Neil Gaiman's Eternals

This is great graphic novel but to get back stop you need to read the graphic novel from 1980's the sleeping celestial and you will want to get the newest launch after this as well

A master piece of story telling from a modern genius (in my opinion). You can always expect something oblique from Gaiman and you get that here in spades - although on the downside I got the feeling that he didn't really know how to end the story which to my mind was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Great condition.Wasn't keen on the artwork.

A great story although the art is an acquired taste.

Good quality very happy, great story

Great!

An interesting reworking by Gaiman and Romita Jnr of a long-forgotten Kirby Klassic. 21st century readers may be somewhat bemused by the praised heaped upon Jack Kirby - by modern standards, his artwork lack realism and his dialogue makes George Lucas look like Shakespeare. But for those of us born in the sixties who grew up with the wonders of Lee and Kirby, the magic is all too apparent, and it's great to see some of The King's lesser creations brought to new audiences with renewed vigour. The good news here is that Gaiman and Romita Jnr have resuscitated...quite literally...the Eternals in a manner that doesn't require you to have read what's gone before. I haven't read the original comics since they first appeared (and I don't recall collecting the entire run then) but Gaiman's deft hand ensures readers old and new can pick this up and delve right in.What you get for your money is typical Gaiman storytelling - at times, this feels more like the Sandman than Kirby. Gaiman's storytelling method is not always entirely appropriate to the epic nature of the source material - where the story details the mythical elements, it's breathtaking stuff and took me back to his best work of yesteryear, but the introduction of the Avengers feels forced and some dialogue, whilst entertaining, lacks perhaps the biblical pretensions of the original that often fitted the premise so well. Still, any Gaiman's better than no Gaiman, and I'm nitpicking here.Art is similarly a mixed bag. I'm not Romita Jnr's biggest fan, and he exhibits the same weaknesses that Kirby so often did: faces lack emotion or subtlety, but given him a double page spread to fill and boy can the guy do epic! The Celestials are literally mind blowing in their scale, and he somehow manages to do Kirby without it looking like Kirby. Impressive images abound and there's so much here to marvel at. Shame about the "quieter" stuff.All in all, I'd recommend with reservations. I think Sandman fans will find more to celebrate that Kirby ones, but this is good, solid entertainment regardless of what angle you come to it from.

First off, let's get this out of the way. I am in no way whatsoever a fan of Neil Gaiman. American Gods was prentious, dull and unpleasant. 1601 was pretentious, a wasted opportunity and dull. And as for his run on Miracleman, he well and truly scuppered that epic.So it is something of a major shock that this was rather good. The story moved at a good pace and kept me interested throughout. The original Kirby Eternal series was good but a little basic (no surprise really considering when it was written and the author's penchant for trying out too many ideas) so this a sound updating of an already good premise.The only quibble I have is the pointless interview with Tori Amos in the back of my copy. Why the hell would I want to ready about a shrieking freak-girl whose songs still cause me to wake up in a cold sweat?
