NYCC 2013: Silver Surfer

Well one of the big announcements, and one that has been rumoured for quite some time, is that Silver Surfer will be getting a monthly series again from the creative team of Dan Slott and Mike Allred. The Marvel Cosmic Universe has received an impressive rejuvenation within the Marvel NOW! initiative with the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova becoming surprise hits since there release, and all these titles have some of the best talent in the industry attached to them, Brian Michael Bendis, Steve McNiven, Sarah Pichelli, Jeph Loeb, Ed McGuinness, Zeb Wells and Paco Medina and now joining this list are the brilliant Dan Slott and Mike Allred. 

I'm fairly certain everybody should know these two creators but just in case Dan Slott is the writer who caused absolute uproar when killing off Peter Parker, which if you haven't read Superior Spider-Man you won't know was a brilliant move with Superior Spider-Man proving you can have a brilliant Spider story without Peter Parker in the suit, although enough about Superior this isn't the right post to rave about it. But it's safe to say that Slott is currently writing one of the best comics on the shelves. 

Mike Allred is best known to me from his work on FF with Matt Fraction which sadly has been announced to be coming to an end come January 2014 this was a surprise favourite for me and I can not wait to see his Silver Surfer, which if the image released with the announcement is anything to go by looks as if he was born to draw the character.

This is slated for a March 2014 release and this will certainly be being added to my pick list!
