About the series
In this six-issue Marvel miniseries from 2003–2004, writer Chuck Austen and artist Kev Walker reimagined the ancient, godlike Celestials as a family of squabbling cosmic deities whose earthly creations—including humanity and the Eternals—become pawns in their celestial drama. Pushing the Eternals into a more mythological, almost soap-operatic direction, the series explores the tension between these immortal beings and their creators without losing the grand-scale cosmic spectacle. A distinctive, if divisive, entry in Marvel’s cosmic lore, it stands as a bold, character-driven experiment from the era.
