i just bought issue #1 yesterday, i really liked it its moving and all, but somethings didn´t made sense to me, for example when reed is saying how surfer is going to die he says that his heart and lungs will stop working, so what? he doens´t breath, technically he shouldn´t even have a hear or lungs he should be made of cosmic energy, but thats what i think (we all have seen him bleed before)
The simplest answer to this would be that different writers have different interpretations of what they believe SS' makeup is. Some have written him as flesh and blood beneath, but have have written that his skin is merely a shell. In any case, in this we simply have to assume that JMS went with the flesh and blood version, something that makes vague sense seeing how SS was created in his creation appearance.
Anyway, no matter which way he chose to do it, there would be believers of the other version questioning that call. This is one of the classiest comics I have read in a long time. Both issues one and two hit the nail on the head for characterisation. The F4 and Spiderman were played to perfection, and SS is written as he always should be-- philosophical, pacifist and basically space Jesus. The dialogue may seem self-absorbed at times, but it has certain great lines. Spiderman's thought train towards the end: "How sad that his voice was heard so little, when he had so much to say" epitomised the series thus far, and its portrayal of SS.
Great read thus far. I only hope they don't screw up the final ending, seeing if this is in continuity, SS survives.
