Comic Book Review: ‘Silver Surfer: Requiem’
Since the Silver Surfer’s inception in 1966, the character has been an outlet for countless authors’ overwrought, over-written, middle-aged angst.
But is it any wonder why?
Unlike most of Marvel’s menagerie, the Silver Surfer isn’t a fast-talking teenager or a testosterone fueled he-man. He’s an intellectual alien prone to alliterate elegies and impassioned pleas for peace. If you’re a corporate comics writer with a flash drive full of unpublished poetry, you couldn’t ask for a better mouthpiece.
Comic Book News, In Brief
Dan Slott (author of my all-time favorite She-Hulk book) and Mike Allred (artist of one of my all-time favorite X-books, X-Statix) and are teaming up for a new Silver Surfer series. (You guessed it: One of my all-time favorite comic book characters!)
While this sounds an awful lot like Marvel is tapping my REM sleep, robbing me of my dream comics, I’m not planning on pressing any charges just yet. So long as the series ends up being as all-caps AMAZING as it oughta be, we’re cool. But if it starts slipping into guest writers and fill-in artists before the first TPB is complete, I’m calling on the combined powers of Freddy Krueger, Morpheus and Li’l Nemo of Slumberland to take back what’s rightfully mine.
