Exiles #14

In "Back in the Saddle," the Exiles land on a shattered Earth moments after the Silver Surfer destroys it, witnessing the Surfer eliminate members of the Super Guardians defending a dying Galactus. With Galactus using Blink’s powers to send the Surfer away, the surviving Guardian Manta reveals the Surfer’s desperate mission: to kill Galactus, the world-restorer, for refusing to revive his war-ravaged homeworld, Zenn-La. As the Exiles prepare for the Surfer’s return, they’re contacted by the galactic empress Lilandra, setting the stage for a confrontation that could reshape the balance of power across the cosmos. Written by Tony Bedard and illustrated by Paul Pelletier, with inks by Rick Magyar, colors by Wil Quintana, and letters by Dave Sharpe, the issue’s cover by Jim Calafiore and Mark McKenna captures the scale of the impending clash.
