Book Review: The Silver Surfer #6


Book: The Silver Surfer #6 by Stan Lee and John Buscema

Rating: 3 stars

Review:

This issue had The Silver Surfer attempting to breakout of his invisible confinement by trying to travel past the speed of light. This worked but he ended up in the past which he found to be very bleak with every planet being devoid of life including his home world and Earth.

By chance The Surfer lucked up on planet that contained life but those who lived there were the downtrodden lackeys of The Overlord. Once The Surfer was taken to The Overlord he stood before the universe's worst enemy. All the life in the universe had been destroyed by him.

Faced with trying to stop an unstoppable enemy, The Surfer with additional information from one of the unfortunate guards was able to stop The Overlord by going back in the past to prevent an accident that inadvertently created the villain.

This was a pretty good issue because it made you think about if the things you do now may some how create something bad in the future. The poor surfer, he has to be one of the most saddest characters around.
