Silver Surfer: A Power Greater Than Cosmic Review



Finished reading Silver Surfer: A Power Greater Than Cosmic, concluding the series as writer Dan Slott brings Norrin Radd's adventures with Dawn Greenwood to an end as the two find themselves traveling to the ends of the universe while discovering new planets. The book opens with Norrin and Dawn continues his their adventures in space as the travel to planets where Norrin is trying to keep Dawn safe after what happened with the mother on Earth. And once Dawn finds out what is happening she convinces Norrin to take them to a place that has more risks which leads to them going to an intergalactic casino. The next story see Norrin and Dawn being eaten up by a space whale where they meet the antibodies and infecting virus spores which is stopped when Dawn begins to tell a story of a small alien who traveled with them for a time. The following story sees the pair going to the planet of Inkandessa 4 nod while they are enjoying the tour of the planet Norrin soon discovers that there is some strange at play on the planet. The book then continues with a story where Norrin is called by his former master, Galactus who is now the Bringer of Life who asks for his help to prevent the end of the universe which leads to Norrin and Dawn finding themselves of opposite ends of the universe. The next story sees Dawn's twin sister Eve going into labour which Dawn gets an inkling off while being in a different part of the universe as Norrin is in the middle of stopping an invasion before leaving for Earth only of Warrior Zero wanting a rematch with the hope to regain his place on his home planet. The following story opens with Dawn trying to come to terms with the lost of her father, who died shortly after the birth of her nice before Norrin agrees to go back in time to allow Dawn to see her father for one final time only for the two to be lost in the universe that existed before the one that's really from. The final story of the book works to bring Norrin's journey since meeting Dawn to an end as he looks back on the adventures the two have had while also preparing for the next part of his life. Overall this was a brilliant book as it continues with the serialised structure that helps to explore the wider cosmic side of the Marvel Universe with Norrin and Dawn's travels while also continuing with the storylines of the two's relationship that carries on building throughout that comes to an emotional pay off that is incredibly put together. The art by Michael Allred is breathtaking throughout as the different alien locations and creatures are brought to life amazingly well including the emotional moments between the characters that helps make these moments become extremely affectiveespecially with the book's ending which is all elevated by the amazing colour palette used by Laura Allred. 10/10.
