* OutOfFocus: The Deviants don’t appear and are barely even mentioned. At the end of the previous series Makkari’s transformation and the awakening of their deity seemed to herald a change in their relationship to the Eternals, but this series focuses on the feud within Eternal society instead.

* CurbStompBattle: Druig and Legba find themselves facing an angry, brainwashed Gilgamesh. They’re unable to subdue him telepathically and no match for him physically. Druig’s left with a shattered spine, Legba with crushed lungs and a broken pelvis.
* DefensiveFeintTrap: After Ikaris makes a solo attack on Vorozheika, Druig, Legba and their allies chase him across the world, knowing that he’s renounced his ties to Olympia and can’t rely on the other Eternals for support. Which is true, as far as it goes - it’s the ComicBook/XMen, not Eternals, who are allied with Ikaris and waiting to ambush them.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Legba, briefly mentioned in the Gaiman series, is the most prominent new introduction. Like all other Eternals of Earth, he’s a million years old. We just haven’t met him before. Eramis, Pannix and Akpaxa are the other named new Eternals, but get a much smaller role.

Some, following Zuras, have returned to the hidden Eternal city of Olympia. Others - the majority - have followed the villainous Druig, who’s now seized control of the human nation of Vorozheika.

Following the events of that series, only a handful of the 100 Eternals have recovered their full power and shaken off their recent amnesia, and those who have are clearly split into two factions.

[[redirect:ComicBook/TheEternals]]''Eternals'' is a 2008 series from Creator/MarvelComics, written by Charles Knauf & Daniel Knauf and illustrated by Daniel Acuña and Eric Nguyen (with colors on the Nguyen issues by Andy Troy). It revisits characters and concepts created by Creator/JackKirby in his original 1970s series ''ComicBook/TheEternals'', following on from the SoftReboot within the [[ComicBook/Eternals2006 previous Eternals miniseries]].

Following the events of that series, only a handful of the 100 Eternals have recovered their full power and shaken off their recent amnesia, and those who have are clearly split into two factions.

Some, following Zuras, have returned to the hidden Eternal city of Olympia. Others - the majority - have followed the villainous Druig, who’s now seized control of the human nation of Vorozheika.

The Eternals of Olympia are concerned at how fast Druig’s faction is growing - and even more concerned that some seem to be brainwashed, not recruited of their own free will.

However, both factions have a bigger problem. The Dreaming Celestial, the renegade their creators buried for a million years, has finally awoken. And who knows what it plans for the Earth?

The series ran for nine issues, plus an annual with a different creative team (written by Fred Van Lente, with art by Pascal Alixe and colors by Brad Anderson).

The first issue was released on June 11 2008.

!!This series contains examples of

* AfterlifeAntechamber: The Vestibule, where Sersi and Vampiro arrive after their deaths. They perceive it as a cocktail bar.
* ApocalypseHow: The sequence the Dreaming Celestial initiates after Makkari’s death will annihilate and reset the Earth.
* BackForTheDead: Vampiro, who previously appeared in a single issue of ''Thor'' (1979) is back 30 years later as one of Druig’s recruits. The Horde kills him two issues later (and the Eternals ResurrectiveImmortality machine is broken by that point).
* BackFromTheDead: Joey is resurrected by the Dreaming Celestial.
* BlatantLies: The Dreaming Celestial to Uatu the Watcher, at the end of the series. It insistently repeats that “The boy woke with the others when the (song/sequence/fail-safe) was aborted”. He definitely wasn’t dead and resurrected by the Celestial. Definitely not. Uatu’s not buying it.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Ajak reaches the amnesiac Gilgamesh before Druig or Ikaris can, modifies his mind and sets him on both factions.
* TheBusCameBack: Pixie, previously seen in ''Marvel: The Lost Generation'' and a couple of ''X-Men: The Hidden Years'' stories, returns almost a decade later as one of Druig’s recruited Eternals.
* CurbStompBattle: Druig and Legba find themselves facing an angry, brainwashed Gilgamesh. They’re unable to subdue him telepathically and no match for him physically. Druig’s left with a shattered spine, Legba with crushed lungs and a broken pelvis.
* DefensiveFeintTrap: After Ikaris makes a solo attack on Vorozheika, Druig, Legba and their allies chase him across the world, knowing that he’s renounced his ties to Olympia and can’t rely on the other Eternals for support. Which is true, as far as it goes - it’s the ComicBook/XMen, not Eternals, who are allied with Ikaris and waiting to ambush them.
* FaceHeelTurn: Ajak, who’s refusing to accept that Makkari has been chosen by the Dreaming Celestial.
* TheHedonist: It really says something when the actual [[TheCaligula Emperor Commodus]] of all people labelled Legba as a "sybarite" during an orgy.
* HumanityIsInfectious: The Dreaming Celestial, like the Watcher before him, eventually begins to notice emotions he isn't supposed to have, like anger and compassion.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Ajak uses this to persuade Californian superheroes the Order that they didn’t see him in Golden Gate Park.
* MuggingTheMonster: Two scavengers find a seriously wounded Druig in Brazil after Gilgamesh has shattered his spine. They try to steal his boots. He’s still dangerous enough to snap their necks and turn them inside out.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Legba, briefly mentioned in the Gaiman series, is the most prominent new introduction. Like all other Eternals of Earth, he’s a million years old. We just haven’t met him before. Eramis, Pannix and Akpaxa are the other named new Eternals, but get a much smaller role.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Temporarily averted via brute force. A brainwashed Gilgamesh breaks the machines of resurrection, preventing Makkari’s return.
* SinisterMinister: While amnesiac after Sprite’s reality-warping, Legba becomes a fire-and-brimstone Louisiana preacher. Who’s also hypocritical and very fond of the pleasures of the flesh.
* TakeAThirdOption: Ikaris can’t gather the Eternals to act against Druig because Zuras has agreed to non-interference and the Olympian Eternals must remain uninvolved. So he renounces his ties to Olympia and recruits the ComicBook/XMen as allies, in place of his fellow Eternals.
* TakeMeInstead: when the [[ResurrectiveImmortality resurrection machine]] is wrecked, Sersi chooses to die so that her body can be transformed into a replica of Makkari’s and he can return to life.
* TimeSkip: A DistantFinale in 2115, when reporter Michelle Urich tracks down one of the last Eternals on Earth. [[spoiler:The adult Joey Eliot, aka Joey Athena]].
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: The non-interference bargain that Zuras made with Druig leaves Ikaris with this dilemma. If he gathers allies and mounts an attack on Druig, he dishonours Olympia and offends Zuras. If he does nothing, Druig continues to brainwash lost Eternals and increases his power base. Naturally, he [[TakeAThirdOption Takes A Third Option]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: After Ikaris attacks Druig and his recruits in Vorozheika, he flees and Eramis flies after him, confident that he can win in single combat. Ikaris lets him catch up, grabs him by the heel in mid-air.. and throws him into a cliff at full speed.
* UnseenNoMore: Legba, mentioned in the previous Neil Gaiman miniseries, is properly introduced here.
* WhamLine: “''Host organism Joey Eliot, unharmed''”
