Galactus: The Ultimate Hunger was a limited series event in which Galactus was finally killed off, as well as a beloved Marvel superhero with him.

Issue 1: The Hunger Begins
Galactus is wandering the universe when he comes across Ego the Living Planet. Ego is terrified, and Galactus says he always wanted to devour the living planet. Galactus consumes Ego, but Ego's life force increases the power of Galactus, as it turns out that an ancient race of super-powered aliens called Evlons had been hiding out on the surface of Ego. Galactus proceeds to destroy every other planet surrounding Ego, and decides to finally consume the Earth after all those years of trying.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Tony Stark is working on a new Iron Man armor when he hears a commotion outside. He sees people protesting against Stark Industries because a worker died on the job recently, but Stark knew nothing of it. He asks Pepper about it, and she tells him she thought he knew already. Pepper reveals she already told everybody he knew about it, and now people must think that Stark just doesn't care. People begin boycotting everything from Stark Industries, and Stark becomes nationally hated.

At the Baxter Building, Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm are playing cards when Reed tells them there is an emergency. Reed says that Galactus may be heading for Earth again, but Johnny and Ben aren't worried as they always defeat Galactus when he tries to eat Earth. Reed reveals that his power has increased tremendously, making Galactus nearly omnipotent. Johnny says Reed knows too much, and transforms into a Skrull. Ben is shocked, but the Skrull blasts Ben with a beam of cosmic energy that sends him flying. The Skrull reveals that it is Ll'ejeet, a herald of Galactus. Ll'ejeet reveals he led Galactus to Earth, as well as the rest of the Skrull Empire. Reed blasts Ll'ejeet with the Ultimate Nullifier as he's talking, killing Ll'ejeet. Ll'ejeet's last words are "Long Live the Skrulls."
