Decades later, superstar creators Neil Gaiman & John Romita Jr. have boldly & lovingly reinvigorated the Eternals, crafting a fresh & crackling yarn full of mystery, suspense & majestic power!
Against the backdrop of a superhuman Civil War, the Eternals are awakening one by one from a strange, waking dream - suddenly coming to terms with the fact that they are far more than the normal people they have thought themselves to be. But there is little time to commiserate about such things, because a life & death struggle looms - one that will span both time & space!

Mark Curry believes himself to be living a totally normal, human life as a med student until Ike Harris, or Ikaris, topples the apple cart trying to convince Mark, aka Makkari, of their shared immortality as Eternals.
Ikaris’ sales pitch doubles as a helpful origin story for the reader who may be unfamiliar with Eternals (immortal, super powers), Deviants (ever-changing, monstrous, proliferous), & Celestials (Space Gods, sparkers of life, judgemental daddies).
Mark is skeptical of course, except that some of the details fit those recurring dreams he’s been having.
In fact, almost all 100 or so Eternals have forgotten who they are & are living as humans in the modern world.
