Gaiman is one of the better authors of fantasy and otherworlds going right now so anytime he steps into the comic book realm it is something to look forward to. The Eternals are what our Gods once were and the tales told of them and their home ring true in this retelling. With great artwork by John Romita Jr., Gaiman spins a tail of great power and of a race of heroes that have fallen into mythology. Their sworn enemies, the Deviants are also sensing that there is a great threat looming. But the Eternals do not answer to humanity and they know something else is happening. It is the time of the Civil War between super powered beings on Earth and the Avengers are the ultimate in security and force. What power took their memories and what is happening now. The Eternals are awakening, but why have they little memory of who they were and why they suddenly stopped being the protectors of the world they once were. That Mark is thousand of years old, an Eternal, created by god-like beings called Celestials. That Mark is someone more powerful than he could know. Nightmares he thinks until a man approaches him and hints that his dreams are far from fiction. Medical student Mark Curry is trying to catch a little rest between rounds, but his dreams are filled with creatures and other worldly beings. Eternals by Neil Gaiman is a revision of the characters and original tales by Jack the King Kirby and with the upcoming MCU adaptation coming up, this volume is a great way to familiarize yourself with these characters.
