I'd be interested in seeing a more realistic view of the Marvel world. As the title suggests, Ruins is more focused on "what if everything went to shit" realism

Peter is a huge dick, though.

>>88614097
He really isn't. Spider-Man is a dick because Peter is bad at socially interacting, and his best idea to act in costume is the polar opposite of who he is. There's no reality where Peter decides "I'm infected with a thing. Let's go interact with people."

He'd have holed himself up in a lab and either figure out how to cure it, or let himself die so no one else suffered.

That's all there is hope you guys enjoyed the story

>>88614136
Pre-powers Peter absolutely is. It's literally the whole basis of Amazing Fantasy #15 that he is a wall-flower. And for most of USM's first... nine issues? However long it took for him to become Spider-Man. It's cool if you don't know about comics, but don't try and say that Peter knew how to socially interact with people before he got confidence in himself by having powers.

Any mention of Spiderman in the book, I might have missed?

>>88614183
Just where they make it that Peter is a virus spreading asshole at the end.

>>88614163
thanks for the stortyime

though to be perfectly honest I can see why Ellis disavows it, nothing really made me recoil in disgust or something though the hulk page is pretty damn disgusting alright

it just made me think "it's a 'the writer tryhards harder than a tryhard tries' episode"

Johnny lighting his head on fire reminded me of that picture someone made of Taskmaster trying to imitate Ghost Rider.

So essentially everything went to shit since America fucked up with the mutants? Any time the mutants are involved these alternate universes always go super grimdark mode on them

Seriously the mutant thing personally to me never worked like in 616 I never understood how all that mutant hate shit happened when other heroes were around. Then you got people who make their own universes of what ifs and mostly its the mutant hate thing taken up to 40k levels of PURGE THE MUTANTS.


Is there a universe where mutants idunno arent persecuted and or genocided?

>>88614696
There are, but in those the mutants are the ones enslaving and killing humanity.

Because the full on genocide way is arguably more interesting apparently and the universe that do have no mutant the same grimderp happens with mutants being the dicks.


Its either purge the unclean or your are inferior humanoids

>>88612918
I figured that he'd mind-controlled his way in. Doubt this Xavier would have any qualms about it.

>>88614696

I never got the mutant plot in the regular marvel universe either most of the time it was written off as "not my problem" id say ultimate was the only one that tackled it correctly.

>>88614452
No basically this ties back into marvels cosmic origins in which some cosmic beings didn't fuck with humanity to help with facilitating super people resulting in normal people undergoing super powers processes without the tampering of cosmic entities meaning they die

Exceptions are Tech heroes like Iron man Pym and mutants which have their own gene for powers but Captain America given the super soldier serum without the tampering of the cosmic made him fuckin insane to what extent is unknown but the avengers were still founded

The Hulk is a example of normal person without tampering because of the fact the gamma still transforms banner into hulk with healing factor intact because he lived through the ordeal but being a normal human being didn't adsorb the gamma magically and gained rapid cancer from the radiation. same for Rick Jones being so close to the blast

all of this added up still doesn't add up to so many characters acting the way they do namely Xavier who might be insane due to his power set since a normal kid hearing everyone's thoughts and can control people would obviously go insane and they make sure to note that mags might have never met Xavier and also might not have any control of his powers since why would he be able to affect the force of his magnetism and how its directed?

Bottom line its shite

>>88614696
Well superhuman freaks are generally well received in D.C., or at least judged on a person to person basis.

>>88614696
mutants are generally all assholes

I wonder if the wibbly artwork is supposed to suggest that this might just be some particularly horrible nightmare Sheldon is having.

>>88613752
I thought Thor got blown up at the start?

>>88615144
that's the doctor not thor

>>88614060
I think it's a carry-over from the proper Marvels book, where Sheldon hates Parker's guts because he thinks he's a blood-sucking little asshole who makes money off getting shots of Spider-Man.

Kinda funny, really.

So, there's a good bit to go until the image limit, anyone have Marvels?

I feel like we'd benefit from the contrast.

>>88615320

We really do.

>>88614952
Yes, it was supposed to be a parody of Marvels but it's completely shit at doing that because the point of Marvels wasn't "look at how awesome everything is." I mean for fucks sake, Marvels is about a Marvel civilian who doesn't hate superheroes like everyone else and trying to fight against that shitty mentallity ("look up in the sky for once in your miserable lives!") only to have it end with him getting disillusioned with superheroes and giving up on them after realising how flawed they truly are.

The first issue has Namor flooding New York and Phil losing his eye to Namor vs. Hammond. The third issue is about the hatred for mutants. The fourth issue has Gwen Stacy's death.

Ruins completely fails at "parodying" Marvels, because it's not actually parodying Marvels. It's just using the same main character and a small handful of surface level parallels while trying to be edgy for edginesses sake.

You mean Ultimatum, and no, not really.

>like Wasp gets eatan by the blob and ant man goes allah ackbar.
That happens in, like, the second issue.

>While new york is flooded by namor.
Flooded by Magneto, actually.

>>88612918
As shitty as this book is I really like the idea of Xavier getting fed up with shit and mind controlling his way into the presidency. Not sure about waving his cock in front of people though.

>>88614696
Mutant X had that as plot didn't at first, mutants and humans living in harmony. But then they reconnected it to be worse than ever but Havok never noticed. Still people hating mutants never bothered me because its the difference between cops and military compared to militia and vigilantes. The Avengers and Fantastic Four all work with the Government or have some credentials or recognition while mutants can be anyone, you could just be going to McDonald's and bump into a dude who uncontrollably shoots lasers out of his eyes. Easy to understand how that shit might be a little scarier than Captain America.

>>88615549

I've thought about Ruins for a while now. Its a very interesting book that is let down by its lack of depth. Its plot is just an excuse to show us one scene of despair after the next.

Mind you, this was completely intentional. Ellis himself notes that this book was meant to be Comedy (http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=6630). It was never meant to be a deep look at Superheroes, but rather Ellis taking a piss on Marvels.


Which is a shame, because you can see hints of greatness in some panels ( >>88613859 , >>88613357 ). But then you pointlessly edgy shit like Fury killing Jean or Professor X telling people about his willie. I'd love to see Ellis try and create an actual story and not just a Freakshow.

On a sidenote, I think this books gritty, fever-dream artstyle perfectly contrasts with Marvel's Rockwell-esque style

>>88614135
>end
Really? Shitty.

>>88615418
But he expressly says before his rash showed, even though we can see the beginnings of in the next panel. Implication being he probably didn't even know he was infected yet, let alone infectious.

It's insane how well superheroes can work in a horror comic!

>>88619193
Punisher Max's Born, The Cell, and The End make good horror comics.

>>88614761
>Its either purge the unclean or your are inferior humanoids

Those are the only ways the mutant situation could end.

Aren't we fortunate to live in a time where our comic book characters aren't locked up for crimes they MIGHT commit with their powers, where no race is doomed to a slow, agonizing death from a poisoned environment forced upon them by an uncaring government, where figures like the Hulk, Captain America, and Iron Man are protecting the earth, where Wolverine isn't dying from exposure to adamantium, and where Professor X cares about mutants and would never confine and disable one simply because it was inconvenient to deal with?

>in a more realistic world?

I used to think that about this story, too. Upon several rereads it's more like """"realistic"""" than realistic.

>>88615577
Yeah, it's amazing how I've seen people praise Ruins but seem like they don't get Marvels at all. Usually if someone tries to say Ruins is "the opposite" of Marvels I usually wonder if they actually read Marvels and noticed the stuff you mentioned.

For the most part Ellis wanted to do like a dark humor thing. I get that, and some parts did seem funny. But it was like a joke that got dragged out too long (and he even admits this; the comic was originally supposed to be an issue of What If, but then they expanded it to two prestige format issues.)

>>88617244
To be fair, irradiating spiders tends to not cause super viruses in reality...you know, since a spider isn't a virus, so even if he was showing symptoms of something, he shouldn't have thought he was contagious.

>>88616716
>but rather Ellis taking a piss on Marvels.

I think there's a way to do it and get it to work, but this really didn't work. I'll admit, I did used to like this. But upon a later reread it's rather piss-poor. I mean I still liked some parts of it.

>>88614940
What happened was that the original artists of the first issue got into a nasty divorce. So then they had to get another artist to take over.

>>88616716
>or Professor X telling people about his willie.
Wasn't the implication supposed to be the imprisoned mutants are his direct descendants somehow?

>>88614696
Someone is getting persecuted or genocided in literally every universe except the one Doom rules with an iron fist.

And that's only because Doom genocided everyone else that might persecute or genocide someone.

>>88614060
It has more to do with Ellis not really liking Spider-Man. I think he showed his dislike of the character in a Wizard interview and some other places. In some way I think his dislike is similar to Tucker Stone's dislike of Spider-Man, which is funny since Tucker Stone doesn't seem to think much of Ellis.

still better then nu-marvel now newer 2.1

>>88619673
Exactly. At most he would've written it off as dermatitis because, ya know, spider bite, plus radiation.
What's always bugged me is if the disease is so contagions, why is Sheldon being allowed to run around like typhoid Larry chatting up all and sundry?

The opposite, actually. It was only supposed to be a single issue what if? that then got blown out into two extra-sized issues.

What exactly happened to Captain America here? They show the shield falling from the Avenger's explosion, but don't even mention him? He seems oddly important to be missing from here, especially considering how there's even a Bucky.

Now that one's decent. In-character versions and nice twist ending.

>>Kal-El's spaceship crash-lands in downtown Metropolis, causing widespread property damage. Upon opening, baby Kal-El is extracted by the military, spreading alien pathogens that kill everyone in Metropolis and contaminate the water supply, crippling the economy of half the United States. Kal-El is then placed in government custody for study.

Man it's weird to read this now in light of Flashpoint and Waid suggesting that Kal-El should be raised in a city.

Yeah, ruins is not realistic, it's just a dark joke version of Marvels. It' not meant to be deep.

>>88613789
The thing is, Ellis can Ennis just as well as Ennis, he just mostly doesn't. But quite a few of his works are just as dark and just as humourously dark.
For instance, Blackgas is Crossed, but came out a couple years before.

>>88626832
good, there's your "Ruins of the DC universe"

waid rewrites everyone's backstory in champions mode.

No he doesn't. He hates Harras.

Meh, the KC method doesn't work well with Marvel.

>>88626980
Why wouldn't they be? In-universe the FF would be huge celebrities, too.

>>88612621
Nothing realistic about this. You should have said "What if Marvel was set in a shit hole?"

>>88612621
i will always like the gritty art in this, but overall i like marvels and earth x better, i know earth x has more of a plotline in contrast to ruins wich is just a tour basically but i feel the despair in that book is more balanced, never read any of the sequels tho, no JPL no buy

>>88626849
Ellis can Ennis, but can Ennis Ellis?

Do yourself a favor and don't.

>>88623052

Mar-Vell is channeling Howard the Duck just fine.

>>88614060
Peter was always an asshole.

>>88612621
I don't think the concept of Ruins is bad, but it's very clear that it was written as an edgy parody of Marvels, and it ultimately suffered because of it

>>88613088
one day i hope we get more comics about super hero porn industry

>>88613735
Does Ellis hate the X-Men as much as Ennis or something?

>>88613088
>corps

>>88625848
Whatever it is, you can guess how the characters die in there.

>Billionaire found barely alive after slipping off a building in a bat costume

Batman, Flash and Aquaman's pretty much the easiest. Not sure what to do with the aliens. Plus there's the vertigo guys

>>88614163
Haven't read this in a long time. Thanks OP.

Gotta say out of everything, my favorite has to be the Hulk page.

>>88612875
do you think we would actually nuke if an alien fleet dropped out of orbit without even communicating after a few minutes?

>>88629428
Ellis loves Kitty Pryde. Every other X-man is just unfairly stealing panel time from Kitty.

>>88630202
Yeah, but what about his daughter?

>>88628235

What's the DC version?

Watchmen?

>>88629906
Constantine nothing changes.

>>88630452
Nah, he could be a con man, or if the paranormal exists, he'd be possessed, or rendered insane.

>>88629428

Maybe not. He wrote some issues from Astonishing after Whedon left, plus he wrote a mini which had the X-Men dealing with mutant babies in Africa and Mad Jim Jaspers and some stuff for the X-Force title.

He also used Beast during his time in Secret Avengers.

The purpose is to be edgy as fuck, right?

>Kal-El's spaceship crash-lands in downtown Metropolis, causing mass casualties. Baby Kal-El is extracted by the military, spreading alien pathogens that kill everyone in Metropolis and contaminate the water supply, crippling the economy of half the United States. Kal-El is then placed in government custody for experimentation and experiences years of unspeakable torture as his entire body is harvested, to the point where he's reduced to a vegetable longing for death.

>Young Bruce Wayne experiences a nervous breakdown after his parents's murder and is placed in a psychiatric hospital where he is repetedly mistreated, while Alfred embezzles the Wayne fortune and wastes nearly all of it in poor investments. An adult Bruce later breaks out of the psychiatric ward, dresses as a bat-man, and goes on a killing spree before being fatally shot by Jim Gordon during a standoff in which Gordon himself is mortally wounded and dies.

>Barry Allen is gruesomely carbonized by the lightning strike, and the electrific chemicals kill nearly everyone in the Central City Police Station, leading to mass riots and a sharp spike in criminal activity that forces the government to declare it a No Man's Land.

>Aquaman is born a horribly deformed mutant due to the poor blend of genetics between humans and atlanteans. He is exiled by the Atlanteans at his biological father's doorstep and his father then makes him into a sideshow freak paraded around the country.

>Martian Manhunter and Abin Sur are captured alongside Kal-El and subjected to torture. J'onn later commits suicide, in the process accidentally firing a telepathic blast that wipes out everyone in a 50 miles radius, while Abin Sur's power ring is reverse-engineered to create a weapon that malfunctions and wipes out Coast City during a military confrontation with Khandaqian invaders. By that point Hal Jordan had long died in a plane crash.

>>88614135
this was legitimately terrible

>>88630744
Yes. Yes, it is.

>>88630739
WE HAVE TO GO EDGIER

>"Teen Titans" is an underground teenage pornography ring. Kyle Rayner is their creepy "costume designer".

>The "Justice Society" was an extremist 1940's government-sanctioned kill squad, and their children and grandchildren form a KKK-esque anti-crime and anti-alien movement that employs lethal force and threatens to topple the government.

>The "Wizard" is a hustler that targets street orphans like Billy Batson to be drug runners.

>Zatanna runs a seedy "magic" sex show.

>Lex Luthor uses his corporate contacts to position himself as "President" of the free world.

>>88630866
Sounds like Alan Moore writing a sequel to Lost Girls

>>88630866
Are we sure that these aren't already things in the Boys?

>>88629268
>edgy parody of Marvels
But that's literally what the concept of Ruins IS.

>>88630866
That Luthor part already sounds plausible in the main DC worlds.

>>88630965

I'm sure the Teen Titans and Zatanna ones did happen in The Boys, except it was the X-Men and Dr. Strange's knockoffs that those scenarios happened.

>>88630965
This. Garth Ennis already told it.
