This issue of ETERNALS was another comic book that came to me in a 3-Bag bought at a Toy Store or a Department Store. There was no other way that I would have picked it up, as Jack Kirby's godly Marvel epic was not to my tastes as a kid. I found it harsh, and … Continue reading BHOC: ETERNALS #17
This was actually a series of posts that I put up during my first days of working on my Marvel blog.

There was always something fascinating and powerful about … Continue reading BHOC: ETERNALS #11

First, he wound up buying copies of more than a few comics that I already owned, so that he would have what I had. Alternately, he … Continue reading BHOC: ETERNALS #9
