Ruins is brilliant. The writing is superb, as is the artwork, and it's as bleak and gory as anything out there. Read Marvels beforehand to understand Ruins a bit more.
@@weare142 Marvels is a comic book, in which reporter Phil Sheldon (who is in Ruins too) explain the story events of Marvel's superheroes between 1940-1960.
The writing I'd superb??? This. Is the WORST writing I've seen in marvel and comic books as a whole, edge for the sake of edge and shock value, this isn't good writing, this is a suicidal emos fanfic
This is a chilling series for Marvel standards...Then again the Ultimatum storyline had our favorite characters with gruesome fates as well. And if you think about it, Ruins is a what would happen if these characters/situations were in the real (our) world.
Wish Marvel Would Utilize It's Backlog of acquired characters from Malibu Comics more often aside from using Topaz from Ultraforce in Thor Ragnarok loved the Malibu characters like Hardcase.
One of the reasons I quit following comics, besides having to buy a dozen titles to keep up, was the whole turn to this dark side, gritty reality. This serves no purpose for me.
In a sense it's a bit of a realistic approach to how a lot of things would be viewed and done in today's world. Making it imho all the more heart breaking
correct me if i’m wrong but isn’t the reason why Silver Surfer torn himself apart was because he was not being able to use his lungs causing him to go insane?
Wow... would love to read that series.. but that artwork! Woof! It's horrible!! I mean, I'm no artist in the least... but c'mon... the artwork looks like cat barf.
Honestly this comic works better read for laughs as a dark comedy because it is everything so over the top worst possible scenario it is difficult to stay serious through it. I read waiting to see Howards the duck in a foie gras farm or some sh*t.
They also mention the fantastic four, even there are no pictures, the most gruesome one was when they said dr doom was wearing his internal organs on the outside, like he was turned inside out
I never heard of Ruins, I'm gonna give it a shot, especially because it's a sequel to Marvels. As a side note I think I actually have the first issue, but never paid it much attention because I knew nothing about it, but it seems like a good series.
That cannibal crap.....!!!! They did have some pointlessly stupid stuff in the books, and some stuff that wasnt necessarily stupid, but just totally left up in the air, as if it was going to be picked up on, or explained later, which it wasn’t, as well as many places where the artwork was just over-the-top “bleak”...some might say “crappy”, where u literally can’t even tell exactly what’s going on! something u covered was one of the weirdest and dumbest! there was no point in making fury and cap cannibals other than the bonus shock value, which was stupid here, because they gave no reference, context, or anything. They’re just talking about how life is shit, and then out of nowhere fury says something like ‘btw, I started eating human flesh because of cap’ ...........lol WHAT?!?!? Where did THAT come from?!? And that’s all we get about it, there was NO mention of cap or anyone eating human flesh before or after that! What, did he mean that in POW camps they had to resort to the unthinkable??? or that they’re serial killer cannibals??? Was it only during the war(in a camp?), or even back home, and maybe still going on??? There’s a LOT of difference between those, and a LOT of space in between, there! I understand the IDEA of casually dropping “bombs”here and there, to shock us, and to rev up the intensity, or other emotions, and maybe that was their intention here, but it was horribly done, It didn’t work at all! I was too busy rereading, and trying to remember another reference, going back and looking forward, and trying to figure out what he meant, to have anything other than a very cursory “that’s crazy!” emotional reaction to it. Also, until u just pointed it out here, I didn’t even consider he meant CAPTAIN America, I thought he just meant like in the war it was Americans who had to eat human flesh to survive, or something.
