Hmmm I am thinking Thanos won't curbstomp him but they will do more of a SS is powered up and Thanos needs to retreat to rethink how he handles SS. Gah SS is "powered" up again, great!
Well, we don't really know what kind of "upgrade" Surfer got. He has an immense amount of power to begin with, if Galactus were to simply remove his personal psychological restrictions, he would be a great force.
Also, who's to say Thanos and Surfer are going to fight anyways? Thanos has no allegience to Annihilus, he seems to be playing him actually, "allying" himself simply to extract a fee of Annihilus.
Also, a significant event for those Heralds of Galactus fans, Morg's dead.
So that puts Air-Walker, Morg and Nova underground.
Terrax is Annihilus' captive.
The Fallen One is under Thanos' thrall.
Firelord, Red Shift and Stardust have banded together.
Silver Surfer is again chilling with Galactus.
Yeah, right. Giffen's been operating in the industry and telling stories for decades now. I think he might know what he's doing a bit more than you do. All we've heard is what Galactus has said, we've really seen nothing of this new Surfer.
Pretty cool issue, I'm interested to see Surfer as Galactus' herald again, not sure how long it will last though. Can't wait to see exactly which side Thanos is on and what hes up too.
Thanos: Do not threaten me. I am not one of Lord Annihilus' drones.
Annihilus: Of course not...of course not.
