The Eternal #1

Synopsis

A race of immortal beings known as the Celestials have dominion over all life in the galaxy. For thousands of years, the Celestials have enslaved another race of beings, the Eternals, and sent them from world to world to mine each planet of its natural resources.  The Eternals use genetically modified local fauna -- which they refer to as "deviants" -- for the actual physical labor.   The Eternals have now come to Earth at the dawn of man, and using genetic resequencing technology, have transformed some of the local pre-human hominids into deviants that, rather surprisingly, resemble the Eternals themselves.
