Silver Surfer: Requiem #4

The fourth and final chapter of Silver Surfer: Requiem arrives with a cover by Esad Ribić that is quietly devastating — the Silver Surfer lies suspended, arms outstretched, his luminous silver form surrounded by a circle of shadowed, silhouetted figures who seem to bear witness to something profound. Ribić's painterly style lends the image an almost devotional gravity, entirely fitting for a story subtitled "Agnus Dei." J. Michael Straczynski and Esad Ribić bring this elegiac four-part Marvel Knights series to its conclusion in 2007 with an emotional weight that sets it apart from typical superhero fare.
