The cosmos delivers its final verdict on one of Marvel's greatest heroes. The Silver Surfer is dead. Long live the Silver Surfer. Introducing an all-new hero to take up the mantle. The Silver Surfer returns to defend a war-ravaged Earth — but Norrin Radd has a galaxy-sized target on his back. A new enemy will stop at nothing to steal away everything the Surfer is or ever will be. A single human life may be all that decides the Surfer’s salvation…or damnation. Hated and feared by the very people his heart longs to aid, he must duel an array of rivals hellbent on his utter annihilation! If the Surfer falls, who then wields the awesome Power Cosmic? And what of the Surfer’s old master, Galactus, Devourer of Worlds?! Plus, with the death of the Silver Surfer, will there be a new wielder of the power cosmic to take his place?
