Silver Surfer Appreciation 2022

[Galan]

Darkseid. Generally I think the Surfer would do well interacting with Kirby's New Gods, and an uneasy alliance with the more warlike Orion would be a great dynamic to work with.

It's quite easy to imagine Norinn in Starlin's Cosmic Odyssey, or as a guest-star in the classic Great Darkness Saga.

I agree, that's why Byrne's Darkseid/Galactus crossover worked so well.

Starlin on some level despises the Surfer. Marz' Surfer is basically Starlin's surfer minus the disdain.

Issue #2 was a good read. I like how for the most part Norrin and Thanos actually discussed the situation without there being a 10pg fight and 4 panels of rushed exposition to explain the matter.

So Jack of Hearts is being manipulated. We get him here in a "lost tale" story and he's just recently shown up in....I think the new She-Hulk book?

I read the ideas behind who the big bad may be and it'll be interesting if it is him. Especially if the cover to issue #5(which I've not looked up) is correct OR that character is also being manipulated by whomever the big bad truly will be.

Dude on the cover #5 is not manipulatable.

In addition to his mini, the Surfer can also be found in The Thing #4 and Fantastic Four #40-41.

I assume this is happening somewhere between the end of his mini series from the 80's where he leaves to travel space and his appearances in the Quasar series in the 90s where he was a prisoner of The Stranger. It has to be after Infinity Gauntlet, but seems to be before War, so that also fits that time frame.

[Darkshadow]

Well straight up, the bad guy is Tyrant. Sorry to spoil if someone hasn't already spoiled it for themselves. So the mini takes place after Tyrant's creation, and before the fight that ended Tyrant. Basically late SS vol 3 in the realm of 80 to 100.

[Cronus]

is Norrin completely free from Galactus again? He can do what he wants? What happened with that fight with Knull?

As far as I can tell, yes. Norrin no longer serves Galactus. The Knull fight was...weird? He broke out the enigma force which, among other things, cured him back to his silvery self.

Really? May I ask why you feel this way? Just curious...

Nice. Worth a read?

LOL! Whatever the timeline, I'm just glad Jack of Hearts is wearing his OG costume (XD)

Silver Surfer Rebirth #3 came out today. What do you think?

Silver Surfer Rebirth #3 came out today. What do you think?

Nice art, but I read it in 5 minutes. Not what I was looking forward to.

Silver Surfer Rebirth #3 came out today. What do you think?

Mmm, I gather Marz is waiting until the last issue to spring upon us in what way the Silver Surfer will be reborn, lol?

I mean, at this point we know that spoilers:

1) Tyrant has the reality gem, 2) Thanos has taken issue with it and enlisted the Silver Surfer's aid in recovering it, 3) Mar-Vell was brought back only to be slaughtered by Thanos, 4) Nebula has been brought back, 5) the Jack of Hearts is back to serve as an agent for Tyrant. We also know Jack of Hearts will appear in the April and May issue of Fantastic Four (2022).

end of spoilers...how do we anticipate this will resolve?

Anyone have any theories?

That is about 75% of monthly comics today. They are writing long form for the trade.

However, issue #3 was good and I enjoyed the Thanos/Nebula moments.
I know this takes place during SS vol.3 but I don't recall SS once again becoming Galactus' herald of his own free will. I'm guessing faulty memory on me cause that would be a big continuity error.
They are drawing out the Jack of Hearts confrontation, he was only on two pages. I guess next issue he gets his due.

[Cronus]

It's about to go down!



Silver Surfer Rebirth #4.

Get'em while they're hot!
