Marvel Comics has released a new four-part series starring the Silver Surfer, titled "Requiem." The series, written by J. Micheal Stracynski (Known best for his work on Amazing Spider-man) and illustrated by Esad Ribic, follows the Surfer through what we're told to believe are his finals days. In the first issue, it was revealed that the outer Shell of the surfers body, which is what keeps him immortal, is starting to decay. Watching the Surfer accept his fate with knowledge and understanding is what makes this series so interesting.
Stracynski has done a great job with the first two issues showing the Surfer as both upset and grateful for all the time he's been able to spend in the universe. Also, issue #1 is a great bridge that shows the Surfers origins and how he went from being Norrin Radd, to Galactus' silver surfing herald.
The Surfer is by far one of Marvels most unique characters, and this is by far one of Marvels most unique books on the stands right now. Whether or not the Surfer actually dies will be worth reading to find out.
