Volume 1: New Dawn was such an unexpected good time. While it started a little slow and serious, once the plot really gets in motion - Surfer helping an ailing cosmic Queen of Nevers, which leads him to attempting to save / return a kidnapped earthling (the 'Dawn' of the title) - things click with the mixture of offbeat story and colorful images. Surfer's unexpected moments of gentle humor and Dawn's consistent pluckiness make them - whether far, far away or earthbound - quite a team.

Wacky, weird and funny at times. Never really read much about the silver surfer so this was a new experience. Hes such an odd character but somehow Slott makes it work. The artwork is pretty cool, I would have liked some more wacky art to compliment the story but it still worked. Basically saves a lady, goes on some wacky adventure with her to stop something. I guess each volume would be similar and I'm keen to learn more about him.

When he’s not gracing the cover of Joe Satriani albums, the Silver Surfer likes to pursue hobbies that include being aloof, lacking basic human emotions, and riding around on the surf board from which he draws his surname (his parents chose “Silver” for his given name because his dad was a big fan of both horses and the Lone Ranger*). Which is to say, he’s kind of a hard guy to root for sometimes.It’s not that he hasn’t played a vital role in some key Marvel stories over the years or had some in...

The Silver Surfer, sentinel of the spaceways, finds the Impericon, the city where anything is possible. Why does the Never Queen want it destroyed? And what does an Earth girl named Dawn Greenwood have to do with anything?Confession time: The Silver Surfer is one of those characters that I was always semi-interested in but never quite understood when I was a lad. When I saw Dan Slott, the man who made Spider-Man interesting again, was helming it with Mike Allred, creator of Madman doing the art,...

5 stars for Allred's art, 1 star for Slott's stupid-ass story. I should probably mention that I am all alone hating this story. Every single one of my friends loved it. Loved it! So, chances are, you will love it, as well.But, to me, this story had such simplistic dorky dialogue that I was gritting my teeth the entire time I was reading it. It read like a little kid's book!Wish on a star, and everything will be ok!Follow your heart to unlock your dreams!Be a moronically naive girl, and solve

I'm not gonna lie. I didn't think I would like this. I figured I would read it and probably plop down a 3-star rating and qualify that by saying in my review that it was actually a 2.5-star rating.Then I actually read it.Yeah - I like to judge things before I even know what they are. It's how I roll.Lo and behold...4 FREAKING STARS!This was fun, quirky, Silver Surfer, spacey, goodness! The whole book had a very whimsical feel to it and I actually (for real) LOL'd a few times. The art took a few

Oh Dan Slott....In my humble opinion Slott is the best, his stories are always laced with just the right amount of humor and this series is no exception.Silver Surfer is an often overlooked character and while I've always liked him he isn't exactly the warmest or most charismatic of Marvel's line up.Okay that's the T-1000 from Terminator 2, but he is shiny and Surfer can come across a bit robotic.Anyways, my point is that Slott does a great job of retaining Surfer's alien nature while still givi...

This is brilliant. There are some real gems out at the moment but not many of them are marvel based. This however, is a gem.It's classic Surfer with added adventure and some laugh out loud gags. This kid asks Hulk "how do you pee?" Hulk's response "I have to stand 4 miles away!" I won't say anything that would give too much away, but it's not a long complex story, well not yet anyway, instead it's more like an adventure book, where surfer gets into trouble and ends up meeting and saving people.

Exactly what you would expect from a creative team containing Mike Allred. Great, weird and fantastic art. A fun retro story.

4.5 out of 5This was super fun book a real pleasure to read and just stare at the art. My only gripe is that the handful of villains in the book should have presented more of a challenge to Silver Surfer and his power cosmic (which they mentioned about a zillion times). Mike Allred's art is always a homerun for me and this book is probably his best work to date.

The Silver Surfer has always been an angsty kind of guy – guilt ridden. It comes from once being the herald of Galactus, Devourer of Worlds (it’s printed on his business cards). “Hey everybody on this planet, I’m here to tell you that you’re all doomed. Some big purply guy with a purple antlered helmet is going to eat your planet, so if you lost your car keys or didn’t pay your mortgage last month, no worries. Gotta go, bye.” Early issues of the Silver Surfer were giant-sized comics depicting

I didn't think I'd like this as much as I did. Again, never really read anything about Silver Surfer except for Fantastic Four stuff. I forgot how much I liked his character and the weird space stuff of Marvel comics.This comic was a blast to read though. It was fun an felt like an old Jack Kirby comic. Like the She-Hulk comic, you don't need any previews background information on Silver Surfer. Dan Slott gives you hits of his past, but it doesn't effect the story in prier information.Michael "M...

Ok so I'm gonna give this a 3.5 which I shall round up because I had such a fun time reading this, it has alot of action it's really different and weird and did i mention fun? Some pros, I love the art, I think dawn is a cool character and I love all the cameos throughout.Some cons, I don't really know anything thing about silver sufer and they don't really explain much of what's going so I didn't feel any attachment to the character, some times it was a little too weird or didn't make sense to

The Impericon is a safe place from the threat of Galactus and his heralds. Trying to ensure the safety of the Impericon they bring in the Silver Surfer to protect them from the threat. They don't give their protectors a choice in the matter as they capture the most important person to them for leverage.New Dawn did nothing for me. The story while sensible, bored me. The addition of a random woman from Earth makes little sense. I don't see why she should get so much page time. It was all unintere...

So this is the Silver Surfer story everyone seems to love, huh? Well of course I have to be that a**hole that points out the problems again.What’s it about?The Silver Surfer is in space and when he has to stop a giant woman made of space stuff (galaxies, stars, planets, all that cool s***) from killing everyone, he discovers he has a strong connection to a human girl named Dawn (who is not a giant or made out of space stuff).Pros:The art while not particularly great, does suit the style of this

This was not at the top of my Marvel Now! reading list. Silver Surfer also seemed kind of serious and even dour to me. I get enough angst from Marvel's Merry Marching Mutants, thanks. But the cover just looked so darn cool (Allred for the win!) and the reviews made it sound anything but depressing.And no, it most certainly is not depressing, in any way. It mixes light-hearted scenes with more serious action, in a way that's tonally similar to the less-than-serious, less-than-comedic episodes of

This is terrific. Dan Slott turns a Silver Surfer title into Doctor Who. He's an alien who takes on earth companion on adventures. Everywhere and anywhere. It's Doctor Who. Slott has even said himself that it is. And it's great. It's what I want a Silver Surfer comic to be like, travelling the cosmic marvel universe. I really love Michael Allreds art, especially when he's on Jack Kirby characters. It has a fun quirkiness to it, and his character designs are often the classic looks of characters....

Norrin Radd aka Silver Surfer, the loneliest, most tragic figure in the Marvel Universe. As Galactus the world-eater’s herald, the Surfer travels the cosmos for new worlds for his master to devour. Oh the pain! The misery! The angst!! Ehhhhh… nope - not anymore! Enter: the new, fun-loving All-New Silver Surfer! Norrin is no longer Galactus’ herald and spends his time saving planets instead of marking them for death, in order to make up for past transgressions. That’s right, in the same vein as t...

The Surfer is Back!Dan Slott does a great job here with one of Marvel's more outlandishly cosmic heroes, embracing the absurdity throughout while at the same time effectively grounding Norrin Radd's high-flying adventures by pairing him up with a perky, relatable human companion (something that untold numbers of reviewers here have already likened to Dr. Who. I'll have to take their word for it, never having seen an episode of said long-running TV show. I'm such a sub-optimal nerd, I know!)The n...

I thought I already read this...turns out it was just the free first issue on Comixology.The art is from Allred, who did fun work on Faux Four and other things. It's the redeeming quality of the book.People are right to compare this to a lighthearted Doctor Who episode, but like the latest version, I hate the companion, Dawn, who takes away from the hero. Also, since when does Surfer return to Norrin Radd "Silver Down" form whenever he wants?There's a reunion with the original Defenders, Surfer,...
