Franco-Belgian comics were originally in the Dutch language but because of the strong influence of the froncophone, it was changed into French.
The difference between the former comics that was written in Dutch and the present comics, written in French, is that both have different "feels".
What separates Filipino comics from over comics around the globe is the input of the colorful Filipino culture which includes their simple way of living, traditions, and typical moral values.

 Celestials   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Fourth Celestial Host arrived in recent years in order to judge mankind's worthiness now that the dormant DNA complex for benevolent mutations had become activated by the worldwide increase in radiation levels.
The Celestials have returned to judge many of these worlds, and Earth is apparently the only one of these that they judged favorably and hence did not destroy for posing a potential menace to the universe.
Another indication of the Celestials' power is that when the Fourth Host left Earth, they eradicated all evidence of their recent and past presence from the minds and records of mortal men.

The exact purpose of the Celestials' genetic manipulation is unknown; however, they go to great lengths to preserve their freedom to conduct such experiments.
As a member of the Fourth Host of the Celestials, Nezarr appeared in the Soviet Union and was targeted by an atomic missile directed by General Greshkov.

 Dreaming Celestial
The Dreaming Celestial, who is also known as the Great Renegade, is a member of the enigmatic, virtually all-powerful extraterrestrial race known as the Celestials, who have conducted genetic experimentation with the dominant races of many planets, including Earth.
Possibly the Dreaming Celestial is the most powerful individual member of the Second Host, although it seems highly unlikely that his power exceeds that of such Celestials as Exitar, who dwarfs even Arishem in size and might.
After the Fourth Host of the Celestials arrived on Earth in recent years, Lord Ghaur, head of the Deviant priesthood, arranged for Deviant underlings of his to invade the Celestials' mothership and make a duplicate of the key.

 Celestial (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Celestials are a fictional group of extra-terrestrial beings in the Marvel Comics Universe.
What is known is that the Celestials are apparently responsible for the creation of two offshoots of humanity — the Eternals and the Deviants — on Earth over a million years ago.
The exact reason for the Celestials' genetic manipulation of proto-humans is unknown, although it is known that the Celestials conducted similar experiments on other races, such as the Skrulls.

 Watcher (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional Marvel Comics universe, the Watchers are an extraterrestrial species of near-omnipotent immortal beings who "watch" the universe with advanced technology.
Because the Celestial agenda is genetic engineering of younger species, it is in direct opposition to the Watcher agenda of non-interference.
As punishment for a Watcher's non-interference during the birth of Galactus, the Celestials forced the Watchers to observe the birth and death of their Celestial "eggs" all over the Universe.

Loki also went to his father and told him the truth that they are not gods but they are what they are because that is what humanity believes them to be, and if all of the world is destroyed then they too will cease to exist.
It appears that Loki was right and on his recommendation the Asgardians come to Earth to fight the Celestials, but is of little consequence because the Celestials quickly take out all of them except for Loki by making them believe that they are nothing, that they are already dead.
With the world safe from both Galactus and the Celestials, the threat of the Celestial growing inside the world taken away, and the Skull vanquished, the only thing left to do is to pick up the pieces.
