"Perfection"
• Everything up till this point was chance and fate-- but now it's decided. Dawn's earned her spot on the board and she the Surfer are going to explore the universe together. And what better place to start than Planet Prime, the most perfect planet in the entire Universe?
• Perfect food, perfect music, and... oh, right... the PERFECT SOLDIER-- out to stop any possible alien threat that might set foot on his world.
• What chance does the Surfer have against WARRIOR ONE, the deadliest combatant in all of creation?!
Whether this becomes a series of mini-arcs in the form of various adventures or not, and whether or not thats a good thing, has yet to be seen. What I do know for sure is that this issue in particular hits a real emotional core that bookends some visually amazing whackiness. Its interesting seeing the idea of the Surfers humanity represented as something other than learning compassion or nobility, but to see him return to emotions that we have rarely, if ever, see the master of the power cosmic display. And while this is most definitely HIS title, Dawn Greenwood is fast becoming an amazing star (pun intended) in her own right, showing Surfer that theres more to life than...well surfing.

This series has been excellent from the get-go, but this issue soars above what weve already seen (which is pretty high). If you havent started reading this seriesWHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Read Full Review
In a medium littered with brooding heroes and cataclysmic events that happen every other Tuesday, Silver Surfer remains a cosmic blast of fresh air. It's funny, heartwarming, and gloriously off-kilter, Dan Slott and Michael Allred doing their own thing and doing it well. Read Full Review
The great strength of Dan Slott and Michael Allred's Silver Surfer is that it's easy to jump into, and that gives this quirky jaunt some real power. Read Full Review
On the art side, Mike Allred kills it with his signature style. He really seems to be the perfect match for this cosmic type of storytelling, and his drawings pop off the page with vibrant coloring and deep inks. I spent more than a few minutes staring at the beautiful final page. I would have a hard time dropping any book as gorgeous as this. Overall, while I fear the series may lose its narrative to cheap trope play, I still recommend this book. Its weakest issue still provides a fun read, but hopefully Slott can work towards building a more solid ongoing plot. Read Full Review
This series is getting better and better with each issue.
