(W) Kieron Gillen (A/CA) Esad Ribic

NEVER DIE. NEVER WIN. ETERNALS.

What's the point of an eternal battle?

For millions of years, one hundred Eternals have roamed the Earth, secret protectors of humanity. Without them, we'd be smears between the teeth of the demon-like Deviants. Their war has waged for all time, echoing in our myths and nightmares.

But today, Eternals face something new: change. Can they - or anyone on Earth - survive their discovery?

From the thought provoking minds of Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Uncanny X-Men, Thor) and Esad Ribi? (Secret Wars, King Thor) comes a new vision of the classic Marvel mythology!

WE FOUND A MONSTER TP
DC COMICS
JUL208392
(W/A/CA) Kirk Scroggs

Kirk Scroggs, writer and artist of The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid, introduces a new type of best friend!

Casey has always loved monster movies; in fact, he considers himself something of an expert on the subject. He spends his day doing normal kid things, like attending school and riding his bike around his town of Serena Mar - and filling his journal with helpful ways to take care of the various monsters who live all around them, who no one else seems to know exist. But as Casey delves deeper into the history of his spooky friends - or are they fiends? - he uncovers more than just skeletons in the closet.

Turns out there’s a Frankenstein and maybe a werewolf tucked in there, too! And he’s just starting to wonder if it’s possible that his new friend, Zandra, has a secret of her own, as well...

We Found a Monster is a fun, funny, and fast-paced tale about learning what true friendship is, and respecting the secrets we all have inside.
