Silver Surfer: Requiem #1

Bathed in starlight against the deep of space, the Silver Surfer stands with arms open and glowing energy cradled in his palms — a figure of quiet power and profound solitude rendered in Esad Ribić's luminous painted style. This opening chapter of the four-part Requiem series carries the weight of its title, with the Latin word for a funeral mass setting a contemplative, elegiac tone from the very first page. J. Michael Straczynski and Ribić bring a literary ambition to Marvel's cosmic herald that feels genuinely moving even before you crack the cover.
