Eternals #3 - Marvel


Neil Gaiman is creating an awesome story here. What's really incredible, is that he's doing so while still remaining true to all the history and heritage that has gone on before. Also John Romita Jr's artwork is phemononal. When he puts this much effort into a project, it really shows. The only reason I say that is because his work of late, in various mini-series, is so much more detailed than when he participates in a series. No disrespect meant. But, I really much prefer his work on the mini's because it seems like he takes his time, and enjoys the finished project more. I'm guessing. But, something is shining through in his work. Ok, we're back to dealing with some Eternals, in their human guise. And apparently, they don't remember being Eternals. We got Mark Curry, Ike Harris, Sersi, Thena Eliot, and Deputy Prime Minister Druig so far. Although the last one, I'm not sure who's side he's on. Oh yeah, we also have the young one, I can't remember his name, that is the child TV star. At the end of the last book, the party that Sersi was in charge of at the Vorozheika Embassy, had been invaded by some terrorists looking to capture all the scientists in attendance. They were hired by Druig. But something went wrong and they are no longer taking orders from him. Mark jumps into action, literally, and gets rid of the bullets, the guns and most of the shooters. Thena jumps in to help a little too. But then Iron Man shows up. Mark is worried that if he really does have powers, that he'll have to register, so he's trying to keep a low profile. Iron Man trys to talk to Sersi, since she's a former Avenger, but she apparently has no memory of anything. And Druig uses his powers to slip out of the fray unnoticed. All this is being retold to the TV kid, by Mark, because he has felt some kind of connection to him, so he flew out to CA to tell him. Meanwhile, Ike Harris, Ikaris, who was atomized last issue, has reformed in some type of chamber in the Antarctic. He's seems to be a man that really can't be kept down. Awesome story. Awesome art. And cool cover. What more could I ask for?
