Silver Surfer #9

In "Giorno Del Giudizio!", the Silver Surfer confronts the Elders—L'Astronomo, Il Contemplatore, Il Gran Maestro, Il Mercante, Il Possessore, and Il Collezionista—after trading the final soul gem to free Mantis and Shalla Bal. When the Elders attempt to destroy Galactus using the gems, the Surfer must choose between his past allegiance and the greater good, joining forces with Champion, Nova, and Mantis in a desperate bid to stop the cosmic reckoning.

In "...Ho Pianto Per La Libertà (Panther's Quest Parte Quindicesima)", Pantera Nera races to save T'Challa as flames consume him, while Theodore Olebogeng struggles to contain the inferno. As the Comrads close in on Miyo Mishogi, a desperate act ignites a new fire—one that threatens to engulf them all. When a new faction, the "Fathers," storms in to confront the Comrads, the flames spread with deadly consequence.

In "Promesse Non Mantenute (Panther's Quest Parte Sedicesima)," T'Challa and Zanti Chikane race against time to save Theodore Olebogeng, a young man left severely burned during the escalating conflict between the Comrads and the "Fathers." As the violence around them intensifies, they seek help at a whites-only clinic, where the doctor does everything possible—yet tragedy strikes when Theodore succumbs to his wounds.
