    <body><![CDATA[Neil Gaiman, Eternals (Marvel, 2007)<br/><br/>Neil Gaiman working on a superhero comic? I signed up for this one as soon as I heard about it, and it didn't disappoint. Not much, anyway. (My disappointment will vanish entirely as soon as there is a volume 2.)<br/><br/>Eternals is basically set-up...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19693022">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An update/relaunch of <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q= Jack Kirby" title=" Jack Kirby"> Jack Kirby</a>'s <em>Eternals</em> by my beloved Neil; sadly, I'm not loving it. There were aspects of it that I really liked—the first part of the plot involves amnesia, which is kind of a shoo-in for me—and I think Gaiman did amazing, creepy, tragic things with the character of Sprit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6512756">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I so want to give this a good review. Hell, it’s Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite authors, whom I’ve defended time and again against the people who think that graphic novels have little redeeming value. But Eternals falls far short of what could have been such a great story. I mean, I know what N...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4789321">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Neil Gaiman updates Jack Kirby, and it's a blast.  The Eternals have always been one of the more obscure and stranger of Jack Kirby's countless creations, and despite the unusual ideas have never really resonated.  With this reinvention, however, Neil keeps the cast to a manageable level, with the r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30379889">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Very quickly you get the feeling that this story did not go as planned. Apparently originally scheduled for six issues, it ballooned to seven near the end, and it shows from how oblong the ending goes; a fight scene is added, antagonists disappear or switch side with little explanation, and the whol...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44763277">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As always, Gaiman brings his wonderful sense of mythology to this take on characters created by Jack Kirby.  I never read the original comics by Kirby.  Believe it or not, I wasn't a big comic reader in my younger days.  That being said, I read this knowing there is some &quot;history&quot; that I a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31247792">more...</a>]]></body>
