Asgard takes on the Celestial Fourth Host...:

This trade paperback collects the second half of "The Eternals Saga", Roy Thomas' extended story arc that introduced Jack Kirby's Eternals into the mainstream Marvel Universe. The first volume of this collection gave us an extended flashback to Thor's history with the Eternals around the time of the Celestials' previous judgement of Earth, introduced various Eternals characters (notably future Avenger Sersi) and plot threads in the present day, and set up a mystery around All-Father Odin's past history with... more info

THOR: THE ETERNALS SAGA VOLUME 2 collects Thor #292 - 301, concluding the world-threatening conflict between the Asgardians, Olympians, Eternals, and Celestials. This is storytelling on the most grandiose scale, and I'd be hard-pressed to... more info
