☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Ruins Book One: Men on Fire" delivers a haunting, character-driven journey through a fractured world, as writer Warren Ellis and artists Cliff Nielsen, Terese Nielsen, and Chris Moeller paint a stark portrait of loss and legacy. Phil, a researcher documenting the universe’s decline, encounters a mutant prison under the Kingpin’s control, witnesses the fiery end of stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze, and speaks with Ben Grimm, haunted by a shuttle mission he couldn’t bring himself to fly. The story’s emotional weight is matched by its striking visuals—each page layered with moody color and precise inking—culminating in a quiet, devastating end as Phil’s own past catches up to him. Cover by Cliff Nielsen and Terese Nielsen.
In *Ruins Book One: Men on Fire*, Phil Sheldon—a man with little time left—sets out to uncover the truth behind the collapse of a world once teeming with superpowered beings, now reduced to a scorched, mutated wasteland. Through haunting interviews with the enigmatic Kree POW Mar-Vell, the disillusioned soldier Fury, and the paranoid conspiracy theorist Rick Jones, he pieces together fragments of a past that may hold the key to understanding how it all went wrong.
In *Ruins Book Two: Women in Flight*, Phil presses on with his haunting investigation into a universe undone, tracking down echoes of lost glory in unexpected places—visiting a mutant prison under the Kingpin’s control, witnessing the fiery end of stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze, and speaking with Ben Grimm, whose grief over a shuttle mission he couldn’t prevent still weighs heavy. As the radiation from Peter Parker’s final photos begins to take its toll, Phil races against time to finish his book, unsure if the truth he’s uncovering is a warning or a farewell.
