RATED T+
Silver Surfer Rebirth #5 is an excellent conclusion to this story. It shows us the differing resolves of both Thanos and the Surfer, provides excellent artwork, and even leaves room open for more stories in the future if Marvel gives the Silver Surfer more adventures. Any fans of the Silver Surfer will definitely appreciate this series! Read Full Review
It lacks just about anything resembling substance. Read Full Review
I liked this. It was nostalgic, while also being modern enough to where current sensibilities won't reject it.
It's pretty much the pro-forma heroes' victory I was expecting, with all the same retro weaknesses as the previous issues. But 2 elements nudged me into rating this as (just barely) a good comic.
First, the wild visual effects of the Reality Stone are a lot of fun to look at.
Second, the Surfer stumbles into profundity when he says Tyrant is "confus[ing] power with purpose". That's a common problem for megalomaniacal villains (eg, it perfectly fits Korvac in his recent arc in Iron Man). It's just a shame that though the author lets the Surfer lampshade this shortcoming, he doesn't do much to fix it.
