I found it interesting that Death is portrayed as a female in this story; I am glad the power of the feminine is not understated or underestimated in graphic novels.
Two endearing scenes in this tale add to the amazing sensitivity and compassion of the Silver Surfer character - the beautiful image of Surfer cradling the baby he saved from the volcano, and the gentlemanly way he reacts to She-Hulk clobbering him when she mistakes him for a bad guy intruder. (He is very polite and does not fight back. Not that he needs to since she obviously cannot do much damage to him. Still, his benign reaction to her assault is very nice.) Good job of appealing to female Surfer readers like myself.
One of my favorite recurring elements of the Silver Surfer saga also happens in this story: Additional powers are continually and conveniently revealed in his adventures - in this case, when our hero saves the Salarians. ("Good thing Galactus bestowed this useful power upon me; now I can save this entire planet.")
The only sequence I didn't like in this book was the encounter with the Impossible Man. I thought it was boring and was likely added as entirely useless filler to extend the story. But that is just my opinion. Some people might like the endless shapeshifting and pranks of the Impossible Man. I already think Silver Surfer has enough ability to understand humor, so I was puzzled as to why the need to develop more was stressed.
Overall, this is a great storyline; and I will enjoy reading this graphic novel again.
