Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Problem is, there probably isn't any rebuilding again or at least not to the level of technology that we are currently at. The main reasoning for that is all of the easy to get to resources like metals and fossil fuels have already been used up. So if this doesn't work out and another potentially intelligent species comes along it's going to be even harder than we had it getting things started.
I mean, good. Intelligent life as it appears on Earth is horrific beyond words.
.........I feel like you totally missed the point. Destroy all humans. Humans are now extinct. Erase their effects on the planet. And rebuild the ecosystem with species that are healthy for the planet.
Humans make the mistake of thinking that they are the most important thing in existence, and the world would end without them. This planet has survived countless exinctions of species in the past. It'll survive just as well without us.
The planet would survive, sure, but why should we care that it does without us? Meaning is something that we invented, without someone to assign it, an ecosystem is little more valuable than a rock.
animals experience meaning. they don't like to die.
Coal ain't coming back. The Carboniferous isn't going to happen again because the mycological consciousness knows how to deal with lignin already.
Replacing the oil I know less about, but it would take millions of years to replace what we've burnt/processed if it was produced at historical rates.
