Galactus vs The Celestials...

I don't get why Galactus was so worried about being the sole survivor of the universe when both he and Franklin are godlike beings capable of easily creating plenty of other lifeforms to keep them company. Someone on another board also mentioned that Mr. Immortal, aside from Big G and Frank, is supposedly destined to be another survivor.

I think it would be a bit cruel on their parts just to create life solely for the purpose of dying just so they wouldn't be alone. I mean, Galactus is arrogant, sometimes petty and harsh, but I can't imagine him doing something like that. And Franklin is a nice guy so same goes for him...

But you are right in that there will probably be others alive as well. Pretty much all high end reality/matter/energy manipulators could potentially live till the end, but I guess the logic is that there's also a lot in the MU that can kill you, even if you're nearly immortal, and a lot of time for it to do it before the death of the universe...

excellent point

For those interested, J. Hickman recently clarified a mystery (on the Formspring site) that myself and others had been long debating on this thread. Looks like I was right all along. Kudos to Hickman for being clear in his response this time.

A formspring user asks:

"Hi , just wanted to ask that in your recent awesome run in the 604th issue of Fantastic Four, did Galactus opening his palms to reveal adult Franklin Richards signify that Galactus had resurrected the dead adult Franklin ? I am very confused."

And Hickman replied:

"He never died. They just thought he would."

Nice find. An equally good question would have been : Did Galactus die when the Voltron Celestial blasted him?

I was thinking of personally asking him if it was his intent to get across the notion that the Mad Celestials are equal to their 616 counterparts.

That would have been [the best] question, imo.

Yep. Just asked him (if he considers them to be equal) with my own account. I'll let you guys know if/when he responds.

waiting for hickman's response as well

"In what way? Power? Sure."

DoomFan99:

"Is Doom stronger than all the Celestials, Galactus, and Franklin Richards combined?"

Jonathan Hickman:

"Yes, he is also smarter than Reed by about a billion percent. Great question, friend."
