I could care less really about how Odin and Galactus stand next to one another. Under Lee/Kirby, Odin was at the least considered to be his equal. Some writers feel Galactus is truly an abstract in every sense of the word, others place him a bit lower on the totem pole. I'm sure Galactus will outright job in an upcoming event/arc, and I'm sure he'll perform some absurd cosmic level feat in the future too. That's how comics work.
But I do care about quality story telling and this is not it.

Galactus is more powerful but he isn't beyond Odin or anything of the sort. An all out attack from Odin knocked them both out. Galactus got up but he was injured and hungry apparently. Odin might have done the same but he wouldn't have had the strength to continue battle at that level. At least not for long.
It's one thing to say Galactus is above Odin, but saying they aren't even close? That's intellectual dishonesty.
I hope Fraction comments on the issue just to clarify his intentions. Us comic fans need everything spelled out for us because due to our inherent bias we can twist pretty much anything in favor of our preferred characters as Quan has demonstrated over the years.

A Surfer/Thor and Galactus/Odin confrontation basically writes itself.
I wonder how big of an impact Thor's wound will play in Fear Itself. Thanks to Loki it's not hurting or growing anymore but he couldn't have left it without having a purpose. Perhaps it plays a role in Thor's return from death or whatever.

An all out attack from odin which sealed his own doom. That's the only way he really sorta affected Galactus who just healed from it. That to me makes it perfectly clear Odin's best attacks can't beat Galactus so they are not peers as it wasn't close.

The comic made Odin look like an idiot too, which is unfortunate...
It was a shit fight in a shit arc. Let's not make excuses for either Odin or Galactus. This fight is nothing to brag about for either "side" unless you really want to push an Asgardian or Cosmic agenda, in which case, more power to you.
Worse, the characterization and dialogue was completely atrocious from beginning to end.

Even if he did heal himself from all the injuries he sustained, it clearly drained a large enough portion of his strength that he's tired/hungry so don't pretend like Odin's attack didn't have a noticeable impact on his person.
It's like you didn't even read the arc as stupid as it was. Whatever, we both have an agenda or inherent bias. I'm content however because if the average fan picks this up, I'm willing to bet they'll be seen as peers.

Odin's attack affected him just like Thanos' did. The art made it look worse than what it actually did. Galactus healing himself from all injuries makes it perfectly clear Odin's best which took Odin out didn't really do anything in the long run to stop Galactus.
Galactus>>Odin in power.

No, Galactus left when the seed was taken. Galactus>>>Odin and Thor's attacks which the comic clearly affirms.
Spoiler:
Galactus ran from the Destroyer. Also you can tell he ran because toward the end of the issue, he was FORCED into an uneasy truce with Asgard.
Overall, a horrible, horrible showing for Galactus.

First of all, lol, have you read some of his posts? Secondly, I can quote people supporting my stance as well.
Whatever you say Quan, I'm not going to waste my time with this. The simple fact that Galactus is willing to wait for something that he desperately wants says it all.
I'd bet dollars to donuts that if Thanos was Odin who was Galactus in this arc, you would be the first in line claiming that Odin is not more powerful than Thanos and that he's a huge coward for fleeing the battle field.
