A review by rhiannoncs
Eternals by Neil Gaiman

2.0

This all starts very well - regular people begin to have dreams and encounters that clue them in to the fact that they are actually Eternals (one of Marvel's Kirby-created races). The first couple of issues introduce the characters and bring them together well, and I really enjoyed them. But it all kind of falls apart after that; I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish in terms of a lot of the characters. Also, it's hard not to notice that Gaiman has a definite bag of tricks he pulls things from - the two Deviants are essentially written word for word as though they were Croup and Vandemar from Neverwhere, for example.

Props do need to go to the colorist, though - particularly on the flashback sequences. They managed to do an incredibly retro color scheme in a beautiful fashion.
