Silver Surfer: Requiem
by J. Michael Straczynski, Esad Ribić
There's one sure thing everyone does in life. We die. And so this tale is the last few days of our once villain turned hero, Silver Surfer, trying to find happiness.
It's broken into 4 issues. First telling his friends close to him, Reed and Sue, what's happening. Then in return they react by trying to help him. The next issue is Silver Surfer spending the day with Spider-man after helping him. By the end it's a touching moment that really makes you love this character. The next his Silver surfer riding through space and meets a bunch of aliens. Last is his final days back at his original home to say goodbye to the ones he loves the most.
Good: The art is fantastic here. Some truly stunning shots, especially in space. The raw emotion of character's finding out what's happening and trying their best to help is great. The death of a character can be tricky but this series pays a lot of respect. Issue 1, 2, and 4 all connect to me in ways of accepting death even when you're scared of it.
Bad: Issue 3 was okay. I understood it but didn't love the narrative on this one.
Overall, mostly fantastic. I think this is a title for people who are looking for a mature, and sad, superhero comic. A 4 out of 5.
