TTF44 - Marvel's Eternals: Why Context Matters in Storytelling
Marvel's Eternals has an incredible cast of beautiful people, interesting characters and a plot that... err... well... is trying to do a lot of things. Did departing from the Marvel Formula result in a 'too much, too soon' approach? Terry dives deep into what makes for a good build of scale in...

Murder; intergalactic super spies; space station crime syndicates; military coups; an apocalyptic global pandemic and a sweet little old lady you DON'T want to cross - John Appel's debut sci-fi novel has it all. Can the book juggle all these elements and more, or is it just too much to keep in…
