G~man's Blog: How about those Eternals?

This post relates to: Daniel Acuña, Charles Knauf, Daniel Knauf, Eternals

Marvel is really really pushing the Eternals.  I'm not sure exactly why.  In my years of reading comics they've popped up from time to time.  They've never really been a big driving force in story arcs.  At least not in the ones I read. 

I mentioned before that I read the Neil Gaiman/John Romita  Jr series                    (http://www.comicvine.com/eternals/49-18203/).  It was good.   You'd think Marvel would've been screaming on top of the hills telling everyone about that one. 

I am curious about these guys.  I guess since I actually don't know a whole lot about them.  I'm mainly familiar with Sersi from her time with the Avengers some time ago.  I did buy the first issue.  I haven't had a chance to read it yet.  It seems like people are getting excited over this.  That's good.  I wish the Eternals luck.  Why not let them have a chance to shine in the spotlight?
