I liked THE ETERNALS. No, it wasn't perfect, but firstly, Romita Jr's art was fantastic. Secondly, he managed to embrace a lot of the big headed concepts of the "new gods" like the Eternals and weave it into a sort of myth, while beginning on a street level basis and catching up people who never bothered with it in the 70's.
Yes, I can almost imagine Darthphere or someone else going, "Okay, so you can give Eternals a try, but not Captain America?" Logically, it does seem daft. But at this point the biggest hurdle, besides the fact I've never cared to read a CA book, is that I would have to catch up on two year's worth of material, and that costs green. One collective hardcover is not happening, because it is a hot book so Marvel will milk the **** out of it. When one hardcover does come out, it'll be ridiculously overpriced.
Plus, if I liked it, I'd have to go on some sort of retraction statement after all the Cap death b****ing and then I'd get even more razzing than I do now, therefore not making it worth it.
