Silver Surfer has always been something of an icon from the Marvel universe, ever since his first appearance with the Fantastic Four in 1966, the Surfer has caught the imagination of many, comic book fans or not. As mentioned in a previous review (#2 Guardians of the Galaxy), Silver Surfer Black is a side story coming from Guardians of the Galaxy 2019. After leaving the Guardians storyline helping a lost group of hero's through a black hole, the Surfer exhausts his energy and sinks into the black, where part of the darkness start's consumes him like a cancer.
The growing Black takes the Surfer on a brief history of the hero and the darkness that grows within, visiting main plot points and characters such as Ego and Galactus from the Surfers days gone by. This is obviously an introduction to Silver Surfer storyline, and as that, it is perfect.
Now the main thing I'd like to say about this story, is the artwork is absolutely amazing! Artist Tradd Moore (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, Venom) and colourist Dave Stewart have created a masterpiece, each page is a psychedelic trip through the storyline. The five piece story is perfect as a taster of the Silver Surfer which anyone could get on with.
