I think the only writers that have gotten him right in the last 25 years were Keith Giffen in Annihilation and DnA in Nova. When he broke loose in Annihilation he was total monster which is what he should be. In the Nova story right after that he pretty much just ignores Nova and goes about eating the world he was after.

I am just so tired of seeing modern writers always have to job Galactus to build up whatever universal threat of the week they are working on
