Intriguing...wonder what the HE's roll is. Perhaps he strips the Power Cosmic from Norrin...can't think of any other reason why he'd be there.

that b good

2nd time Big G and High E will meet possibly

Galan007
In the recent IM/Thor issue, High Evo stated that he planned to use Tony as the raw materials through which he will build a "God fit for the 21st century":

So maybe Surfer will be a part of that..?

Bouboumaster
I'm scared as hell to find out what HE will do to Galactus. Because, we all know what will happen: Galactus will be take in come cluster****, and Surfer will have to save him.

Colossus-Big C
they will clash again!!

So maybe Surfer will be a part of that..? maybe surfer will be a part of high evolutionarys plan and galactus would intervene to stop him and they fight in a epic battle

H.E was running scare of Ultron forces a while back IIRC. H.E seriously need a upgrade or better showing.

I sure hope not. The whole "stripping powers from the cosmics" thing has been done to the death. And I also don't want to read another story in which Galactus falls prey to the schemes of this or that guy, and must be saved before the universe is destroyed, etc. I hope Pak only brings in Galactus to resolve the conflict, and perhaps even shaking up the status quo with his actions--reestablishing the fact that Galactus is the last guy in the universe anybody would want to mess with.

i hope this leads to a decent ongoing

Interesting, but I'm still sure that there will be a ****ed up with Big G.
On one hand, he gives him the respect when he made Galactus pwn Rulk.
On the other hand, he made him like totally useless against the Chaos King. Wtf.

any previews for this event yet?
and does this follow the iron man/thor issues

No. It springs from Chaos War.

It seems that it will be about the High Evolutionary somehow getting Galactus's powers. It seems they want to bring him back from jobberville.

Typical Pak.

Maybe he'll get them... Doing something unrelated to big G...


Right? ermm

Rage.Of.Olympus
Again? Give the poor guy a break. I'm surprised Galactus hasn't locked himself in his room, to frightened to go out into the big bad Universe.

Sr J-Bieb
Galactus had an impressive streak going, looks like Pak wants to tear that down.

HE will probably use a regular vacuum to acquire the powers.

Bentley
Galan somewhat survived Chaos War and got jobbed to Hulk's sun with a plot device. Hopefully this showing is plotty devicey enoug...

Skaar making him mad for the Old Power.
Hiro poisoning him.
Whatever Chaos War was.
And We're about to see a goodin with Surfer's new mini.

You can bet we're about to see some half assed writing here. HE might catch Galactus when he's having a nap. Who knows?

At least Pak seems to like Surfer though.

Bentley
I was thinking exactly the same thing laughing out loud

"Ok, all the bad showings I can think of were Pak books"

Coincidence?

Well, here are some preview pages before it's release this wed.

Takes place directly after the debacle that is chaos war

http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/114/1149244/silver-surfer-vol-5-20110211015457139.jpg

Galactus laid out by expending the PC to open and maintain the portal against Mikaboshi during Chaos War

http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/114/1149244/silver-surfer-vol-5-20110211015459123.jpg

This part surprised me. No real story telling implications but unexpected nonetheless

http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/114/1149244/silver-surfer-vol-5-20110211015501123.jpg
SS leads Galactus to feed on Sol, our solar system's sun. Earth wouldn't have been enough.

If HE is in any way supposed to be on the level of a celestial (which all evidence contradict, the Celestials was "scared" of HE's work because it interfered with their own), what level do you then think Galactus is supposed to operate on?

High Evolutionary is such a boring character. I hope he isn't the main focus.

Honestly, I think he's just trying to convey that Surfer could end most of the everyday strife/conflict on the planet, but the guy does have a record of glorifying who's he's handling at the time to be the greatest thing ever...

Did Surfer just get his powers drained, again? The dude is so vulnerable to his powers/energy being drained it's crazy.

mhmm Didn't even notice that when I first read it. I thought it was in the context of human conflicts etc.

IIRC, Surfer was an afterthought to Zeus in Chaos War. True, he was amped -slightly- by Mikaboshi, but if the two ever fought under Pak's pen, I doubt Surfer will do noticeably better than Hulk unless he gets really exotic.

I think the idea is that now Surfer can solve the conflicts by taking care of the problems that provokes war, personal conflict etc, he can solve them as I read it partly because of his knowledge. But yeah there is also the possibility that he means that Surfer could beat Zeus, I just find that very unlikely.

But no, I don't think Pak was in any way suggesting that SS was somehow > Zeus.

dmills
I concur. But Pak does love the cosmic characters so you never know. From reading some of his interviews he seems to view cosmic/spaced based characters as a step up from planetary characters. At least that's what I got from it.

Depends on the depiction. Some times his an energy being inside a Silver shell, and some times his a humanoid with a Silver coating of skin.

Either way, I hope for his sake Thor never uses his head when matching up against him.

Yep, what is more humilliating that getting koed by Thor's headbutt?

Hmm just came to think of that maybe the HE should consider moving, taking into consideration how well Galactus normally react to those damaging his heralds or stealing their power.

Heh, I think a distinction needs to be made between when a person tries to simply deplete surfers energy reserves ala quasar, and when a person tries to take surfers actual powers away ala dr doom technology ( I.e his very ability to draw on and manipulate the ambient energies of the universe). This situation wizth h.e definitely seems to be the latter, something thor is certainly not capable of replicating. Moreover surfer has been shown to resist and overcome these type of draining attempts as well.

Rage.Of.Olympus
True, there is a distinction. Will see next issue.

Still, Thor wanking aside, his still pretty vulnerable to these tactics.

Anyway, HE can devolve quite a lot of things. I'm not surprised to see him devolve Surfer while holding him in place. Hope we get a fight out of these two later on.
And Galactus staying the shit away... but it's Pak, so...

Why so serious? I didn't know I had such a big apartment in your head. I was joking; you can keep commenting to my posts as much as you want bud.

Trolling? Lawlz, I tossed in a Thor comment that you latched on.

Where did it say he was devolved? Evolutionary seemed to have just taken his powers away. Which is what I believe Pak said happened in the interview on CBR.

Rage.Of.Olympus
The latest issue kind of shits on Galactus. It confirmed he could feed on Stars. So why the **** does he feed on planets when Stars provide far more energy and are more plentiful?

The entire "beyond good and evil" shit doesn't fly anymore. Galactus is a genocidal monster. He needs to be put down.

Almost every post of yours is a Thor comment. And when you say Thor using his head against Surfer in a comic thread about only Surfer, well...

Comic's called "Devolution". And it being HE's power... you know, not hard to figure out.

Ah, the irony.

A sentence with Thor as one of the focuses at the bottom of a post hardly qualifies as trolling. No one gives a shit. I don't give a shit. You're the one who latched on to it.

What a spacious room.

We'll see next issue. It didn't seem like devolution. It seemed like he robbed Surfer of his power and that's what Fraction said in his interview a few days ago. I don't remember devolving used as an explanation.

The entire "beyond good and evil" shit doesn't fly anymore. Galactus is a genocidal monster. He needs to be put down. Because Planets have much more BSE(Bio-spheric energy) then stars. I'd imagine stars give him energy because they are well....stars. But galactus feeds mostly on BSE.

Rage.Of.Olympus
Did you read the issue? Galactus was so weakened planet(s) wouldn't be able to satiate him so he feed on a Star instead which has much more energy.

Clearly the Bio energy is just a formality at this point. Unless some side effects or such are introduced, Galactus is a mass murderer.

There's an alternate choice to feeding on populated planets apparently.

Galactus could only eat certain planets, and he needed special equipment to convert the energy into something he could metabolize originally. That made sense.

Arguably Surfer wasn't choosing between Galactus eating planets or suns, he was choosing between Sol and Earth. I agree that the reason "a simple planet wouldn't be enough", it's stupid, but it also means that Galan was dying (he only needs to eat one planet each month). About the genocide, you may as well blame the heralds, Galactus is an abstract, he responds to the cosmic consonance, he's all about keeping balance in the universe and when it comes to the universe killing planets <<< killing stars.

He feeds on planets that have the potential to support life (by extension, a populated planet obviously has that capability), so don't have any assumptions that he feeds on populated planets exclusively.

And it's absolutely false to think that he requires the machines to absorb the energy. The machines make consumption more efficient: with the elemental converter Galactus does not need to use his own energy to transmute the planet into consumable energy. It's like running 20 blocks to the restaurant when you're already fatigued from hunger. Why run when you can take a car or bus?

This whole distinction between stars and habitable planets seems to be a farce quite frankly.

The simple answer is that consumption of planets makes for a more compelling story as opposed to some having a semi-abstract being be even more detached from the reader by consuming stars instead of planets. Characters wouldn't interact with Galactus at all unless they had the capabililty to fly in extreme proximity to the Sun. How many people can do that on earth? Exactly. Boring story.

No-prize answer: Stars are fundamentally important to the formation of carbon, which all known life (or almost all known life) is comprised of. No stars, no carbon atoms, no carbon atoms, no life forms. The ramifications of eliminating a single planet are infinitely smaller than the ramifications of depleting a star to a white dwarf (what happens when stars burn out their fuel) which then transition into black holes.

I'm sure there's much more complexity than that but that's only what i recall from Astronomy class, taken over 10 years ago.

Now that's dealt with, Pak seems to be tieing into a few other HE stories, like DnA's Thor/Iron Man and HE's stint in X-Men.

I'm actually just as curious to see what HE is up to as I am looking forward to reading an SS tale.

I don't have that assumption. I know he can choose to feed on planets that can potentially support life but he seems to feed on populated planets far more often from what I've seen.

I'm pretty sure that Galactus not needing equipment was something introduced later on. Possibly the Surfer's run? I forget.

I know it makes a boring story, but showing that he can feed on Stars (I believe only a vague reference was made to in Secret Wars in the past) just detracts from the character. It shows that he does have a choice. He can choose to feed on Stars. They are plentiful and possess far more energy.

Instead of killing a planet full of populated beings, he could stop by some Star with no life around it.

I think it's just a bad step for the character. With this development, I'd classify him as a genocidal villain.

He doesn't have to deplete the Stars of their fuels completely. He was severely weakened and planets wouldn't satiate him, so he drained our Sun of the energy he needed. Granted, it took a billion years from the Sun's life, but it didn't drain it completely. Not even close.

Stopping by some Red Giant every now and then, taking a few years of it's fuel would save a lot of lives.

Bentley
But potentially kill future lives, Galactus means balance, and to be fair, the civilization he destroys are more chaos agents than balance in the universe. Bottomline, the stars are way more important when it comes to enthropy than the planets.

vince_slice
You can't really attribute Galactus to be good or evil. That's like saying a lion is evil because he hunts and eats baby deer. Organisms consuming other organisms is a part of nature, just like how Galactus is a force of nature in Marvel. The only difference between Galactus and the lion is that Galactus does it on a planetary scale. He eats planets out of necessity, just like the lion eats the deer out of necessity. Killing for food is part of their nature. You shouldn't attribute morality to something inherent in nature, doing so would commit a naturalistic fallacy.

Do you feel bad whenever you eat an apple? Most foods like apples have millions (perhaps billions) of bacteria life on it. Before we eat something like an apple we clean it, actively committing "genocide" on all that bacteria life before we consume the apple. I doubt people feel bad when they do that, and this probably goes the same for Galactus when he eats a planet.

But the interesting thing about Galactus is he use to be mortal, and from time to time his mortal nature (e.g. empathy, morality, emotions etc) come out, like in Godhunter. So I find that interesting whenever something like that happens.

This Pak seems like an awful writer judging by what many say on this thread.

I always thought Galactus was a cosmic being with virtually unlimited powers.

This writer has made him lose to lots of characters?

If Galactus is million times more powerful than Silver Surfer and Galactus gets beat by characters at Silver Surfer level, where does that put Silver Surfer at? Cyclops level?

Now I know what PIS stands for (plot induced stupidity), I see it is rampant and this Pak seems one of main ones responsible.

EVOLUTION REVELATION! The Silver Surfer has always served the greater good, but with Galactus' world-eating power at his fingertips, the High Evolutionary has his own ideas about the cosmic balance.

A humbled Surfer will have to choose sides, and if he chooses poorly, the Earth is lost! The High Evolutionary's grand design is revealed in the continuation of the greatest cosmic tale ever told right here at home!
