Silver Surfer: Devolution #[nn]

The Silver Surfer streaks across his cosmic board in gleaming silver, caught between two towering, armored figures whose sheer scale dwarfs him on this striking 2011 Marvel collection. The tension written into that central composition — the Surfer blazing with power against the looming presences flanking him — makes for a cover that pulls you in immediately, with pencils by Carlo Pagulayan and inks by Danny Miki delivering crisp, dynamic energy throughout. Collecting the Devolution storyline, this trade paperback is a fine showcase of cosmic Marvel storytelling at a satisfying read-at-once size.
