"DC’s Eternity Girl follows Caroline Sharp, a superspy with superpowers that make her both immortal and so depressed she’s not really living, merely killing time. Creator Magdalene Visaggio has crafted a deeply personal story about a superpowered woman at odds with her body and struggling with her identity and place in the world/universe/eternity. Artist Sonny Liew’s interior pages visualize the abstract vastness of time and space, as well as the tiny, surreal and soul-crushing ways depression can manifest. Visaggio’s razor-sharp writing grounds the book in real but difficult emotion, arch and gentle at times, funny and melancholic at others, with a kind of dark humor that made me laugh and whisper “oh no, too real” at the same time."
