The Eternals #3 (Sep.1976)

Dear Mr. Kirby,

I just read The Eternals #3 and I have to say you certainly have me interested here. The main character Ikaris is neat and all but the Deviants are really what I want to read more about. I want to see if their plan to act as the Devil will work on the humans to get them to fight the celestial—the space god.

But, back to Ikaris. There is some stuff I don't understand about him. He changes from his t-shirt and jeans into something more simple. But that more simple outfit is a blue full body unitard, with a chest harness, kilt, red knee high boots, and red gauntlets. Maybe it's just me but that doesn't seem more simple.

Then there is another thing about him. So he just rescued this girl from a 50 imprisonment. A rescue that means she will never see her father ever again. Of course, she is distraught and upset. So how does he react to this? He jumps out of the plane that he is flying with his mind and shows off his ability to fly—almost giving the girl a panic attack in the process. I don't get what he was thinking. Was it "I know how I can help her. I'll give her a panic attack. That will get her mind off loosing her dad." Or was it "This girl is bringing me down with all her bad vibes. I need some head space. I'm jumping out of this plane." Either option it is pretty clear that Ikaris, an eternal, is not human.

Even with Ikaris's weirdness I am looking forward to reading more and finding out what happens.

Thanks,
