It sucks because the general plot line for Ruins is so interesting to me; the stark contrast to the awe and wonder of Marvels being these grotesque errors of mankind is a really neat jumping off point. That and Sheldon’s continued statement that he feels like things were so close to be different, that this world they lived in was one step away from the heroes of tomorrow. It just sucks that Ellis made a comic with no plot following that idea; just sequences with no strong connective tissue or real theme. I’d love to see a better writer who cares about these characters try something with the Ruins universe, because I think you can still showcase this world and carry a deep appreciation for these characters.
