With Marvel Comics having upwards of 30 titles on the chopping block, with the release of the August solicits itâs learned that Silver Surfer is getting the axe.
The solicit for Silver Surfer #14 reads:Â Â âPlease join us for one final trip around the universe.â
Aprilâs issue of Silver Surfer #10 is estimated to have sold around 15K, which means the title has been long overdue to get cancelled.
A few years ago when Joe Quesada was in charge, titles around the 20-21K mark would get the axe on a regular basis.
Regarding Slott and Allredâs Silver Surfer, I wasnât a fan at all.
I prefer my Marvel COSMIC to have serious writing and photorealistic art (similar to Annihilation and Abnett and Lanning COSMIC) and not a watered-down childish and goofy take.Â
Fact is, Slott and Allredâs Silver Surfer wasnât any better than Lanning COSMIC, so itâs no wonder it failedâsimilar to the Bendis Guardians and Loeb NINO.
Adios, I say, and bring back Silver Surfer (and Marvel COSMIC) under someone who cares about the character (Sorry, Slott. Not a fan).
