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! Collects Eternals #1-7. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Setup, but it's Neil Gaiman doing another comic series-- how can you go wrong?Neil Gaiman, Eternals (Marvel, 2007) Neil Gaiman working on a superhero comic? I signed up for this one as soon as I heard about it, and it didn't disappoint. Not much, anyway. (My disappointment will vanish entirely as soon as there is a volume 2.) Eternals is basically set-up for a larger, as yet unrealized, series; we get to meet the characters, all of whom we already know in other flavors through the Marvel universe, and then we get the scene set for us.

The quality of the art together with a well written story generate a book you do not want to put down in the middle. I really wished it wouldn't end so soon. Rating: - Well-executed, but not Gaiman's best work.This reads like the first three or four chapters of a really good Neil Gaiman series. The problem is, that's all. He does a magnificent job of setting up the characters, starting their stories, and precipitating them into conflict, but then the energy trails off, and the resolution is stamped far more with "ok, time to close this off and work on other projects" than it is "I have thought of a masterful reworking of this concept." All in all, it's not bad, but it's more a revitalization of ... Read More Rating: - DisappointingJust expected more from this. After Gaiman's duties on the spectacular 1602, I really expected something as good w/this reworking. Doesn't meet expectations for a Gaiman project and there was a lot of hype around this. It's ok, but is lacking; the story is pretty juvenile and is just a set up for future books.
