Meatloaf once said that: ‘Two out of three ain’t bad,’ but three out of four is even better.

In Eternity #3 (of4) Matt Kindt takes the reader on a cosmic odyssey that sees the fate of the entire universe hanging in the balance. Two Russian cosmonauts, Abram Adam, aka Divinity, and his lover, Myshka were granted God-like powers on a space mission and now their child had been stolen by strange alien being and taken to the ends of the unknown because he is thought to be the Observer and the only being who can keep the universe from unravelling.

So, in Eternity #3 (of4) like any concerned parents, Abram and Myshka have travelled to the ends of the universe to get him back. But if they do, what will happen to the universe? All of which begs the question: ‘What would you sacrifice to keep your child safe?’

Abram and Myshka’s zen-like captor in Eternity #3 (of4) poses just that question and creates a rift between the two lovers that may have dire consequences, not just for their family but for everyone and everything.

No-one writes cosmic quandaries quite like Matt Kindt and Trevor Hairsine’s artwork for Eternity #3 (of4) is beautifully kinetic and smoothly assured. Souls must be searched and drastic action taken as we gear up for the final instalment of this perfect piece of high concept sci-fi storytelling which places real human emotions and concerns at the heart of a galaxy spanning quest.

Eat your heart out George Lucas!
