You are thousands of years old. You have amazing powers. You have watched civilizations rise and fall. So why does no one remember any of this? Best-selling author, Neil Gaiman (Marvel: 1602) is joined by superstar artist, John Romita. Jr. (Amazing Spider-Man), to bring you the extraordinary tale of The Eternals. Medical student Mark Curry's world is turned upside-down when he meets Ike Harris, a man who believes that he is part of a centuries-old race of super-powered beings put here on Earth by aliens to preserve and safeguard the planet — and even crazier, tried to convince Mark that he is one too.

AI Analysis
Marvel Knights: Eternals disrupts superhero tropes by focusing on skepticism and the subversion of classical hero archetypes. The involvement of Neil Gaiman suggests a narrative architecture that favors complex, non-linear storytelling over standard power hierarchies. While the film avoids reinforcing traditional social norms, it lacks explicit demographic representation. The focus remains on the intersection of human perception and ancient, superhuman lineages rather than specific identity-driven character arcs. Ultimately, the work functions as an exploration of identity through the lens of the extraordinary and the forgotten, challenging the stability of established historical and social norms.
