Marvel continues to celebrate the 50th annual of the giant sized format with an appealing issue. It's nice to see vintage work from the early 90s and a talented guy like Ron Lim. Its fun without being totally revolutionary or anything like that. And it's nice to see a relatively unsung villain like Terrax getting a bit more of a central look in this latest outing for Silver Surfer. It also serves as a pretty solid showcase for the Surfer himself, who once again manages a distinct brand of heroism. Read Full Review
If you're a fan of Marvel Cosmic you'll love Giant-Size Silver Surfer #1. The idea of it being "extra-sized" due to a reprint continues to be odd, but if you have the coin, pick this up. Read Full Review
As standalone one-shots go, this was a well crafted tale that highlights the best out of Terrax and Silver Surfer. Read Full Review
Seeing the Surfers pitted against another creation of Galactus, with equal power, gives us a battle that hinges on Norrin Radd, the man under the chrome. It's a story worth your time. Read Full Review
This felt like a classic Silver Surfer story from the Starlin/Marz era—an era that I love. I really appreciate that Groom addressed recent developments in the Surfer’s life (and by recent I mean things from the past 10 years) rather than revert the character back to where he was in his initial appearance 60 years ago, as almost every writer seems to do. Groom actually acknowledges what Dan Slott did with the character.
These “Giant-Size” stories are not giant though, just an excuse to charge more money, which is frustrating.
