This sounds like one of those books that's a primer for people looking to know about the characters before they see the movie, or people who see the movie who might want to dip their toes in the well of comics. They do these for every movie

Yup I suspect that's what this is, it's more of the merch roll out for the movie.

This image shows Makkari and Sprite as female so it must be based on the movie right? If memory serves they are both male in the comics correct? It's been a looooonnnngggg time since I read about these characters so I could be completely wrong.

they always were to my knowledge Male, I'm not sure if they changed them before the movie, or if it's to reflect the movie, some of the other characters look to be more like the movie counterpart, so I'm guessing this is in wake of the movie's alterations to the characters, but it's been a long time since I read anything new from Eternals.

They are changed in the newest series. I'm not sure if it was done before that.

Found the image I was remembering...

This sounds like one of those books that's a primer for people looking to know about the characters before they see the movie, or people who see the movie who might want to dip their toes in the well of comics. They do these for every movie and I never know how to judge their quality since I'm never compelled to read them, as I already have a base of knowledge for the characters.

I will say, though, that the current ETERNALS series by Gillen and Ribic is pretty interesting. Kind of slow going, but so far I think it's the most interesting take on the characters since they were created.
