You are thousands of years old. You have amazing powers. You have watched civilizations rise and fall. So why does no one remember any of this? Bestselling Author Neil Gaiman (Marvel: 1602, Anansi Boys, Sandman) is joined by superstar artist John Romita Jr. (Amazing Spider-Man, Wolverine) to present a tale that will change the Eternals and the Marvel Universe forever!
Too many questions, not enough answers. Good, complex story, though, with good, complex characters. Unfortunately also a lot of head scratchers, and the "tortured superhero" — well, maybe it wasn't a trope in 2008, but it kinda is now.
The art is excellent, though, and the concept is gripping. If this fall's movie draws from this well, it'll be quite interesting.
