After the break, drink in a new episode of your favorite comic book podcast: this one, the one with Tucker, Joe, Matt & Chris. It's right there, and it's all for you!
Rumor control? Here are the facts! 1) Chris read every single issue of Rom, The Space Knight...but nobody asked him too! 2) Tucker read all of the Eternals...but Joe doesn't believe him! 3) This podcast is actually all about what Jack Kirby and Steve Dikto really wanted to do...and more! Get in where you fit in, and if you can't find that place, make that place! Make it your own! We're there, and our arms are outstretched. Podcast!
Ah, this episode is practically made for me. There's a good discussion of The Eternals in Charles Hatfield's Hand of Fire, which focuses on the tension between Kirby's natural storytelling instinct and the Marvel Universe editorial teams fixation on continuity.
One thing to maybe think about with ROM is that it's interesting Mantlo & Ditko were able to work so well together given their polar opposite politics. Mantlo was some sort of Marxist (Steve Gerber called him a communist) and Ditko was ... well, Ditko.
