Like many of the best comics in history, Seven to Eternity (Image Comics) is able to not only serve as necessary escapism to invested readers, the fantasy pages inside provide a reflective mirror to our turbulent times. This is why we have 10 reasons why you should definitely be reading the 2016 sci-fi/fantasy comic book from the creative minds of Rick Remender (Deadly Class),  Jerome Opeña (Uncanny X-Force), and Matt Hollingsworth (Wytches). Because the superb writing and cinematic artwork had been successful in resonating deeply with previous readers, here's hoping our list of reasons will now bring in eager newcomers to Image's cult fantasy comic book.

The very first issue in the Seven to Eternity series introduces a fantastical world drained of its luminous spirit, thanks to The God of Whispers. Having devious and sleeping spies working on his behalf, the God of Whispers has spread his ever-present paranoia to every hidden corner of the Kingdom of Zhal. With just about every hall spreading mistrust and fear among its residents, Adam Osidis has become useless as a dying knight, with his reputation degraded by its disgraced namesake. In order to defeat the evil god, a desperate group of magic users needs to recruit Adam for their rebellion. But will they give in to Adam's desires and demands before their fight against the God of Whispers can even begin?

10 10. The Writing

Politics and social issues have always been part of the narrative, especially within the X-Men comics. In the X-Men series, mutants have been ostracized, feared, and hated because of the color of their skin.

Even though Seven to Eternity made its debut in 2016, the language behind the God of Whispers, aka The Mud King, is a perfect stand-in for the 45th president's harsh campaign vernacular, especially towards immigrants. Writer Rick Remender has created an antagonist, the God of Whispers, who uses a hostile narrative of fear, hate, and paranoia in order to ascend to higher ranks of power.

9 9. A Relatable Character

Just as many rebels have refused to follow under a tyrannical ruler, the stoic protagonist, Adam Osidis, refuses to bow down in front of the oppressive Mud King and obey to his dictatorial order. How many times have you wanted to do something, get involved a situation that was clearly in the wrong, but others didn't exactly see it that way?

Representing free thought and free speech, Adam intends on putting an end to the Mud King's iron-fisted rule. In doing so, Adam hopes to clear his family name and regain his own self-worth.

8 8. The Epic Artwork

Just like the very best sci-fi comics have the most gorgeous visuals, artist Jerome Opeña illustrates the narrative's magic and adventure in an eye-popping epic scale. Opeña's sprawling artwork introduces audiences right away to its imaginative magical realism. In the opening pages, Adam is teaching his young daughter, Katie, how to hunt in the woods.

All of sudden, they find themselves encountering a giant-sized boar, infected with intergalactic rabies, and foaming black magic from its mouth. There is such a creative speak within the stunning visuals that not even a novice reader can truly look away.

7 7. The World Building

Just as the Star Wars comics and books travel from one distant planet to another,  the second volume of Seven to Eternity explores a bigger world outside the kingdom of Zhal. In the next story arc, Adam Osidis and the Mosak have to travel beyond the blasted lands of Zhal. Once they make it past Zhal, Adam will be able to hand-deliver the prisoner, the Mud King, to his most-hated enemies.

High up in the scorching mountains, close to the edge of the cliffs, there are flying dinosaurs, similar to pterodactyls, soaring under the blistering sky.

6 6. The Western Look

Certain artists are able to give their comics such a distinctive and appealing look. Just as he gave the Wytches horror comic a cringe-inducing flair, Matt Hollingsworth provides his own distinguishing color palette to the stunning pages. With Hollingsworth setting up the grounded tones, Adam's character design has a western frontiersman vibe.

With his rugged looks, his brownish bread, and worn-out clothing, Adam's appearance resembles a gunslinger straight out of a western flick. Even with the technological advancements on his weapon, Adam's shotgun has a faded urban cowboy texture.

5 5. Katie Osidis

Sometimes, the fiercest female fighters in comics don't happen automatically; they need time to become their destiny. As Remender's storytelling evolves across the first volume, readers will get to know the characters a little bit more, especially Adam's daughter. We understand what drives Katie as she picks up her bow and magical arrow.

Starting off as an untrained rookie, Katie slowly becomes better as a hunter because she wants to prove to herself and to her father that she can be part of the rebellion. Redeeming her tarnished family name is just as important to her, as the ultimate goal is to Adam.

4 4. Father/Daughter Dynamic

Some of the best stories in comics have always been a family affair, especially when the plot's theme focuses on the father/daughter dynamic. Because of their close relationship, Katie and Adam Osidis are able to work together on their current mission, even though they disagree with each other's ideologies.

Because Katie has lived a sheltered and isolated life, her eyes slowly start to open about what life is really like outside of their remote home. Katie starts to think for herself, even while protecting her father from the foreboding danger around them.

3 3. The Imagination

Artists have certainly changed readers' perception of the comic because of their imaginative take within the pages. For such a dystopian future where humanity has succumbed to fear, Seven to Eternity does not look like a somber and bleak-looking comic. With the pages full of rainbow hues, Katie stands out from the other side characters because of her bright red hair.

The magical tip of her arrow starts glowing, just like her radiating eyes, when Katie is about to fire an arrow.  The stunning visuals are richly detailed, especially when the exotic backgrounds come into the forefront.

2 2. Deadly Class!

If you are an absolute fan who truly treasured the highly praised first season of Deadly Class, then your next favorite of Rick Remender's vast works will be Seven to Eternity. Deadly Class mixed and mashed elements from teen high school dramas and '80s action movies.

Because Seven to Eternity delves into mysticism and dark fantasy, there are influences from J.R.R. Tolkien and George R. R. Martin, along with elements from western shoot-em-up movies. Ultimately, this is a story about rebellion and kicks off with a ragtag team of underdogs refusing to obey a conniving dictator.

1 1. The Best Image Title

Image Comics continues to knock it out of the park, especially with its popular titles, like Spawn, The Walking Dead, and Saga. Adding Seven to Eternity to the already long list, this Image title manages to creatively invoke real-world themes and issues, such as of idealism and social change.

Writer Rick Remender, artists Jerome Opeña and Matt Hollingsworth, have built a brilliant world of fantasy and action with interesting three-dimensional characters. New readers will have no trouble at all diving into the Seven to Eternity series and falling in love with the world of Zhal.
