Silver Surfer: In Thy Name

Our friend Norrin Radd got a new mini brought to you by Marvel.
The first issue(1 of 4) came out yesterday.

I thought it was a good read, and the art is awesome 🙂
But the ending kept me in suspense tho 😒
All in all it looks promising 😎

anyone else read it?

Nice, the cover art looks incredible.

I didn't care so much for the actual story -- but the art alone was enough to keep me coming back.

I picked it up. Thought the art was fantastic and the story was about on par with Norrin's average.

Quite poor. 🙁.

Michael Turner draws a great looking Surfer, on the cover.

But how does this jibe with the recent events of SS: Requiem?
It's not canon at all, then?

Requiem was non canon. I don't know if this story is.

That stuff was the madshit!

I hope he's going to meet up with some old Heralds, Red shift hopefully.

Requiem was in the vein of "The End" stories - non canon.

There is no indication of whether this one is canon or not, to my knowledge, but I believe that usually means it IS - though I could be wrong.

It kinda looks to me like one of those books where if it's canon or not really doesn't make a difference- I doubt he's going to be running into any old friends or affecting the Universe or anything like that. I see it as a kinda self contained look at the concept.

Oh, and I love it when they write the Silver Surfer as Marvel's answer to Jesus. It's always fun to read Messainic Surfer. Art's amazing.

the whole thing was too bright and colorful, i couldnt make heads or tails of what i was looking at

This can't be cannon, it doesn't mesh at all with recent Surfer showings post Annihilation Wave.

Now that he's ordering takeout for the big G again, Surfer has been less angsty and more aggressive.

Art = Great. Not Phil Jimenez great, but still great.

I actually like the beginning, where it gives us a very real sense of Surfer's conflict of "why do I have morality?" On such a cosmic scale, cruelty and violence become just another necessary part of creation....and an altruistic being becomes almost artitrary by comparison.

Otherwise, meh, but I'll stay for the art.

That art is awesome. I have to go pick this up!

Thanks
