The BasicsThey aren’t superheroes. They’re more like demigods. They’re more like the kind of beings who look at superheroes and smirk. They’ve been there and done that when it comes to the entire universe. And this is their story.My ThoughtsI am a reader of all things Gaiman, so this was a completio...

This is an interesting set of comics about a set of immortals who have been living as humans for a while and find that they are in fact immortals who have been fighting against another hidden race who want to kill humans for a long time. They aren't all good and they do take the long-term view on t...

Gaiman's take on the celestial. It is, it would seem, a remake/mainlining of an old Jack Kirby series. I suppose it was meant to bring the New Gods-ish Eternals fully into Marvel continuity. Sadly for the book, this was in the middle of Civil War, so you have a bunch of nonsense about registering. T...

Gaiman takes an idea from legendary comics creator Jack Kirby and brings it to a new generation of readers. Overall it is a pretty good story with the good blend of mythology and imagination that Gaiman is known for. The Eternals have been gone from the world, and now they are waking up once more. T...

Chariots of the Gods is one of those types of books that I loved as a kid (crazy stuff like the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, aliens, crop circles, ghosts, and everything else in 001) but that I avoid now. So reading Eternals - which is a remake of comic series inspired by Chariots - is kind of child...

Really a 3.7. Enjoyable but a little confusing at times, so you need to reread a few panels but other than that interesting and fast paced. Gaiman did a good job with Kirby. Interesting to see some of the West Coast Avengers

I liked this as a casual read. It was a nice take on the classic Eternals. Kirby would be proud.

Neil Gaiman takes on one of Jack Kirby's creations for Marvel.Despite the fact that these are two very big names, the biggest reaction I can muster is "meh". It was okay, but there was nothing that really grabbed me about it. Gaiman and the artist managed to squeeze the Kirbyishness out of it, witho...
