>The Silver Surfer has fallen—but his legacy lives on.>This week’s penultimate chapter of Death of Silver Surfer, the five-issue miniseries from writer Greg Pak with artists Sumit Kumar and Tiago Palma, revealed who will carry the mantle forward. In a shocking twist, Norrin Radd passed the Power Cosmic to Kelly Koh, the special agent once sent to hunt him down. With the Fantastic Four’s approval, Kelly will continue as Marvel’s new Sentinel of the Spaceways after next month’s finale, Death of Silver Surfer #5. But before she takes full flight, she and Norrin must stand together against a universe-ending force tied to Galactus’ darkest sins.>“Kelly with the Power Cosmic absolutely follows in that [Silver Surfer’s] tradition,” Pak said. “But she’s also got a no-nonsense, cocky, dangerous edge that makes her much less predictable than Norrin and a huge challenge to the villains—and heroes!—of the Marvel Universe. Don’t miss Death of the Silver Surfer #5 to see what’s next for both Norrin and Kelly—and the Power Cosmic!”

I am so shocked that this happened Color me surprised And that surprise looks like a pile of shit
>>150554602>writer Greg Pak
>>150554602Norrin will be back once the controversy dies, just like Thor was when Jane took over in his absence.
Why the butch hair? The movie one was traditionally attractive with what appeared to just be swept back hair as if she has been swimming (you know, surfer).
>>150554602Did anyone even bother to read or storytime in this new issue?
Why the cosmic psoriasis? Looks kinda gross.
>>150554602>she’s also got a no-nonsense, cocky, dangerous edge that makes her much less predictable than Norrin
>>150554875A failed attempt to emulate Jack Kirby's iconic dots.
>>150554917I assumed, which is why I said cosmic. But as a static skin feature, it just looks kind of diseased.
>>150554602So can I get apologies from all the paste eaters who said synergy was done and female surfer wouldn't affect Norrin in the comics
>>150554602>>150554605The hair is such cringe>inb4 erm ackshually in What If #69 published 198X there's a version of Surfer with hair soDon't care
>>150554602>Norrin Radd passed the Power Cosmic to Kelly Koh>But before she takes full flight, she and Norrin must stand together against a universe-ending force tied to Galactus’ darkest sins.>see what’s next for both Norrin and KellyI don't know. Sounds like he's not dying but giving his power to her. Sounds like when Bruce Banner lost the ability to go Hulk and was training Skaar.
>>150554602Wonder how long this will go on since the movie did not do all that well.
>>150555594So yeah, Norrin will be back. This is just them leaving an opening for it once Kelly's come and gone.
>>150554602lmao they’re never gonna learn are they
>>150554605Silver tits, cool.
>>150554823I think people just forgot.>>150555732They likely expected the movie to do well when this was in the planning stages and were probably blindsided that it did worse than Superman>>150555802Knowing that Feige asked them to make Kamala a Mutant in comics makes me think he also asked them if they could bring in a female Surfer
Why are you idiots pretending marvel isnt totally controlled by the degenerate lunatics at Disney? That sales or that normal humans think matters? Its social engineering that's bankrolled by people who have a money printer and the personal number of presidents.
>>150554908How long does a trope need to be 'subverted' before the subversion becomes the trope itself?
>>150556262They call that "playing it straight" since it helps hacks hide from the fact nobody actually gives brownie points anymore for subversion
>>150554602>got a no-nonsense, cocky, dangerous edge that makes her much less predictable than NorrinIf this character was given a power mcguffin like the Nega Bands or even a soul gem it could be amusing, but this is the fucking Power Cosmic which is basically the power of infinite asspull, except against Wakandan wrestling holds apparently. Giving ultimate power to a street level character seems more like a villain origin.
>>150554602Oh no, not the Silver Surfer! The character who barely shows up in anything unless he’s jobbing!
>>150554823Do you want one?
>>150554602It's like Alonso never left
>>150554602Hair ruins it
>it's another eartherquasar #2 all over again
>>150554602>a no-nonsense, cocky, dangerous edgeI think I've finally become a misogynist.
>>150556890....That's literally the fucking origin story of over half of the marvel heroes. It has nothing to do with power. It's just terrible
>>150554602Yes we know.We talked about this on /co/ when the miniseries was announced and after first issue dropped. It was obvious Koh would be the new Surfer.
>>150554602FINALLY!A silver surfer that I want to fuck.Finally something for us hetero men.
>>150554602Good thing you guys aren't buying this... right?
>>150555069>paste eaters who said synergy was doneI don't see how anyone honestly thought that given we just got the whole Kamala fiasco
>>150555069>>150559098The Paste Eaters are likely Marvel employees trying to damage control
>>150559066I haven't bought a single comic in over a decade
>>150554605Kinda hot
>>150554602Fuck off faggot, stop shilling your dogshit articles here. Anyone with half a braincell called this as soon as the mini dropped
>>150554602poor surfer
>>150554602>PakKoreans ruin everything. Nothing is sacred to them except feminism.
>>150555830It's not cool, anon. It's not Radd at all.
>>150555878>I think people just forgotIt doesn't help that Marvel has said absolutely nothing about whether this will tie into Imperial, no announcement on whether the new Surfer is joining Guardians, Exiles, or whatever. I had to really sift through google search results to find out if this was even a 616 story or alternate universe like Marvel Knights.>FeigeSeems weird he'd ask for an OC instead of, you know, the character that is actually the Surfer in the MCU.
>>150554602I liked when they tried to do it with Agatha Harkness and made the comic version a sexy Kathryn Hahn lookalike, only for the show to turn around and ultimately make Kathryn Hahn look like the original Agatha.
>>150563359Underrated>>150563324I thought his Hulk and Herc were good... well they still hold up against maybe every other run that came later.
>>150565117>I thought his Hulk and Herc were good...NTA, but yeah they were great. Fun books.That said.What else has Pak written thats actually good? Other than Hulk and Herc, and his short stint on Eternal Warrior I honestly can't think of anything else that wasn't crap.
>>150565173I haven't bothered reading anything from the last decade (which obviously included Cho replacing Hulk because tokens), so can't help with that.I think the only other thing from him I read was an older Adam Warlock mini which introduced a female Warlock, and only really makes sense towards the end.
>>150563324I honestly feel like if Pak wasn't so obsessed with Asian representation and chillled the fuck out, he would write better stuff.
>>150554605Boobies
>>150554602>>she’s also got a no-nonsense, cocky, dangerous edge that makes her much less predictable than NorrinI wish white men were allowed to be written like that instead of always depciting them as losers and weaklings to attack masculinity and white men in general
