquire their powers. They fight the invaders with the knowledge that their fates are sealed,...

Peter S. Beagle’s 1968 novel "The Last Unicorn" (which was later adapted into an animated film in 1982) will now be adapted into a six-issue comic book series from Idw Publishing.
The series will kick off in April 2010, and will be adapted from Beagle's novel by writer Peter B. Gillis — who also happens to be the writer behind one of our favorite series around Splash Page HQ, the early-'80s Marvel series "Strikeforce: Morituri" (recently mentioned in our "Scariest Comics We've ever Read" list). Art for the miniseries will be provided by Renae De Liz and her husband Ray Dillon.
The tale of a unicorn's quest to discover why she's the only one of her kind, the animated Rankin/Bass adaptation of "The Last Unicorn" was one of the staple fantasy films for children of the '80s. The film featured the voices of Christopher Lee, Angela Lansbury, Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges,...
