The part I loved the most was the one that describes The Origins of Galactus.
If you know not, Galactus was - is - the most powerful character in the Marvel universe.
We always wonder, why is it that he must eat entire planets and destroy civilization to 'sustain himself' and his hunger? Sure, he has that amazing Power Cosmic to feed with, but WHY must he be eating and destroying so much, instead of creating?
It also describes how Galactus comes to be what he is.
What was funny was comparing Galactus, a fictional character, to The God (real one). In the Qur'an, God said that he never rests , sleeps, drinks or eats. He doesn't need to. I am SO glad that Galactus is never God. He is, after all, still a human. No way can a human be a 'star-god', or else this will happen (where he eats planets).
If you're interested in Galactus, I suggest you get it.
