Surfer (2/2):

I'm not a fan of the art but in other respects is Silver Surfer Black good?

I've really liked it for the most part. It's one of the better Surfer reads IMO. Writers can have a hard time pacing a Surfer story properly so they normally fall short on showcasing either the character's power or mindset, but Black seems to do a job of maintaining that balance.

I loathe the art.

But like goob said: it's a good story.

The one above is the best issue yet. The rest are...eh. It's like the writer is trying to match the art [i.e. 'artistic' vibe to his script], but not really managing it. Imagine Rob Liefeld trying to be J. M. DeMatteis. Then again, that's imo.

You know they're so rare, it seems kinda odd for Surfer to already be pulling off another decent strength feat. I mean right before the series started he one arm chunked all those other people out of the blackhole, now we have him hauling G's incubator right up to the white dwarf and then throwing it away. These obviously aren't insane or unbeatable feats by any stretch of the imagination, but a character like Surfer who seldom has actual feats of strength that are in anyway quantifiable they're pretty solid.

It's okay, because Heartforce Ben is about to beat the shit out of him...

Donny Cates is like a redux version of every writer famous for a character, Starlin redux for Thanos, Hickman redux for the Maker, Dematteis for Surfer etc. Its laughable actually.

The Greg Land of writers.

Yep, Scott Snyder of marvel.

Is Aaron trying to redeem his nonsense? That was good

Am I the only one who thinks Scott Snyder is amazing?

I've warmed up to him, too. I got that awful 'Morrison, but on a budget' vibe for a while, but at a certain point I accepted it.

I mean, other than Morrison and Hickman, he's probably the best right now of what I'm reading.
