Silver Surfer #4

With only one chapter left in this 2011 five-part limited series, the penultimate issue delivers a cover — penciled and inked by Lee Weeks — that radiates cosmic urgency. Against a blazing solar backdrop, the Silver Surfer stands center stage, his chrome form gleaming, flanked by the Thing charging forward in his Fantastic Four uniform and a dark-suited Spider-Man figure lunging to the right, while a fourth white-clad figure rushes in from behind. It's a thrilling assembly of heavy hitters that sets the stage for what promises to be a charged finale, backed by the creative team of writer Greg Pak and artists Harvey Tolibao and Iban Coello.
