“Having done so much work with Thanos and the Eternals’ shared history, the most common recurring question was ‘What about Eros?’” Gillen told ComicBook.com. “I smiled enigmatically, which everyone missed, because no one is in my house, watching my response, except my cats. I really should have thought that through. Anyway: as the world falls into hell, I finally reveal all. The world, more than ever, needs love. Can Eros finally live up to all the hopes he embodies?”
