THE SILVER SURFER FIGHTS ALONE! The SILVER SURFER, hated and feared by the very humans his heart longs to aid, duels an array of rivals hell-bent on his utter annihilation! But in their hubris and greed for untapped power, humanity awakens an ancient threat borne of Surfer's old master, GALACTUS, and so Surfer must persist for the sake of both friend and foe…for the good of Earth and the entire universe!
A visual display of power! I've seen a lot of comments on the art for this run and I agree, it's fantastic! Issue 2 brings intense action, intriguing character moments, and some big terrifying images. The Silver Surfers plight to do good in the face of ungrateful people is a familiar theme, but a good transition into what will be coming when Galactus awakens. I'm loving Kelly Koh's journey and I'm even more curious as to the endgame of B.A.N. Read Full Review
Death of the Silver Surfer #2 has tight pacing with emotional resonance, expertly paced by Pak. Sumit Kumar and DArmata create strong visual cohesion between grounded pain and cosmic scale. Plus, themes of mistrust, redemption, and cosmic duty give the story real weight. Issue #1s reflection-heavy tone makes Death of the Silver Surfer #2 feel more action-forwardpotentially jarring for readers expecting quieter scenes. The Galactic threat is heavy-handed and its meaning hinges on reveal pacing in upcoming issues. Death of the Silver Surfer #2 delivers a compelling follow-up to the poetic opener. Greg Pak deepens the stakesnarrative, emotional, and cosmicwhile Sumit Kumars art conveys both heart and spectacle. Its a premature crisis, sure, but one that feels earned, not forced. If issue #3 sustains the tension and reveals the Galactus fragments true nature, this miniseries could end up being one of Marvels most profound cosmic sagas this year. Read Full Review
Death of the Silver Surfer #2 is a beautifully crafted cosmic parable, balancing introspection, action, and mounting dread as it pits selflessness against unchecked greed, reminding us why Silver Surfer remains one of Marvel's most tragic and noble figures. Read Full Review
Death of the Silver Surfer #2 is a visually striking comic that unfortunately drowns its imaginative cosmic tale in a deluge of heavy-handed social commentary. While the art truly shines, delivering stunning cosmic vistas and dynamic action, the narrative's lack of subtlety regarding xenophobia and immigration makes it a difficult read. The characters, particularly those within the Bureau of Alien Neutralization, feel like mouthpieces for political arguments rather than organic individuals. Despite its visual triumphs and imaginative scope, the issue stumbles in its execution of deeper themes, leading to a mixed bag of cosmic wonder and clunky allegories. Read Full Review
I want to like this more than I do. I always hate when interior art is such a huge drop off from cover art. I've always been of the opinion that the interior artist should do cover A and the cover specialists can do the variant covers, but I know that's not the best business strategy. Still feels like false advertising. There were also a couple scenes that just didn't feel well-written. The apple scene in particular, it was an abrupt and unearned 180 from the kid going from grateful and in awe to "go away you freak" just because SS ... stopped bullets and possibly saved his life. This isn't an uncommon trope, but it's lazy writing in my opinion (and I know Greg Pak can do much better.) The overall plot still has my interest though anmore
Didn't we buy it for the cover?
