Not bad or anything. Just not particularly original or noteworthy. Just a fairly run of the mill powerful superhero story. It feels like Gaiman is phoning it in a bit in this one.

Me gustó. Sabía que existían estos personajes, pero nunca leí nada de ellos previamente. Con este libro me enteré que después de que cancelaron su serie original en los 70 hecha por Kirby, solo habían tenido pocas apariciones posteriores, de dudosa calidad.
Gaiman llegó y con su bello estilo para entretejer historias, junto con ilustraciones de Romita Jr. hicieron un gran trabajo para que quienes no leemos muchos comics tengamos una historia completa y divertida de principio a fin. Asimismo, quienes leen más y conocen a fondo las relaciones de los personajes y en general el mundo de Marvel, hallarán muchas joyas en su trasfondo (como Civil War), el pasado de Sersi con los Avengers y más.

This may be the best comic I’ve read this year. Then again, so much of my taste in comics was formed by Neil Gaiman that it should come as no surprise.

Really interesting take on superheroes! Strange and weird. I wish it had been a bit longer, and the last two issues weren’t as good as the first few, when mark was just a dude trying to figure stuff out. The messiah stuff felt kinda boring compared to the human conflicts of the first few issues.

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. They lived their lives basically as common humans, and they have to remember who they are once more in order to save the world. The events happen during the Civil War story arc, with some small appearance by Iron Man and some of the Avengers. The art is also very good in this volume, plus this volume does include some extras such as cover galleries, art galleries so you can see how some of the characters looked in Kirby's day compared to today, and an extended interview with Neil Gaiman. Marvel fans will probably like this one. Gaiman fans who like his other graphic novel work may like it as well even if they are not "real comics readers." Overall, a pretty nice story.

I read this after watching (and being somewhat confused by) the movie and found it to be enjoyable and entertaining--I was already sort of primed for the weirdness of it. Predictably I was very charmed by the America's Next Superhero reality show C-plot.
