Customer review of: Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol. 9: Silver Surfer

Summary: vol9: "Silver Surfer" less than sterling.
Comment: "Silver Surfer" takes off with a classic Fantastic Four plot point: Reed tries to construct a device (in this case, the Cosmic Cube), and things go awry. He attracts the attention of the "Silver Searcher," who calls his master, the Psycho Man, to turn Earth into a utopia at the cost of everyone's free will and self-knowledge.

I'm not a hardcore F4 reader, but this arc does capture, albeit briefly, the several "beats" that a fantastic four story SHOULD:
-Reed is a nerd, Johnny's a jerk, Ben is lovable, and Sue is capable
-The four are "imaginauts" - meaning, their science fiction is a little bit more offbeat, a little more fun, than conventional science fiction. Earth as a utopia never fails to be interesting.
-The four are a family, and NOTHING can break their bond, not even the Psycho man.
-The Silver (ugh) Searcher is a noble hero who will always value autonomy over despotism.

This arc took off very slowly. For a collection of five issues, you only really need to read the last three. I find it very disappointing that the title of the arc is "Silver Surfer," but Norrin Radd is referred to only as "The Silver Searcher." His first rebellion against the Psycho Man is also glossed over and a mere footnote, when I think he deserved a bigger spotlight.

If you're a fantastic four fan, you won't be disappointed, but don't think this will wow you. This arc was adequate at best.

Get the book only if you're deeply into the Ultimate Fantastic Four universe.

Summary: Silver Searcher.....What?
Comment: I love the ultimate series but this was tottally weak....the Silver Searcher...they butchered this character.....What was wrong with Galactus be the way he was before....love the Ultimate line but hate what they have done with Galactus and now the Silver (Searcher).....I bought this book because I have all the Ultimate books....this was by far the weakest in the Fantastic 4 sereies and one of the weakest Ultimate titles to date.


Editorial Reviews:

Reed Richards' attempts to create a cosmic cube have caused him to pierce the barriers of a hundred universes. And falling through the opening into our unsuspecting reality is the keeper of the Power Cosmic-Ultimate Silver Surfer! 'Nuff said! Collects Ultimate Fantastic Four #42-46.
