What does /co/ think of Ruins?

Marvels > Ruins.

Yeah it's a parody but i've already seen the 'what if' scenarios so many time when heroes are mutated, deformed, bastardized.

I, too, have seen f4ntastic and BvS
>>
>>81955050
maybe read a comic book for once you casual.
>>
It's legit terrible. Super fucking bad.
>>
>>81954981
Arguably the worst comic Ellis has ever written.
>>
>>81955167
I only read scans on tumblr
>>
>>81954981
It was literally what if Murphy's Law took place all at once, so much so that the book was terrible too.
>>
>>81955167
I prefer to enjoy my capeshit via audiobook form, the true and purest form of "comic book"
>>
>>81955028
Isn't this kind of Ennis in a nutshell? At least at this point?

We've already seen every conceivable take on "superheroes are actually bad/shitty". It's no longer edgy and provocative, it's just trite.

>>81954981
I liked it a lot. It was hilariously bleak and depressing to the point of absurdity.
>>
>>81955506
Ruins is Ellis
>>
>>81955605
Oh, fuck, you're right.

Well, shit, then I'm even MORE disappointed. Even when Ellis phones it in he's usually more creative and clever than this.
>>
>>81954981
Really bad. The book wasn't funny enough to be a parody, wasn't insightfuly enough to be a criticism. It just ended up being a relatively well drawn piece of College Humour.
>>
>>81954981
Shock for sake of shock. Tumor Hulk, Captain Cannibal, whore Jean, Lady Python fucking snakes, Ghost Rider being fucking insane guy... Eh.
>>
>>81955434
Giant stone tablets written in Sanskrit, casual.
>>
>>81955681
Even Ellis hates this book. He's practically disowned it.
