>What is this storytime series all about?
Everyday for the month of June 2016 (the rare 616 Month), commemorating the 55th anniversary of Marvel Comics, I storytime certain old Earth-616 Marvel Comics issues on their anniversary/if there's pottery when their respective release dates and volume & issue numbers align. Watch out for the appearances of the numbers 6, 1, and 6, in that order.
>For what purpose?
Milestone celebrations of Earth-616, Universe-7 (the mainstream Marvel Universe before the 2015 event "Secret Wars").
>Where do I find previous storytimes in this series?

The tenth anniversary of the debut issue of Neil Gaiman's The Eternals!

>>83950390
Just a one-off storytime month.

The Eternals and the Deviants have been MIA in Marvel for quite some time, they just don't know what to do with them.

The Eternals as guys pretending to be Gods never worked in a Universe whre those Gods are real

Funny how he's pointing out all the plot holes Jack Kirby never thought about
TOMORROW: A Twin×Pack Storytime!

Who's the cover artist?

Wasn't Hickman supposed to work on Eternals post Secret Wars?
>>83950975
He said he wanted to, maybe he will in the new Marvel Now.

This is SO scientology it hurts

Earth X had my favorite explanation for it but some people got butthurt about it reinforcing the notion that the "real" gods=aliens. Never bothered me though cause the REAL gods of the Marvel universe are the shit like the Celestials and Abstracts.
Anyway I think there's a reason for it in the old stuff too but I can't remember.
I think I bought the trade of this at a flea market ages ago. It was great!
>>83950381
Fuckin' Love this run.
>>83950635
It does, considering that the "real" Gods needed inspiration to be thought into being.
And Eternals have canonically been around for millennia longer than most-all of the myths. Ikaris guided Noah's Ark to land, mang.
>>83950463
They were in both All-New Invaders and New Warriors.

Why do people not like JRJR again?
His style's so grandiose and energetic.
He's the closest we have to modern Kirby.
