So, the other day I was at comic town picking up my copy of the first Invisibles trade they back-ordered for me, and I saw that they had all seven issues of Eternals in stock. Being a huge Gaiman fanboy, I bought it and read it all in one go. I was quite impressed. I had never read any of the Eternals before at all, and in fact, didn't have a clue about them in the slightest.

So, anyone else read it? Opinions? And also, is this going to become an ongoing? I thought I'd read somewhere it was... but that probably means Gaiman's not going to be at the helm?

I liked the first issue...but forgot to look for subsequent issues.

Yeah, I know I'm not offering creative feedback, but I just wanted to say "hey kids, LFV is back!!"

Our seeds of discontent have been sown by your depature. We nourish them with our tears.

First issue was great. Rest were dogshit. I suspect it will read ok in trade though.

Most of Gaiman's work reads better in a trade, really. I've read the first three, but I haven't had the cash to get any books since. I did like what I've read

I read them all straight through and thought it worked well. It didn't feel particularly disjointed or anything. What didn't you like about 2-7, Dave?

Well, start with the fact that it was seven issues (four would have made the point), it turning out to be "one of the Eternals turned evil". a Civil War tie in shoehorned in, and it just seemed...pointless, really.

Ah. I don't follow Marvel at all, so I quite liked it. Pointless was more or less exactly what I was looking for. A nice, self-contained story.
