Silver Surfer, Vol. 5: A Power Greater Than Cosmic by Dan Slott

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This collects the last of Dan Slot and Mike and Laura Allred's run on Silver Surfer and brings resolution to the love story between Dawn Greenwood and the Surfer.

This book continues issues 7-14 of the series. The first six issues are one-shot adventures that see our heroes visiting a galactic casino, telling tall tales to giant sized germs and anti-bodies inside a space whale, and meeting the now reformed Galactus, as well as dealing with an alien who is determined to battle the Silver Surfer.

Yet, there are also some sadness and grief for our heroes, particularly in the emotional two-part finale, which packs a wallop because of how much we care about these characters. Overall, this a wonderful and beloved epic space opera romance that's worth reading from start to finish. It's a beautiful finish to one of the best written comics out there.
