'All they want is for me to be a totally functional human being capable of reliably operating at superhuman capacity indefinitely,' Sharp says of her bosses. And while her work relationship is with a black-ops group that employs superhumans, the frustration she faces at work, when stripped of its artifice, is familiar to nearly everyone who has ever held a job. Her inability to 'hold herself together' and maintain her human appearance for long periods of time can be seen as an acknowledgment of how difficult it is to keep up an acceptable public face when you are depressed. Of course, her inhuman concerns are just larger-than-life riffs on what everyone faces. In contrast to so many depressed and lost characters in contemporary fiction, Caroline seems at least on the surface to have a relatively functional support network of well-meaning people who genuinely care for and root for her, even if they cannot entirely relate to her inherently inhuman concerns.

Written by Eisner and GLAAD Media award-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio and illustrated by Eisner Award-winning artist Sonny Liew, Eternity Girl collects the unforgettable six-issue miniseries from the groundbreaking DC's Young Animal imprint.What is arguably the most fascinating thing about Eternity Girl is the way it manages to tackle all of this darkness, complete with some trippy, spooky, and gruesome imagery, without ever devolving into violence porn or dour hopelessness.

Enter the villainous Madame Atom, with the offer of a lifetime: to end her suffering, all Caroline has to do is undertake one final, dimension-spanning mission, with one simple objective-the destruction of the entire universe. Isolated, alienated and profoundly alone, she's determined to break the curse of her immortality-by any means necessary. Now, although she can barely hold herself together, Caroline's unique condition also means that nothing can kill her. Get to know the writing style of Magdalene Visaggio at Socal Games and Comics.
