This issue was not necessary to end the story of the Eternals, but it showed where the next writer should take them when they appear in a comic book again. It’s a great story focussing on creatures that are more than men but not gods yet. The final showdown with Sprite is evocative and makes one feel sorry for that boy who would not age. As much as Zuras, the Eternal’s leader looks evil for his actions, in this issue, it almost seems like there was no other choice. Comic books who make you think like this and that leave a lingering taste, are great.
Romita’s work is excellent as usual. What can be said more? It’s fine storytelling with a good choice of panels and emphasis on what matters about this story.
Rating: 10/10
