Overall I didn’t get excited about this story. It wasn’t until the end that I started to understand what was going on but by that point the story feels like it abruptly ends. That left me sort of confused through the first two issues as I tried to piece together who was who and what their relationships were. I should start by saying that I’ve never read the original Jack Kirby run of the Eternals, nor did I know anything about these characters besides the fact that some people in the Marvel universe are labeled as being “Eternals” in origin (I’m looking at you Sersi). I’ve recently made a vow to read anything that’s been on my shelf for a long time so this is the first of many older releases that I’m going to be reviewing. Invariably though life got in the way and the pile of the unread got larger and larger. It was in one of these bouts of “collector madness” that I picked up the Eternals graphic novel, among a bunch of other things. After plowing through this series I would periodically go through a Gaiman splurge anytime something of his was released. It was this series where I first cut my teeth on graphic novels. From there I branched out into many of his other novels and eventually made my way to the Sandman series. A former co-worker from nearly 10 years ago had recommended I read American Gods. Neil Gaiman holds a special place in my heart because it was through him that I originally got into comics.
