So, I picked up the Eternals by Neil Gaiman HC @ milehigh. Gave it a few reads and was intrigued by the concept. Intrigued enough the become curious about the Knauf's ongoing.

So, is the Knauf stuff worth my money or not?

Not quite as good as Gaiman. The series has since been canceled but you could more likely find the complete series pretty cheep online.

I really liked the first 6 issues, but the last 3, the X-Men crossover were pretty crap.

IMHO, the Knauf's ongoing was better than Gaiman's mini. The last three issues weren't as good as the first six, but they were cramming every possible plot wrap-up they could into them.

What I still get a kick out of is that in the X-Books from time to time when they are doing the outdoor scenes in San Fransisco you see the Big Guy just standing in Golden Gate Park. At least the editors are acknowledging what the Knauf's were trying to do.
