No prob, I just see this getting tossed around a lot in various forums for some reason. Marvel went the extra step to make sure that they show the reader that the city is evacuated, even has SHIELD scan the city using their telepaths to make sure nobody was left. The only people in the city were in the colosseum type structure that Hulk had built.
I also see the figure tossed about asking why the Earth wasn't destroyed when there were two planet buster level beings on it, and the simple answer is that neither one is a villain, neither one wanted to destroy the planet or it's people. There are plenty of fights both in DC and Marvel which have far less collateral damage for people who were rated at greater strength levels.
Examples includes PC Superman attacking Spectre as hard as he could and only causing a small crater in the ground (and this was when PC Superman was going to literally destroy the multiverse with his speed alone), Molecule Man attacking Beyonder with the power to slag several hundred million entire dimensions and not destroying their NYC dept, Anti-Monitor getting ripped apart by SupermanPrime, a Guardian exploding on SupermanPrime without even annihilating the city, etc. - the examples can go on and on.
Collateral damage is only something to give the fight meaning, and you will never see planet busting level attacks against the Earth on either mainstream comic company without some way to undo the damage, otherwise each company would put all of it's comics in jeapordy for one storyline. The only times such attacks have been illustrated is when there is some way to repair the damage, whether that be by skyfathers, Celestials, high level reality warpers, etc..
Also it's cool to have a civilized debate with someone for a change.
