Silver Surfer: Last Days Review

Finished reading Silver Surfer: Last Days, this brings an end to the first Silver Surfer series from the creative team of Dan Slott and Michael Allred as the book ties into the events of Secret Wars by giving a perspective from outside of reality. The book opens up with the Silver Surfer stuck in a time loop as he is helping the survivors of worlds he helped destroy when he was the herald of Galactus find a new planet to live on after Galactus recently destroyed their adopted world. The rest of the book continues with Norrin and Dawn heading back to Earth after spending months trapped on the planet they found for the survivors due to the planet being sentient. The two then find themselves caught within the incursion of the main Marvel universe and the ultimate universe only to escape through a tear in reality where they discover that Dr Doom has taken over reality and Norrin and Dawn are given the offer of rebuilding the main Marvel universe by a being named Glorian. Overall this was a great book as it ties into the larger events of Secret Wars on an outside perspective while still giving Dawn and Norrin some great character development. The layout and execution of the repetitive day story is amazing as it is a different take on a comic that pays off incredibly well. The art by Michael Allred is as amazing as always itch the rest of the series due to the great designs of the aliens and planets and the colour palette used by colourist Laura Allred. 8.5/10.
