I am waiting...
...for a new Silver Surfer series obviously.
Marvel is kind of ushering in a new cosmic era into Marvel Now! Guardians of the Galaxy spearheaded by Bendis is being written and Nova is following right behind. So that is already 2 cosmic titles. Thanos has a mini-series and we all know that both the Guardians story and Thanos are linked to movies Marvel are planning. Nova, well he is just a cool guy people like nowadays and following the success of the Annihilation saga, it has propelled him to semi-stardom. Hickman is re-introducing the 'New Universe' via Avengers so all is pointing to one thing in my eyes. The Silver Surfer will be with us soon...or so I hope and dream.
The Silver Surfer has had 3 onoing series (albeit vol.2 was very limited) and they were all well loved yet cut too soon. Several mini-series have been released since but none have used the character as well as Steve Englehart, Jim Starlin or Ron Marz have. As Abe Simpson would say - for shame! The Silver Surfer is a lost soul in space, a place he wants to be though.
Remember it was Norrin Radd who offered himself to Galactus. The noble sacrifice to save his planet, yet it was also the selfish act to roam free across the skies and away from Zenn-La. Yes he has suffered, he has brought horror upon countless worlds yet everytime he has the opportunity to return home or to his loved ones he spurns it and frequents his former master. He has seen so much, experienced it all and yet has a certain naivety and innocence about it.
The trouble has always been with him is what direction to take him in. Lets not forget the sheer power the Surfer has. He is up there, if not beyound the Hulk, Thor and Hyperion. Where do you place a being of that power and what could possibly affect the Sentinel of the Spaceways. Well my recommendation is keep him in space. Let him explore the microverse and negative zone and make him battle his equals and let the Marvel Universe know that the Silver Surfer is Power Cosmic. His power was recognized in Annihilation yet at times you felt that he was held back. How many times have I thought, What If the Surfer was there during the Skrull Invasion or vs the Pheonix...oooooo only one can guess. Either way, that is the past, bring him back and mix him in with Thanos, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova and even Annihlus.
Yeah Boyce - bring the Surfer back and let Marvel Now truly be COSMIC and about the Marvel UNIVERSE!
