This issue is slower than the first but goes into more detail into the personality of other Eternals. Each is introduced slowly but one can already guess where this will go. Next issue, a couple of them will reawaken and take on the bad guys. I wish Gaiman would not serve up such a cliché plot. There is also some acknowledgment that the story is in continuity as the Iron Man’s secret identity as Tony Stark is known knowledge.
I can’t say much about the artwork. Romita Jr drew perfectly rendered pages filled with adequate pacing, strong storytelling and catching character expressions. The characters almost feel real, although his style is anything but realistic.
Rating: 6/10
