Book: The Silver Surfer #8 by Stan Lee and John Buscema
Rating: 3 stars
Review:
This was a rather short story and it will continue in the next issue.
In this issue, Mephisto returns with a new plan to get The Surfer's soul (he was last seen in issue #3). The last time he tried to tempt The Surfer with lust and greed but this time he plans to have one of his minions, a ghost pirate trapped in limbo to fight The Surfer. To turn the ghost into the ultimate opponent, Mephisto transformed him and gave him a flying ship. To encourage the ghost, Mephisto told him that he will finally let his spirit rest if he fights The Silver Surfer, so Mephisto can collect The Silver Surfer's soul.
I thought the scenes with the ship flying over Manhattan were very funny. Because most of people on the street thought it was some sort of publicity stunt an advertising company had cooked up while only a few of the people actually seemed scared.
Also, in this issue, The Surfer and his girlfriend Shalla Bal have some how been able to communicate with each other. Although they both believed what they experienced to be either a dream or vision. Maybe this will be explained in the next issue.
Despite being really short, this issue gives you a nice set up for the next issue.
