About the series
In this two-issue Marvel miniseries from 1995, writer Warren Ellis and artists Cliff Nielsen and Terese Nielsen present a dark, alternate-reality exploration of the Marvel Universe. The story twists familiar heroes and concepts into grim, broken versions of themselves, asking what might have gone wrong in a world where hope and heroism failed. A stark, unsettling counterpoint to the era's mainstream superheroics, Ruins stands as a bleak, thought-provoking what-if that lingers long after the final page.
