The Sentinel of the Spaceways has taken the son of Captain Mar-Vell, Genis, under his wing, but even the Power Cosmic can't replace the love of a father! The Surfer knows something that might just be able to soothe a broken heart, but is it worth a clash with THE INFINITY WATCH? Beloved creators Ron Marz and Ron Lim return to a story from their celebrated run on Silver Surfer and they're not the only time travelers...
Rated T+
Marzs script wouldnt feel out of place with his original Surfer comics, while Lims art is clean and striking with hard lines and classic structuring, draped in somewhat muted (perhaps on purpose?) but bright colors from Romulo Fajardo Jr. Overall, Marz and Lim both understand the assignment and Silver Surfer Rebirth: Legacy #1 delivers on that front, but YMMV on whether or not the assignment itself is all that interesting. For me, these series continue to provide an interesting contrast to everything else on Marvels shelf, but Im not completely sold on them as something that intrigues me beyond that. Read Full Review
To some degree, I'm not sure what to make of this. It has some of the good and bad of days of old and even at times feels like it's right out of the 60s with how it approaches executing the story. There's an appeal to that in trying to recapture that style with a character like this but it also feels like it just moves to things out of the blue and oddly enough. This was my first experience with Genis so that didn't make too much of an impact on me but I can appreciate the idea and the way he was both reticent to do this but also tempted. I really enjoyed the artwork, especially in the trip back in time, and just the general flow and feel that we always get from Ron Lim's take on the Silver Surfer and how he moves. I'm curious to see how the second installment goes but it'll have to really get me to keep going. Read Full Review
Silver Surfer Rebirth: Legacy goes live this week with its first issue, and it puts our favorite chrome hero in a tight spot. Read Full Review
Gosh I love when Ron Lim draws Silver Surfer. This has some of his best work in these “rebirth” titles. This is also the strongest story we’ve gotten so far from these; Genis-Vell’s struggle to live up to his father’s colossal legacy has real pathos. The twist was pretty obvious, but I’m not expecting M Night Shyamalan revelations so I don’t mind. A pretty solid start!
This has the feel that it had been lying around in the Marvel vaults for decades waiting to see the light of day
