Following up on Neil Gaiman's best-selling series (and a recent appearance in the Incredible Hercules), join writers Charles and Daniel Knauf and rising superstar artist Daniel Acu–a, as Jack Kirby's Eternals return to walk among us!

@Neal:
Since Carnivàle was cancelled in 2005, Knauf has moved on to write for television series Supernatural and Standoff, also serving as a co-executive producer on the latter. He and his son Charles Knauf have written six issues of Iron Man for Marvel Comics,[6] as well as volume #2 of The Eternals since its 2006 revival after over thirty years.[7] - Wikipedia
ergo: I wouldn't get my hopes up

@Neal Their 'Iron Man' has been decent (Josh & Conor have talked about it on the show). I don't have a clue how they'll handle this subject matter, but I liked the Gaiman series enough to give issue 1 a whirl.
Plus, I heard a rumor the team from 'The Order' is making a cameo at some point. Which is exciting to -- well, me and possibly Matt Fraction.

I'm interested, I like the Eternals, but I'm really hesitant to be picking up another book right now.

Overall okay... the art was pretty good, but nothing really happened. It seemed really touch-and-go, however, it's only the first issue.

I had never read the original Kirby just finished the Gaiman reboot and am very interested to see how the Knauf's do with this series.
I'm not familiar with the Knauf's. Do they do good work? Any of you folks think this is going to be really good?
