Were you taking a breather from comics reading? Reading less, certainly. I've been binge-watching Sons of Anarchy on Netflix and Marvel's Daredevil series before that. (The latter obviously inspired me to choose the DD/Miller/Janson Omnibus from the Pile.) That's been consuming a lot of time I might have otherwise spent doing more reading. I also was focusing solely on floppies on the reading side for a couple of weeks, so that I'm not as hopelessly behind on those. REALLY behind on Pile reviews, though....

OP Lard Lad Time Trapper L Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 29,246 The Underbelly of Society	Yesterday, I finished Silver Surfer Vol. 2: Worlds Apart, which is the second collection of the current Slott/Allred collaboration on the character. Having enjoyed the first volume immensely, I knew this was one trade that wouldn't linger in the Pile for very long. Vol. 2 certainly didn't disappoint--far from it! Worlds Apart collects issues 6-10 of the series. Issues 6 and 7 are two enjoyable standalones which focus on what it's like for Surfer to journey with earthgirl Dawn Greenwood and how she impacts the lives of him and the third regular cast member, Toomie. (Toomie is one of the unexpected delights of this series, so much so that I won't spoil here Toomie's identity here.) Both are delightful stories that showcase how a presence like Dawn's is what has been needed to humanize our historically morose and aloof hero. The real show-stopper, though, is the excellent 3-parter that concludes the trade and provides us with our inevitable Galactus story. Surfer, Dawn and Toomie happen upon a world populated exclusively by refugees of worlds consumed by Galactus. Surfer is, of course, recognized by much of the populace, and Dawn learns for the first time exactly what Surfer's former occupation was and how he came to get his powers. She doesn't take it well, and things go from bad to worse when Galactus arrives to consume this world populated by people who'd already lost their worlds to him. I won't spoil it any more, but I was really taken aback by the emotional impact this story had. If there's anything that Galactus stories typically lack, it's an emotional component to really hit home the loss that such huge cosmic devastation would bring. Well, that's certainly not the case any more as Slott and Allred manage to get me to tear up a little bit with the rousing conclusion to this tale that really speaks to the the power of the human (sentient) spirit and to the desire for redemption. It's a really beautiful story and one that the Silver Surfer really needed to have, even if you never realized it before that moment. Needless to say, Dan Slott and the Allreds really nail the story and make this trade a very memorable read despite its relative brevity. I maintain, as in the quoted Vol. 1 review below, that this is the Michael Allred work that finally causes me to connect with what he does best on every level. In short, I think he was born to draw Silver Surfer using exactly this take on the character that only he and Slott could create. Looking very much forward to Volume 3, which will be released in late October. It'll be bittersweet, though, as it will apparently be the final one in what has been nothing less than a wonderful collaboration. Originally Posted by Paladin Wow! I just finished that Silver Surfer: New Dawn TPB and thought it was just terrific! You know, I've sampled a number of Michael Allred projects (X-Force/X-Statics, Mad Man, FF, iZombie, among them) over the years, and none of them grabbed me the way they've grabbed others. They each lacked that certain something that would make me a fan. I don't know if it was the scripts or if there was something about Allred's art that caused some disconnect. Or maybe it was both. I don't know. However, when this series launch was announced, I had about 90% made up my mind that I was going to pick it up. Certainly, it helped that the writer this time was Dan Slott, who has been wowing me on Amazing/Superior Spider-Man for several years now and basically resurrected my interest in buying the adventures of my favorite hero again after a long absence. Plus, the preview images just made it look like this would be the Allred project I've been needing all these years. But then came the reviews. they were mediocre at best. "Too derivative of Dr. Who," they said. I don't honestly know why that was a turn-off for me because I've been enjoying the recent Dr. Who series for several years now. This and other "meh" reviews and that the aggregate score on Comic Book Round-up (based on numerous reviews from all over the place) put it at a solid "yellow" (on the green/yellow/red spectrum) convinced me to pass, especially as this would be another $4 book on my budget. Well, luckily, praise from pals like Cobie and the miracle of TPBs gave me a second chance to discover this wonderful book. It's honestly hard to describe, but what it is is wonderful in every way that that word can be used. It has a sense of whimsy, is fun and light in tone, features some big universal themes and ideas, has a fresh "not your run-of-the-mill comic" vibe to it and just lets Allred spread his artistic wings in a way that has finally made me understand and appreciate his talent. But I think what really sells it for me is the character of Dawn and how she grounds both the Surfer and the book itself with her humanity. We are immediately introduced to her and the bullet points of her backstory, and we instantly relate to her. Dawn's not the most complex character ever to grace the pages of comics, but she represents exactly what a character like Norrin Radd needs to be something more than someone who is almost as impenetrable to the reader as his silver shell is to his enemies. To see her and other characters be non-plussed and casual around him is just the take the book needed. It just goes to show that the critics aren't always right about a book, and often it's better to go with what your gut tells you. I'm pretty pissed that I passed this over but at the same time glad I didn't miss it altogether. If the book has maintained anywhere near this level of quality, it's a crying shame that Marvel is going to end it. It may just be one of the best books on the market, right now. As it is, I hope my CBS has the remaining issues in stock, so that I don't have to wait until the next trade to be released in June! Still "Lardy" to my friends!

Cobalt Kid Bold Flavors Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 34,634 If you don't want my peaches, ...	Glad to see you catching up with Volume #2. I agree wholeheartedly with all you say, and the usage of Dawn to humanize the Surfer has injected new life into the character after he's been in "character limbo" for decades. The relationship between Dawn and the Surfer (and their sidekick Toomie) is one of the best I've seen in comics in a long, long time. I have been hearing rumors that perhaps the Silver Surfer series will continue and I really hope that's the case. It's one of the best things going in comics, and a really high point for both Slott and Allred, both of whom I love. I'm glad you've gotten a chance to connect with Allred's work through this series, Lardy! The Galactus story which you've praised is probably the best Galactus story in 30 years. Hell, there are really only a handful of truly great Galactus stories--the first two in FF, the two Kirby Thor ones and the one by John Byrne. The rest are mostly retreads. Until now, with this incredible character piece chalk full of emotional punch.

I've also heard rumors of some kind of Surfer series coming out with the latest Marvel relaunch but nothing solid. I also could swear that I've seen Allred's next post-Surfer project announced, but I can't recall what it is for the life of me. If that's true, at the very least, the dream team is broken up for any new Surfer series. (I hope, btw, that you've seen my latest entry on the All-Spider-Man Thread.
