There's a lot going on in this issue and I wish we had a couple more instead of just one ahead so that some of this could have been dug into more. The way people reacted to learning of the missing day events is brutal and you feel it but I wanted to see more of what they went through than how it was presented. Al's angry talk about what happened to him with the Stranger is great and his response is weirdly off-putting because of the history of the character, but it fits. I really enjoy what this book is doing and how much of a throwback it is in a way while combined with some fantastic artwork. It's great to watch these characters exist and do things when they're tied to an almost throwaway story from so long ago as it unearths another corner of the Marvel universe. Read Full Review

Mills’s colors are the highlight of this issue, and I’ve enjoyed seeing De Landro’s style used in a cosmic book like this, it’s very different than anything we’ve seen for the Surfer in the past. The story is the weakest element, though there are some touching character moments. Overall, this is a bit of a bridge to get us to the final issue, and is the weakest of the series so far.
