A solid set of 3 oneshots detailing (and mildly retconning) important dates and events from Eternals history. Nothing wrong with any of them, and they're enjoyable reads, but part of my lower rating is an economic one - I despise when Marvel throws 3 issues into a trade and then pads it with old, semi-relevant, stories to justify the $15.99USD pricetag. Which is $5.33/issue - more than cover price! (Which, for the record, was $3.99/issue). Compare that to Defenders Beyond TPB which came out within a week or two of this book - 5 issues ($3.99 cover price) of new content PLUS old material for the same $15.99USD cover price. That makes the TPB a small savings (80¢/issue) over the floppies. How it's supposed to be. Collections like this one just make me mad. Charging me a premium just because they can. Realistically, these oneshots should have been included in vol 1&2 of the series TPBs for Eternals by Gillen. But that makes Marvel less money, and we can't have that.

So, yeah, stories great. The oneshots are well written and drawn, and give some great context and history to the characters. But charging me for 5 issues and giving me 3 plus 5 paragraphs of intros to stories from the 70s? Loses you marks. ( )
