While Gaiman fans will still sign up, it isn't long before the tale gets tangled in the Olympian scope of this often baffling struggle. Romita's storytelling is strong without coming near Kirby's epochal original. It is easy to spot Gaiman's touch in this modern-day clash between ancient forces, as he shies away from Kirby's '70s-era, Chariots of God–style alien mythologizing to focus more on the characters' slow coming to grips with the enormity of their identity and the loss of humanity that comes from being an Eternal. The source of all this forgetfulness and strife appears to be the eternally 11-year-old Sprite, who desires to be allowed to age like an actual human.

Eternals (2006) Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Superhero Publisher: Marvel Writer: Neil Gaiman Artist: John Romita Jr. The Eternals, a super-race, are now scattered and forgetful of their powers and immortality, living mortal human lives of supreme normalcy (Sersi is a New York party girl, while Makkari believes himself to be Bellevue ER doc Mark Curry). Jack Kirby's old Eternals series gets a serious dusting-off from Gaiman ( Anansi Boys) and artist Romita.
