Silver Surfer #52

In "The Hero in Absence," the Silver Surfer finds himself caught in a web of confusion as Starfox and Mentor vanish during a visit to Titan, leaving Drax—ever loyal but easily misled—to clash with Firelord, whom he wrongly suspects of betrayal. With the help of Doctor Strange, the scattered heroes are drawn to Earth, where they must reunite and prepare for a battle that could shape the fate of the universe. Written by Ron Marz and illustrated by Ron Lim, with inks by Tom Christopher, colors by Tom Vincent, and letters by Ken Bruzenak, this issue features a cover by Ron Lim and Tom Christopher.
