One thing I love about comicbooks is the sheer sense of scale that can be created with nothing more than printed ink on a page. If you can draw it, it can happen. Last issue, we had the Silver Surfer “surf” a moon smack into Galactus' head. This issue, it's not perhaps quite so unique but it still is as impressive and epic as ever– Galactus consuming an entire planet and the scores of refugees forced to flee in their makeshift armada. I hope I never become too jaded a comic reader to not be impressed by Galactus the mother-#@%!#$ World Eater. (That last sentence is more impressive if you read it in Samuel Jackson-voice.)

With a renewed focus on the cosmic at Marvel, this issue acts as a lesson to those taking on these ambitious outer space projects. Instead of always thinking in terms of planetary wars or of space battles, there can be simpler moments. Granted, involving Galactus in anything puts the story on a bigger scale, but it is the human moments here which define this particular issue, and which let it succeed. Read Full Review

Now that's more like it. Dan Slott and Michael Allred put the capper on their Galactus saga, ending their so-so arc on a definite high note. Read Full Review

As I said earlier, "Silver Surfer" #10 feels like it could have been the end of the series, and it's hard to wonder if this was an artificial conclusion point in case the sales weren't strong enough to warrant more issues. I'm thrilled that it's not the end, even with the slight change in the status quo holding a lot of possibilities for where "Silver Surfer" #11 and beyond will take us. Once again, kudos to all involved; Slott and the Allreds continue to breathe life into a character who is far too easily made stale. Read Full Review

Great issue and the first of the series that actually had serious consequences which should be felt throughout the next arc.

This issue wraps the solid, if early, return of galactus. Despite the short arc this comic delivers a satisfying emotional punch. After a bumpy opening, it dives headlong into a non-stop climax that pushes from one great beat to the next. The issue is full of dramatic and sudden twists, which largely succeed, creating a lot of gasp worthy moments. However, this issue is so full of these dramatic beats, that you get a bit worn down by them, making the final sacrifice ring hollow. Also the opening makes a peculiar choice in completely voiding the stakes and conflicts set up by last issues climx, making that issue less satisfying, and doing a disservice to itself. But in an issue packed with a lot of great moments, it's hard too complain too much. more

A pretty weak ending to an awesome story. Galactus stripped his power but oh wait, he was just pretending? What!? I guess it's nice for a happy ending just kind of the same of crap from a book that is different. I love this series up to this "climax". Hopefully the next arc and climax will be better.
