So I just started the Silver Surfer series on Netflix for my kids who love superhero stuff. I don't fillow comics much but I'm still surprised to find out he just Galactus little bitch, is this basically it? I'm having a coffee and can hear episode two on the TV and now I think Thanos is trying to get a piece now? Is SS respected in the comic community?
I'm getting peppered with questions from my kids and have few answers here.

Noran Radd became SS and Galactus's bitch because Galactus was going to swallow his planet and to save his people and his girl he said he would be Galactus's messenger and find planets full and rich to eat. SS is def respected and he eventually went against galactus and they had some epic battles iirc.

Nice. I got the first part good but didn't want to set my kids uo to watch a show where SS just flies around being an errand boy over and over. If he rebels and get some shit stirred up Im in.

Thanks PB!

I enjoyed that show when it was on tv. If they like that one there's also spider-man and x-men that came out around the same time.
Plus Avengers: Earth's mightiest heroes is a good one.
All on Netflix.

Ya we've started those as well. That old Xmen show is great, I used to watch that al the time when I was younger. I forgot about it and when I put it on I was smiling remembering how much I used to watch.

I don't think so, If it's not on Netflix then I don't keep track of what series they've got into.

They both love anything Batman though. Have a few of the Lego video games, the original 4 movies they like but a bit young to watch Batman Begins and shit which is too bad, those are awesome.

If they love Batman get them on the Animated Series from the 90's. It's the best anything Batman! Also check out Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

ahhh long time Silver Surfer fan checkin in here.
Although I haven't read a comic book in well over a decade and the last time I read the SS was when Ron Lim was illustrating AND writers really never used him like they could.....Yes he is the tits.

If you could be any superhero, you'd be the surfer. It's not an opinion it's the only fucking answer. How awesome would that be to just silver fucking surf wherever you damn-well pleased?
You want a pizza and a coke? Use the power cosmic to produce that shit. As long as there's a universe then you ain't runnin out of that shit.
A megalodon bit off your arm while you silver surfuckinurfin in the depths of another planet? No worries mate- you let that shit happen and just instantly reproduce your arm.
Hulk's a bit pissed with you for showin off your silver fuckin package to his broad. You dust his ass and then take her for a ride and hump her in the back seat of your surf board.

J. Michael Straczynski wrote a pretty good Silver Surfer mini series "Requiem" and drawn by Esad Ribic.
Silver Surfer is dying its the story of what he does in his last days.
Its a bit of a downer but it's well done and a gorgeous looking book.

How the he....no....
NoNoNoNoNOOOOOOOOOOO!!! God damnit NO!
What's wrong with you man???
hehe, don't you get it? DON'T YOU GET IT? If the surfer dies then we die and our dreams die and the power cosmic dies and the great peace dies and then the abyss reigns supreme and

.....okay it's actually an interesting concept. It's cool when writers do alternative takes on some character. Bringing mortality into the equation certainly allows the reader to indentify or relate a bit.


so what did he do with his time?

It was only a 4 issue mini but yeah it was an interesting take on the Surfer.

What did he do? Surfed like he never surfed before!

In all honesty the details are a little hazy since I haven't read it in a while. He visits the Fantastic Four, decides to head home and runs into Spider-Man. Ends a long standing space holy war. Says his goodbyes on Zenn-La and has one final encounter with Galactus.
