Eternals #2 - Marvel

Ok, with Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr. on this book, you just know it's going to be epic. First of all huge props to John. His artwork in this book is fantastic. What I like about John is that his work is consistent. He's been all over, Spider-man, Daredevil, etc., and he always remains constant. Neil is really pulling this group together. Basically, the Eternals have all been stuck on earth in "sleeper" identities. Some are a little more coherent than others. Well, now everything seems to be coming to a head. So, the identites are starting to blur with the dreams and images that have always haunted their thoughts. As incidents around them escalate, their grasp on their imagined identities deteriorate. So far we have Ikkarus, Makkari and Sersei. At least that's who they'll be when then return to their true form. But Ikkarus seems to be the catalyst with whom all the change seems to be centered around. I bought this book on a whim. More for Neil than for any other reason. But, I'm glad I did. This should be a good ride.
