Eternals
This recent mini by Neil Gaiman revives the Eternals concept created by Kirby and tries to once and for all fit them into the Marvel Universe. Gaiman pretty much keeps the mythology intact (with some exceptions) and creates a story where the Eternals all lost their memory, but little by little they realize their true identity and what they lose [...]
Agents of Atlas
I'd heard good things about this mini, so I decided to check it out. Even though this story heavily references old obscure stories, I thought the summary pages about past stories were very well done, so I didn't think I was missing anything.

[...]

I recently read this old graphic novel written/drawn by Jim Starlin. I know nothing about Cap Marvel, so everything I read was totally new to me. This story recounts some of the important events in Cap Marvel's life, narrated by Cap himself during his last few days of life. The narration is somewhat poetic, and at times a little bit corny, but [...]
