Update: Marvel has revised the name of the upcoming Eternal⛎s💧: The Undying one-shot, renaming it . 

The publisher hasﷺn't specified the reason behind the change, however the original subtitle 'The Undying' is part of the name of the book's central characte🍌r, Uranos the Undying.

Along with that, the now-renamed Eternals: The Heretic has been pushed back one 𓄧month to a March 16 rel🅠ease date.

Original story follows...

In the lead-up and aftermath of the release of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios' Eternals, Marvel Comics and writer Kieron Gillen have been releasing a series of Eternals specials alongside the ongoing series Gillen writes with artist Esad Ribić. 

The newest one-shot will go on sale in February 2022 and is Eternals: The Undying, with art by Ryan Bodenheim and a cover by An𒁃drea Sorrentino. 

The💝 one-shot delves deeper into Thanos' upcoming new role as leader of the Eternals. 

Yes, you read that right. If you're more of an MCU fan or a Marvel Comics reader not𓃲 reading the Eternals at the moment, Thanos (a Deviant in the Marvel comic book universe) will soon become the leader of the Eternals. 

Eternals: The Undying focuse🐓s on Uranos, the Undying, described as Thanos' "Omnigenocidal Great Uncle," even "more horrific" than him, and the worst leader the Eternals has ever seen. 

The official sy𒉰nopsis describes Thanos as evil but describes Uranos as the "original evil" from whom all Eternals descend. 

Reme꧟mber, the Eternals comic book origins differ somewhat from their big-scr꧒een counterparts. 

"For a second, try and have sympathy with Thanos." Gillen wrying says in a statement about the special. "He was born on Titan, to a family which he loathes and has nothing in common with. In our run, he arrives on Earth, and meets the res✅t of his extended family... and discovers that it's the same thing, all over again."

"How depressing for Thanos," the statement continues. "And then he discovers... Uranos the Undying, Omnigenocidal Great Uncle, the rotting monstrous tree which Thanos' apple barely fell from, proof that perhaps this capacity of horror does skip a generation. So it's a happy ending for Thanos, really. Unhappy for everyone else, admittedly, but you can't have everything. This is a story about some of the darkest periods in the Eternals saga,⛦ as two of the worst people in the Marvel Universe get to know each other. Less Meet Cute, more Meet Execute."

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communic🏅ations manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
