Realizing that Galactus has yet to eat Earth, Dawn offers herself as Herald, and Galactus accepts. Unfortunately, Galactus says “no.” It’s the only moment in Silver Surfer 10 that I don’t fully buy - Galactus says that, with their planets gone, they have nothing to offer him, but why would the state of these peoples’ home worlds have any effect on their ability to be a Herald? It’s obvious that this denial is just a way to lead up to the ultimate sacrifice: Dawn Greenwood. Michael and Laura Allred’s art is always an essential component of Silver Surfer, but it’s an especially key one in selling this scene - the image of all these disparate races standing together in selfless harmony, their words literally echoing with power, is a sight to behold. Not every planet Norrin and Dawn have visited has been friendly, but even before this moment writer Dan Slott went out of his way to paint the citizens of Newhaven as kind, welcoming people this moment, though, shows that they are true heroes. It’s a stunning moment of sheer heroism - Norrin’s reverent “What noble souls” barely begins to do them justice. The people of Newhaven are ready to evacuate, but then they hear the story of how Norrin once offered himself to Galactus in exchange for the safety of his homeworld. This sparks something, and one by one, each and every citizen of Newhaven offers themselves to Galactus to keep their planet safe. What happens once they do is one of the most inspiring, heroic comic book moments I’ve read in quite a while.Īfter failing to stop Galactus by “surfing the moon,” Norrin Radd just throws everything he has at the devourer of worlds, but it simply isn’t enough.

The citizens of Newhaven have every right to be mad at the Surfer, who, in many ways, is directly responsible for the destruction of their various homeworlds at the hand of his former master, Galactus, but it isn’t until they’re faced with the same horrific choice as he once was that they can truly begin to understand him. Spencer: The Silver Surfer may not wear shoes - at least not when he’s “silvered up” - but that doesn’t make this old adage any less true for him. “You never truly know someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.”

Today, Spencer and Drew are discussing Silver Surfer 10, originally released March 12th, 2015.
