Finished reading Silver Surfer: New Dawn, this book starts the All New Marvel Now series from writer Dan Slott as the Surfer encounters new character Dawn Greenwood as the two embark on an adventure through the cosmos. The book opens up with Dawn Greenwood, her sister Eve and father looking up at the night sky seeing Silver Surfer coming to earth for the first time as the herald of Galactus. Back in the present Silver Surfer is helping a small nebula when he is contacted by the Impericon, a popular tourist destination asking the Surfer to be their newest champion to go up against the Never Queen who is heading to the Impericon for its energy source which happens to be the heart of the Never Queen. The creator of the Impericon uses Dawn Greenwood from Earth as leverage to make sure that Norrin completes his task. The second story has Norrin taking Dawn back to earth were she convinces him to stay a night at her family inn. Unbeknown Nightmare has gone into a deep sleep on Earth causing the worlds population to be trapped inside their own nightmares, which gains the attention of Doctor Strange and the Hulk while they're fighting classic horror monsters. The final story has Norrin and Dawn going to the planet Nautikos where its having its festival of light when a group of pirates crash the festival. Overall this was an amazing book as it gives Norrin a new supporting cast member in Dawn who is a great addition to the story as she's not the typical fish out of water as she seems to take everything in her stride. The book itself feels like a typical science fiction story which is strengthened by some great character interactions and stellar artwork that accompanies the character designs and locations incredibly well. 9/10
