      This befuddles the absolute shit out of me because Galactus is one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse (depending on the iteration/ issue/ author and on how satiated he is). Furthermore, Galactus literally cannot die, sure, Thor killed him, but he was revived. Galactus cannot die. He is "fated" to see the end of the universe and be reborn in the next. During his fight with Odin, he was able to fight telepathically and telekinetically: he could find Earth using his mind even if he was on the other side of the universe. HE CAN FLY SEVERAL TIMES FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT. There is no way that he wouldn't have been able to find Earth and consume it before he died.

    Just for some people's information:
    Ruins was actually released as a sort of dark reflection, a parody, of the Comic Miniseries "Marvels", which is a magnificent 4-issue short story depicting the entire 616 Marvel Comic Universe from the point of view of a regular civilian, a reporter named Phil Sheldon. it's actually a really great miniseries and I always recommend that all fans should read this at least once in their life time.
    So yeah, if you're thinking, this is just so obviously trying to be edgy and dark, you're right! it's just supposed to be a sort of joke story parodying a better story. Ruins didn't even get 4 issues like Marvels did, it only got 2 issues. that should tell you how seriously you should take this story.

      The Main Difference between the two is more of how the story is laid out, as Marvels is more of a throwback to the history of Marvel, while Kingdom Come is like looking forward, since it deals with the future.

There's some interesting ideas here but the inconsistency is kind of distracting and makes me wonder what the point of it all is. The art is nice though.

      It is a mirror image of the 616 universe. If everything is fine there, the heroes win, and mutations give amazing super-abilities, then everything is bad here, mutations bring only suffering and painful death.
      There was even a phrase, for every light there is darkness. The meaning of the comic is to show this mirror world and it is so terrible precisely because of the way the original universe is.
      Interestingly, being a reflection, this universe is the most realistic.

    The scene with the punisher shot dead,
    while tragic is shockingly realistic and not too far off thematically. Here you have is a man of the law who had lost his family from the mob and now he devotes his life on a violent path of vengeance, vowing to destroy all those who "wronged" him. Even when he eventually eliminates his enemies his continues on his futile quest for "justice" and due his past and his current actions he can never even attempt return to a normal life. By abandoning his principles and disregarding due process and innocence till proven guilty, he becomes the very thing he is trying to get rid of. A broken man like Frank Castle is more of less destined to die like that.

    I read this comic for the first time today. I’ve read my dad’s trade copy of Marvels many times throughout my life, so upon learning that there was a What If story for it, I had to read it. I expected something dark, but I didn’t expect this. This makes Marvel Zombies look like Adam West era Batman. It was just flat out depressing, seeing all the heroes I grew up with reimagined as withered, rotting, hollow shells of beings. And the returning art style of the original story made the body horror elements all the more horrifying. While I found this to be an interesting read and recommend it to anyone who’s a fan of Marvel, Marvels, horror, and alternate universe story’s I felt emotionally drained after reading it. I may re-read Marvels again as a palate cleanser.

      In fact, this is the worst universe only for those who should become heroes, miracles. In the same marvel zombies humanity was slaughtered, in many parallel universes the apocalypse happened.... But here, without any superheroes and supervillains, the world lives as it used to live, even Galactus himself died a step away from salvation. This world doesn't need heroes, it's fine as it is. And it is not much worse than ours.

From the fact that Magneto, Spider-Man and many others died painfully, the world has not changed in any way. Even the problem with aliens like the Kree and Galactus invaders was resolved without heroes.

    The same goes for this story. Its ONLY torture and suffering and it makes it all...repetative. And it doesn't impact the same way when every single character is tragic and suffers.

    The comic is absolutely crushing just seeing your favorite superheros mistreated and in constant pain and agony everything that was supposed to go wrong just went wrong
    The most soul crushing scenes were that of Peter. A very friendly and helpful student in one panel brightly smiling and in the other he's just a skinless cancer. That look of despair on his face and how he's holding that blanket will just stick with me for a while it's kind of traumatic to see
