The story opens up on the resurrection of Ikaris, the last of the Eternals to be “woken” again. He is given instructions to release Sprite, an eternal who caused a lot of problems for the Eternals recently and has been “reset.” The two travel to the main city of The Eternals and soon find Prime Eternal Zurus has been murdered. This isn’t a majorly big deal because he’ll be resurrected soon, but then they find out The Machine, the system that keeps Earth alive and maintains The Eternals, has been sabotaged, including the mechanism to revive Eternals. There’s no shortage of suspects who would want to bring down Eternals and/or destroy the Earth. Together with Sersi, Thana, Ikaris, Sprite, and a few others try to track down the traitor while keeping humans safe and alive.

A million times more entertaining than the movie, although I wanted to kick all the characters in the shins. A bunch of really cool concepts, plus I found the Machine's narration hilarious.

I was persuaded to read this due to the movie that just came out. While I prefer the movie over the comic I will continue reading this series. It is driven by the plot and the art work is phenomenal.
