Eternals #12 - "Hail Thanos, Finale"

[laughing_tree]

"Eternal" doesn't mean immortal. "Eternal" means unchanging. That's a different thing. Gaiman and Romita Jr. very much brought this aspect out, and we're pushing it even further. There can be something comforting about the Eternals, but there's also something fundamentally disturbing to it. The old superhero cliché of "The Never-ending battle against crime" is one of those lines which, if you take it out of context for a second and think about it, seems absolutely Sisyphean in its hopelessness. Yet, to lift a line from Camus, we must imagine Sisyphus happy – the Eternals have been doing this for so long, they must be accepting of it? Right? -- Kieron Gillen

Of COURSE the one thing that could defeat Thanos is a bratty family member pulling a prank on him.
