He was already horribly injured when he got killed. The majority of the damage coming from his own attack.
He was serious from the start yes, but using a very small portion of his strength as the comic made clear.Fact is, when he got serious, Armageddon ( as well as the rest of the planet and damaged a nearby moon)got vaporised via the shockwaves from an impact which happened hundreds of feet in the air.......he would thus have absolutely no chance of making past one direct blow from hulk when he stopped holding back, as that would be much much much much more powerful.
