But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Mar 08, 2023Silver Surfer: Ghost Light #2 is a book that feels classic but is not old-fashioned. So much of this issue seems to contain feelings and sentiments that occurred in horror films in the Cold War era. Read Full Review

Mar 08, 2023A touch of old school never hurt anybody. Showing what comics were to what they are now, how far we have come, and always remembering characters that get us there. I enjoyed this book. And I am looking forward to Silver Surfer: Ghost Light #3. Read Full Review

Mar 22, 2023Silver Surfer: Ghost Light covers a lot of ground here and has a density to it that a lot of books these days typically do not. But it never feels overstuffed or crowded in a way that makes it feel like a slog. You want to know the next bit, to see the dialogue shape things in how characters react, and to watch as the artwork builds the tension or expands upon the revelations. I'm excited to see what comes of this and what Al's path is, as well as the kids, because you can see the potential for something from so far back in Marvel's history to be a key part of what's new and interesting.

Mar 08, 2023Silver Surfer: Ghost Light #2 spends a big chunk of its run time recapping what happened to Al Harper way back in the earliest days of the Silver Surfer comic back in the late 60s. You can't really blame writer John Jennings for wanting to go this route given so few readers will know Harper's backstory, but it does pull the focus away from the Toni & Josh angle that made the first issue such a standout.

A bit long winded, but entertaining.

The plot evolves in interesting directions. The art remains strong and chunky, doing an incredible amount of storytelling with a minimum of detail. But the prose! The author is imitating Stan Lee's early Silver Age style (verbose, excessively expository, contraction-averse) and going way too far. I'm sure it's an intentional affectation and I respect the intent, but it does real damage to the pace and enjoyability of the comic.

Sorry to say about such an iconic character, but I won't buy the rest of the series. The story is ok but it seems to be drawn and coloured by a three year old.
