So I just reread the first issue, and here are my thoughts.
It’s slow, and not a lot of action, but there’s depth, and a very real plan to flesh these characters out, without having to take away from the grandeur that is the Eternals. This feels very much like a Hickman comic, with the world building going on, but unlike Hickman, Gillen nails the characterization, especially with Ikaris. I also love how Gillen has integrated the Machine, aka Earth, as a supporting character. She felt like Jarvis in the Marvel films, pre-Vision. There’s a mystery, and while it appears that it might be Thanos, I hope that’s just a red herring. I want to see more of Zuraz as well. Much like Odin, I feel like there’s a wealth of story potential that writers haven’t seemed to have fully grasped just yet. I’m definitely in this for the long haul.

Has the comics retconned Ego into being a Celestial, or is that still something that’s only film related?
