"Worlds Apart" STARTS NOW!
The world of Inkandesha is hauntingly beautiful, filled with cities of solid light and populated by living holographic people. But there's one tiny thing the people of this world probably should've told the Silver Surfer and Dawn before they decided to pop in for a visit...they might have a problem getting their physical bodies back.

Silver Surfer #9 balances drama, romance, horror and space travel into a coherent, personal story with top-notch art and coloring. Read Full Review
Silver Surfer and Dawn go on an adventure that informs the reader in a clever way that pollution is real and protecting our environment should be our highest goal. Slott and Allred have created a wacky and weird premise to wrap this very serious story in, which makes for a trippy science fiction twist. Read Full Review
Silver Surfer is the rare series you can just pick up and go. That's not to discredit the nuance of Dan Slott's long form development " the evolution of Norrin and Dawn's relationship remains the book's highest point " but rather to give credit to the accessibility of his stories. Read Full Review
The latest issue of Silver Surfer is a very sweet and lovely comic. It's got action, mystery and a couple great twists, all capped off with some real, heartfelt romance. Read Full Review
This comic is so good. Whenever this book comes out, which is not that often, I get excited. And I loved everything about this issue, which is really a sweet love story between the Surfer and Dawn Greenwood. To say that it was charming would be an understatement. And I absolutely loved the Mike Allred art--his 1960s style design of the planet was excellent. This is just a super fun comic to read.
Dan Slott's best book!! Another good issue!
I'm not gonna lie, I'm feeling really conflicted about the decision to leave holo-Dawn on the planet of light people. I mean...she had all of Dawn's memories and knowledge, I feel like she should've been less okay with staying behind and "living" out her days as a hologram, and I feel like the Surfer and the real Dawn should've been less okay with leaving her. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but there's just something that doesn't sit right with me about some version of Dawn never getting to see the Surfer or her family or homeworld ever again, even if she's just a hologram with Dawn's memories.
Other than that, this issue continues this series' trend of being a thoroughly engaging and entertaining story.
A romantic getaway on a holographic planet turns into an existential crisis for Dawn. In this issue, Dawn and Norrin are in maximum Dr. Who mode as they uncover a super questionable social order and completely fail to address it. (This is an oversight more than a few Dr. Who stories have made. Did this comic really need to follow suit?) Other problems burbling beneath the surface: Though Dawn and Norrin are totally in love, there are humongous differences between an ordinary Earth girl and a nigh-omnipotent Herald of Galactus. The "cute" jokes about "waste excretion" are just the tip of the relationship iceberg here. (Again, a common Dr. Who problem.) A satisfying adventure and some excellent long-term plot groundwork (plus, as usual, beautmore
This issue was great and a positive change from the last few weak ones.
A bit disturbing..?
All the wonder and joy that the series used to deliver have completely vanished and all that's left is repetitiveness and plot holes.
