 Ruins (comics)

Ruins is a two-issue comic book miniseries, written by Warren Ellis with painted artwork by Terese Nielsen, her husband Cliff Nielsen, and Chris Moeller, who took over for the last 17 pages of the second issue.The series, conceived by Ellis as a parody of the "Marvels" series by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross, is set in a dystopian version of the Marvel Universe.Like "Marvels", the comic features reporter Phil Sheldon as the main character and was published in prestige format, with fully painted artwork and acetate covers, further creating the impression that it is a more twisted companion piece.
