"Murder" does not properly characterize what happened in that sequence... weren't they defending themselves?
Honestly, that really wasn't a point I fairly considered. I mean, if the Galactus of Earth-2012 really were on the verge of victory, would even our Reed have been willing to use an ultimate nullifier on him? I think that could be an open question. Yes, I realize that Reed is someone who always thinks there's another option, but what if his back were to the wall and time had run out?

That said, if that's what Hickman was up to in that scene, it seems like something that Reed would have had to deal with after the fact, but we got none of that in the story....
