No Silver Surfer For Laurence Fishburne; It's Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur

No Silver Surfer For Laurence Fishburne; It’s Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur

Back in December saw Laurence Fishburne tease a secret Marvel project–one not associated with his upcoming role as Dr. Bill Foster in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Laurence Fishburne actually went to Marvel to pitch a different project, but it couldn’t happen due to legal reasons, so Marvel asked Fishburne to be in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Marvel then …

Marvel’s Dan Slott Has Coronary Over Batman Vs. Superman Gotham Footage

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23074:]]

Fan-favorite Marvel Comics writer of Spider-Man and Silver Surfer, Dan Slott, appears to not have taken favorably to the new Batman Vs. Superman footage which was released earlier during Gotham.

Slott took to Twitter to voice his disassatifaction even though – like the rest of us – he hasn’t seen the whole movie. Slott also appears to not be a big fan of Man of Steel.

Before any accussations of Slott being a Marvel shill begin, Dan does state he’s a big fan of The Flash and Supergirl.

*For the record, Dan didn’t have a coronary – at least we hope not.

Update: Dan Slott has posted even more tweets blasting Batman Vs. Superman and Zack Snyder.

Dan Slott Bringing Silver Surfer Back To Earth In Game-Changer (Video)

Marvel recently announced that Dan Slott and Mike Allred will be back on a new Silver Surfer ongoing next year.

While attending this weekend’s NYCC, Dan Slott talked with Marvel about the Silver Surfer, which sees the character’s 50th Anniversary take place next March.

In the above video, Slott revealed he is bringing the Silver Surfer back to where it all started – Earth – and that their first story will be a game-changer for the character.

“We taken one of our biggest stories and we are just going to explode with that first,” Slott said. “It’s huge, and it’s going to change Silver Surfer forever. We say that all the time. We say ‘break the internet, change forever,’  but no, this story is so big that when you try to explain Silver Surfer… you are going to have to mention this story from now on…. but by being so true to who and what the Silver Surfer is about… but it’s a major, major change for him that comes from the character, and you can never go back after this. You can never go back after this story. This is who Silver Surfer will be.”

Dan Slott also teased that Dawn might not be back for the series.

“We haven’t said if she is coming back,” Slott said. “That first cover, she’s not on it. It’s Dawn-less. You are going to have to wait and see if Dawn Greenwood is coming back.”

Slott continued by teasing the Surfer’s return to Earth.

“Now we are going to see Surfer on Earth because of stuff that is going to happen, and it’s going to be fun to see him interact with the Marvel Universe and do things with Earthlings.”

Dan Slott & Mike Allred’s Silver Surfer Not Confirmed To Return In 2016

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22206:]]

Apparently some web sites jumped the gun and mentioned Dan Slott and Mike Allred’s Silver Surfer series would be returning in 2016.

Well, that’s not the case. At least not, yet.

Mike Allred took to Twitter to state it’s up to Marvel for the series to return.

July’s Silver Surfer sold around 24k and change.

August’s Silver Surfer #15 looked to be the last issue; however, this month and October does see Marvel publish a bunch of Surfer trades.

Silver Surfer Joins Marvel Puzzle Quest

The Silver Surfer is the latest Marvel hero to join the Marvel Puzzle Quest mobile game, marking the game’s first five-star character.

Lead Game Designer Will Jennings-Hess offered Marvel.com the following about Surfer’s abilities:

His Blue ability, Perfect Being, represents those scenes where a huge crowd of super-powered folks are hammering on the Surfer and he comes through without a scratch. He uses the Power Cosmic to heal himself, and creates Charged tiles to help his teammates. Plus, if he has this power, he can’t be stunned, a first for a playable character.

Cosmic Beam, his Red ability, is about those blasts he shoots from his hands. It does damage and creates Charged tiles.

What are all those Charged tiles good for? Silver Singularity lets you place a black hole on the board that sucks in the tiles around it, dealing damage and generating AP for all the tiles sucked in.

Silver Surfer becomes available September 10th with two more five-star characters planned for October and November.

About:

Fantastic Four Casts Wants Silver Surfer & Namor For Sequel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21581:]]

Will we ever see the Sentinel of the Spaceways on the big screen again?

I would have to say it’s a good bet, especially if the Fantastic Four reboot is somewhat of a success.

While the 2007 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer movie was less than stellar, which I thought was more due to the writing, I was pretty happy with Doug Jones’ performance as the herald of Galactus. The movie actually wouldn’t have turned out that bad if they hadn’t used the Galactus cloud.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21582:]]

Last we heard about the Silver Surfer potentially appearing in a movie was the rumor that Marvel Studios wanted to trade the rights to Daredevil for Silver Surfer and Galactus. It’s possible Marvel wanted to use the cosmic duo in their Infinity War movies against Thanos. Obviously that didn’t happen, and Marvel so far has come out on top as the Netflix Daredevil show is considered a raging success.

So with Fox Studios keeping the rights to Silver Surfer and Galactus, now the Surfer’s name has popped up in relation to a potential Fantastic Four sequel. Jamie Bell, who is playing Ben Grimm, aka The Thing, says he would like to see the Silver Surfer as the next villain.

“You can’t get away from Silver Surfer,” Bell told ComicBook.com. “I know chronologically speaking that was the next villain in the previous franchise but I think Silver Surfer is cool looking.”

While the Fantastic Four movie has been getting some heat online, what I do appreciate about the film is that it’s a more serious take on science-fiction than the previous campy movies — and even Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. A really hard core serious approach with the Surfer would be out of this world.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21583:]]

Now a second potential villain named for the Fantastic Four sequel will be a little more difficult to use than the Silver Surfer. In the same interview, Michael B. Jordan, who plays Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, recommends Namor.

“Namor is a cool one,” Jordan said. “By far, he’s the strongest mutant. You know what I’m saying? Maybe not by far, but he’s the strongest mutant. It would be a pretty interesting battle, the Fantastic Four vs. Namor.”

The issue with Namor is that Fox Studios doesn’t own the rights to the character. Actually, both Universal Studios and Marvel Studios have their hands tied to the character, so unless both studios would agree to lend Fox Namor (which wouldn’t be unheard of as Sony and Marvel have come to a mutual deal for Spider-Man), The Sub-Mariner would be out of the question.

As Jordan notes, Namor has a history with the Fantastic Four, which would be pretty cool on the big screen if we did see the FF taking on Atlantis.

“The classic one where he’s running rampant and the only way he’ll stop is if he gets a kiss from Sue right in front of Reed. It’s awesome. I think that would make for a good movie and storyline.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21584:]]

“Fantastic Four” has an August 7, 2015 release directed by Josh Trank from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater, Simon Kinberg and Josh Trank; produced by Matthew Vaughn, Simon Kinberg, Hutch Parker, Robert Kulzar and Gregory Goodman; starring: Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell.

Synopsis:

FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

James Gunn Wrote A Silver Surfer Movie Treatment

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20309:]]

James Gunn graces the cover to Marvel’s Silver Surfer #11 with a cover blurb.

Gunn posted the pic on his Facebook with mention at one time Fox approached him for a Silver Surfer movie.

Gunn says this was in 1999 before the 2005 Fantastic Four movie and its Silver Surfer sequel, so the FF weren’t included.

Check it out:

Hey my quote is on the cover of this month’s Silver Surfer so pick it up. Little known fact: When I first moved to LA in 1999, one of the first people I met on a meeting was an exec at Fox. He told me they wanted to make a Silver Surfer movie, and I might be right for that, so I wrote an extensive treatment. It was a huge story, cosmic as hell, and featured the Silver Surfer turning on Galactus (but no Fantastic Four – this was before the first FF film). At the same time, I was approached by director Jay Roach and his producer Shauna Robertson about writing a live-action Spy Vs. Spy film. That film seemed more likely to get made, and I loved Jay and Shauna, so I took that gig instead. It was my first studio film job. Of course, in eventuality, neither movie ever got made. But people liked the Spy Vs. Spy script, so I got a lot of work because of it. That said, I sometimes wonder what it would have been like had I truly jumped into the cosmic Marvel pool 16 years ago. Instead, I shall satisfy myself reading the great work of Dan Slott and Mike Allred every month!

James? Any chance there was a Surfer vs Galactus dance off at the end, bro?

Terry Crews Wants To Play Silver Surfer

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18954:]]

With Mike Colter Marvel’s choice of Luke Cage, Terry Crews now states he wants to play another Marvel superhero.

Crews, in a Reddit fan QnA, states it’s the Silver Surfer.

You know?

Again… it’s hard to pick a favorite super-hero. I always did love Luke Cage, and I’m really, really happy about who they cast in the Netflix version of Luke Cage. So that’s something that’s already done. But you know who else I’d like to play? The Silver Surfer. I always LOVED – I thought I had the build, the body, I could get on that surfboard, and if they ever do a live-action version of Silver Surfer, I think that would be perfect for me.

In the comics, the character of Silver Surfer, Norrin Radd, happened to be a white guy, but as we’ve seen recently, the question of color doesn’t really matter.

Michael B. Jordan is playing the Human Torch for Fox, which also owns the rights to Silver Surfer. Perhaps along with the Fantastic Four reboot, a new Silver Surfer could be onboard as well.

PAGE 1
SPLASH!
Giant SPLASH of SILVER SURFER’S head as he surfs through space. His face is in shock—as if he has just heard the most disturbing thing ever.

SURFBOARD LOCATOR: The Milky Way Galaxy.
LOCATOR TEXT: Now.

VOICE (off panel, behind the Surfer. BIG.): Surfer, I’m hungry. Find me a planet.

TITLE: IMPERFECTIONS
CREDITS

Mike, if you don’t want to go that close in on Surfer’s head, feel free to pull back on Surfer as much as you want—as long as DAWN (and every part of her) is cropped out of the shot, so she can be the reveal on the first panel of the next page.

PAGE 2
Panel One
We pull back and see it was DAWN saying that (and not Galactus!). She’s behind SURFER on his surfboard and this is the new status quo: the two of them surfing around the universe—together.
The SURFER stops the board and turns to her with a stern look of disapproval.

SURFER: What?!
DAWN: Um. I said I was hungry. Can you find us a planet?
DAWN: Y’know. Somewhere to eat.

Panel Two
SURFER changes course and starts flying them towards a nearby planet.

SURFER: All right. But don’t ever phrase it like that again.

Panel Three
On that planet, at an alien roadside food-stand, an ALIEN FOOD VENDOR is giving DAWN some bizarre space-sandwich (something tasty looking—we’ll save scary alien food for later in the issue).
SURFER is at the register, he’s holding an alien space-sandwich too. The ALIEN COUNTER LADY is asking SURFER for alien currency to pay for the meal.

Panel Four
The SURFER aims his other hand at the space-sandwich he’s holding—and uses his Power Cosmic to turn it into the same sandwich, but now made out of gold.
The SURFER says that this amount of Rigellan-grade gold should more than cover it.
The ALIEN COUNTER LADY is more than pleased by this transaction.

Panel Five
Moments later, SURFER and DAWN are sitting on a park bench by the food-stand. (Board is leaned up against the bench too.) SURFER is looking up at the night sky. DAWN is munching on the sandwich. 
(Mike, if you want, in the background the FOOD VENDOR and the COUNTER LADY could be dancing a happy jig because they now have a sandwich made out of pure gold. OR they could be fighting each other for it. Or they don’t have to be in the background at all. Your call.)

SURFER: We’ve barely moved at all. I can still see Earth from here.
DAWN: Mmph. Really? I can’t.
SURFER: My eyes are better than yours.

PAGES 3 and 4 (Double Page layout.)
Three tiers of five panels each. Light on text. Heavy on repetition.

TIER ONE
Panel One
With DAWN back on the board with him, SURFER shoots through space—one arm stretching forward—his fingers splayed open! His face excited for the next adventure!

SURFER: Ready, Dawn Greenwood? And we’re OFF!

Panel Two
DAWN taps on his shoulder and tells SURFER they need to make a stop.

DAWN: Norrin, can we make a pit stop? I gotta pee.

Panel Three
Close up of the SURFER’S face. He’s disappointed.

SURFER: Very well.

Panel Four
Cut to an alien gas station. DAWN is coming out of the restroom. Instead of symbols for “Men” and “Women” on the lavatory doors, there’s one for “Humanoid” and one for “Octopoid” (squid-like-alien creatures).
DAWN says she’s ready.

DAWN: Okay. Good to go.

Panel Five
Match shot of Panel One.

SURFER: Ready, Dawn? And we’re OFF!

PAGES 3 and 4 (continued.)

TIER TWO
Panel Six
Match shot of Panel Two. DAWN’S tapping SURFER’S shoulder again.

DAWN: Um. Can we get something to eat?

Panel Seven
SURFER turns to DAWN in disbelief.

SURFER: Again? You just ate.
DAWN: I’m a human. I eat three times a day.

Panel Eight
SILENT PANEL. DAWN, SURFER, and BOARD on a planet by an alien fruit tree. DAWN is eating one of the strange alien fruits.

Panel Nine
Match shot of Panel One. Except now SURFER’S excitement level is a tiny bit dampened.

SURFER: Ready? And we’re OFF!

Panel Ten
Match shot of Panel Two. DAWN taps SURFER’S should again.

DAWN: Bathroom? Number two this time.

PAGES 3 and 4 (continued.)

TIER THREE
Panel Eleven
Match shot of Panel Three. Except now SURFER’S face is frustrated. HE JUST WANTS TO SOAR THROUGH THE SKY! IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?!

SURFER: Fine.

Panel Twelve
Match shot of Panel One. Except the excitement is gone. He just wants to leave.

SURFER: And we’re off.

Panel Thirteen
Match shot of Panel Two. DAWN taps SURFER’S shoulder.

DAWN: Dinner?

Panel Fourteen
Close up of DAWN eating some really creepy small animal creature… deep fried… on a stick.
It does not look appetizing. DAWN eats it to be polite.

Panel Fifteen
Match shot of Panel One… except now DAWN (or her hand if we’re closer in) is tapping SURFER on the shoulder.

SURFER: And we’re—
DAWN: Surfer?

PAGE 5
Panel One
An exasperated SURFER turns to DAWN and asks her “What now?!”
DAWN is rubbing her throat with one of her hands and winces in discomfort.

SURFER: What now?!
DAWN: Ooh. I think it’s my tonsils.
DAWN: We might have to go back to Earth.

Panel Two
Shot of the two of them standing there on the board. Floating in space. Not going anywhere. DAWN is still rubbing her sore throat. And SURFER is simmering. He’s had enough.

SURFER: “Back to Earth”?
DAWN: Yeah. So I can see my doctor and get this checked out—

Panel Three
SILENT PANEL
CLOSE UP on SURFER as he holds one of his hands out, palm-side up, and he starts charging it up with the Power Cosmic.

Panel Four
SILENT PANEL
Like the Vision or Kitty Pride, the SURFER takes his Cosmically Charged Hand (still palm-side up) and phases it inside DAWN’S throat.
DAWN’S face is wide-eyed with shock!

Panel Five
SILENT PANEL
The SURFER pulls his still Cosmically Charged Hand (still palm-side up) out of DAWN’S throat.
Levitating above his palm, held in little spheres of Cosmic Energy, are both of Dawn’s tonsils.

PAGE 6
Panel One
A flabbergasted DAWN starts yelling at SURFER… who doesn’t know exactly what it was he did that set her off. He stands there with Dawn’s tonsils still levitating above his outstretched hand.

DAWN: WHAT DID YOU DO?!
SURFER: I removed your tonsils. Now we don’t have to go back to—
DAWN: WHO SAID YOU COULD DO THAT?!
SURFER: What? I used the Power Cosmic. There was no pain. You’re perfectly fine. I don’t see what the—

Panel Two
DAWN stops yelling. She’s stern now. Her eyes narrowing. And this should feel worse than being yelled at.
SURFER is feeling very ill at ease. He moves his hand (with Dawn’s tonsils still levitating over them) towards Dawn’s throat. Like he’s about to put them back in, but he’s not sure if he should.

DAWN: That was so not cool.
SURFER: Should I put them back?
DAWN: No.
SURFER: So… What is the problem exactly?

Panel Three
SILENT PANEL
DAWN glares at SURFER. And he winces, knowing he’s done something wrong… but he’s still not sure what that is…
Maybe traveling through space with an Earthgirl wasn’t the smartest thing to do…

Panel Four
Straight on shot of DAWN (as if we’re seeing it from SURFER’S P.O.V.). 
She’s defiantly crossed her arms.
Her face is locked into a VERY angry pout.
Her eyes are GLARING.
And she says one thing.

DAWN: Ice cream.

Panel Five
Side shot of the two of them. DAWN is locked in the same pose and expression from the previous panel.

SURFER: Come again?
DAWN: Ice cream. When you get your tonsils out…
DAWN: You. Get. Ice Cream.

PAGE 7
Panel One
SURFER thinks this is crazy, but DAWN won’t budge.

SURFER: But you’re perfectly fine. My Power Cosmic healed all the tissue. 
SURFER: You’re better than before. You don’t need any—
DAWN: Ice cream. 
DAWN: You, Norrin Radd, owe me ice cream.

Panel Two
The SURFER throws up his hands in futility. And DAWN smirks, knowing that she’s won this round.

SURFER: FINE! I will use my COSMIC SENSES and find you THE GREATEST ICE CREAM IN THE UNIVERSE!

Panel Three
DAWN holds on as the SURFER zips through the cosmos at insane speeds! The SURFER’S eyes glow with power, surround by Kirby Krackle as he tries to detect where in the universe one can find the greatest ice cream ever!

Panel Four
The SURFER points towards a planet in the solar system that they’re entering.

SURFER: THERE!

 

PAGE 8
SPLASH PAGE.
A few minutes later…
DAWN and SURFER are sitting in a cosmic malt-shop on PLANET PRIME. And DAWN is eating—with awe and delicious wonder—the GREATEST ICE CREAM IN THE UNIVERSE! OH DEAR, GOD, it is soooooooo good!!! 
SURFER is smiling. For all their bickering, he’s glad he’s made her so happy, and he remembers why he enjoys her company.

IMPORTANT: All the aliens here are from Planet Prime and they are all from the same species—the same blue-skinned species that WARRIOR ONE is from (the alien Surfer is fighting on the cover to SILVER SURFER #6).
All the aliens of Planet Prime are all masters of one discipline– or someone who is the 2nd best master of that discipline. All of them wear a GOLDEN BADGE over their heart that has either a large “1” or “2” on it.
Prominently in the shot, near SURFER and DAWN, is the owner of the cosmic malt-shop and the maker of the greatest ice cream in the universe. His badge has a “1” on it. And he is… ICE CREAM MAKER ONE.

SURFBOARD LOCATOR: Planet Prime.
LOCATOR TEXT: That time Norrin got Dawn the Greatest Ice Cream In The Universe.
DAWN: OhhhhmygodthisisAMAZING!
DAWN: You HAVE to silver down and try this.
SURFER: Maybe later. Are we good now, Dawn Greenwood?
DAWN: YES! YES! YES! Uhhhh!

PAGE 9
Panel One
Moments later…
Between panels, the Surfer turned his ice cream sundae to gold. NOW, in this panel, SURFER pays ICE CREAM MAKER ONE with the golden sundae. ICE CREAM MAKER ONE thinks that’s very generous!
In the background, another alien in the malt-shop suspicious watches this transaction take place. She is BANKER ONE, the greatest banker and financial mind on Planet Prime.

Panel Two
Closer in on BANKER ONE. She pulls out the Planet Prime version of a cell phone and contacts someone about her fears about the Surfer. She says she had to call this in right away. Their entire planet is in peril!

Panel Three (big panel)
Big establishing shot of the bustling main street of the capital city of Planet Prime. 
SURFER, BOARD, and DAWN step outside of the door of malt-shop and onto the street. DAWN marvels at how perfect everything is.
These are the most perfectly constructed buildings and shops anywhere in the Universe. What is this place?

Panel Four (inset panel)
TOUR GUIDE ONE, the ultimate tour guide in the universe, approaches DAWN, SURFER, and BOARD, introduces himself and says that he can help explain.
DAWN says that his timing is perfect.
“Of course it is,” he tells her, “On Planet Prime, we’re all perfect.”

PAGE 10
Panel One
TOUR GUIDE ONE explains that here on Planet Prime they have a small population, only a small city’s worth, and every being here dedicates themselves to one discipline and masters it. These buildings were designed by ARCHITECT ONE, built by BUILDER ONE, and painted by PAINTER ONE.

Panel Two
As they walk along they pass STREET DANCER ONE who is doing the most perfect spinning-on-her-head move ever while street dancing to an alien beat-box. A small crowd is applauding. DAWN and SURFER stop to applaud too.

Panel Three
FOCUS on STREET DANCER ONE as she stops to wave to the crowd and thank them. We can clearly see her “1” badge.
In the background, DAWN asks if that means there’s a Street Dancer Two?

Panel Four
TOUR GUIDE ONE explains that there are Twos, Threes, sometimes even Fours. But those are mainly for emergency’s-sake. To fill in if a One is sick, injured, or passes away in an untimely fashion.
It is the nature of the Primeans to excel and accept nothing short of perfection. It is the rare Primean who can bear the burden of being anything less.
“We are a very driven lot,” he concludes.

Panel Five
THE SURFER thinks that is a very admirable lifestyle. A society of perfect people… so much better than the alternative.

PAGE 11
Panel One
BANKER ONE comes running into frame! She’s wagging a finger at SURFER and telling him to stay right there! He’s about to face the full force of Primean justice—and for what he’s done to their perfect planet!
SURFER is confused. He doesn’t know what’s going on.

Panel Two
TOUR GUIDE ONE intercedes on the Surfer’s behalf. He asks BANKER ONE what she’s going on about.
BANKER ONE pulls out the golden sundae! She says the Surfer has been transmuting elements on their planet!

Panel Three
Close up on BANKER ONE and the golden sundae. She explains that Surfer has been creating rare and precious metals! By increasing the supply of Rigellian gold, he has DEVALUED the rest!
This alien is destroying their planet’s very economy!

Panel Four
The SURFER thinks this is absurd. Whatever. He tells DAWN that they’re leaving.
BANKER ONE says they can’t go! She’s called in the authorities on them! TOUR GUIDE ONE can’t believe that she’d bother Constable One for such a minor infraction.

Panel Five
All of them are covered in shadow as something BIG flies in off panel above them. The engines of the off panel ship kick up dust—as well as make everyone’s clothes and hair blow about.
BANKER ONE says that she didn’t call in the police. This isn’t a domestic matter. That man’s an alien! This threat is the first move in an alien invasion! She called in the military!
“No!” says TOUR GUIDE ONE, “tell me you did not call in—“

PAGE 12
Panel One
Worm’s eye view as SURFER, DAWN, and the others in the street look up to see WARRIOR ONE’S Drop Ship come in—and WARRIOR ONE himself repelling out of it—announcing his arrival in a fierce battle cry!
“WARRRRRIOR ONE!”

Panel Two
WARRIOR ONE lands in an intimidating stance—already drawing an insanely huge alien-rifle! He tells the alien invaders to surrender, disarm all weapons, and put their hands in the air! NOW!

Panel Three
SURFER puts his hands up in the air and tells DAWN to do the same—which she does.
SURFER says this all just a misunderstanding and he’s sure they can sort it all out—

Panel Four
Cut to a point of view shot from WARRIOR ONE’S P.O.V.
Just like seeing something from The Terminator’s P.O.V. in TERMINATOR, we see all kinds of energy readouts and scans of SURFER and DAWN…
…and the energy coming off of THE SURFER—the core of his body—and each of his hands—is IMMENSE! The Power Cosmic (in both THE SURFER and BOARD) is reading as a weapon of Near-Infinite destructive power.

PAGES 13 and 14 (Double Page Layout)
Panel One
WARRIOR ONE yells at SURFER telling him to disarm! He can see that he’s still armed to the hilt!
SURFER, his hands still in the air tries to explain that Warrior One is reading his Power Cosmic, and he can’t shut his Power Cosmic off because—

Panel Two
WARRIOR ONE fires his MASSIVE WEAPON at SILVER SURFER blasting him back through the buildings on the street! MASSIVE JACK KIRBY-STYLE ACTION! KA-CHOOOOOOOM!
Everyone on the street crouches and shields their eyes from the blast!
BOARD zips over to DAWN and acts as a shield just in case!

Panel Three
DAWN looks at BOARD. We can see BOARD “talking” to Dawn by being Dawn’s reflection. The reflection of Dawn in the board looks nervous, as if he’s worrying if she’s all right.
“Thanks, Board,” says DAWN, “I’m fine. Go to him. Help Norrin. Okay?”

Panel Four
BOARD zips off to help his master… flying away from DAWN and the others and into the hole/destruction in the buildings where the Surfer was blasted through.

Panel Five
And WARRIOR ONE watches in disbelief as the SURFER on his BOARD flies out of the wreckage, his clenched fists glowing with the Power Cosmic!

Panel Six
In a mighty blast of energy, the SURFER shoots WARRIOR ONE’S gun out of his hands!

Panel Seven
WARRIOR ONE runs headlong towards the SURFER and leaps up. He laughs and tells the SURFER that he doesn’t need a gun to take him on…

Panel Eight
…he is WARRIOR ONE! The Perfect Soldier! He IS the ultimate weapon!
WARRIOR ONE lands on the BOARD and immediately begins grappling with SURFER.

PAGE 15
Panels One, Two, and Three
The BOARD spirals around in a corkscrew loop trying to shake WARRIOR ONE, but he seems unaffected.
In Panel One, while they spin around, SURFER tries to punch WARRIOR ONE with a glowing Power Cosmic fist, but WARRIOR ONE blocks it!

In Panel Two, WARRIOR ONE throws a punch…

And in Panel Three, he connects, snapping SURFER’S head back.

Panel Four
Back on the street, REPAIRMAN ONE shows up saying he can start fixing these buildings right away…
But SAFETY INSPECTOR ONE is there—with a bullhorn—and they tell everyone that they have to get off the street until the battle’s over.
Standing by BANKER ONE and TOUR GUIDE ONE, DAWN says she’s not going anywhere till she’s sure NORRIN and BOARD are okay.

PAGE 16
Panel One
SURFER and WARRIOR ONE continue to fight on top of BOARD as they zip through the skyline of Planet Prime!

Panel Two
Even when SURFER lands a blow, it doesn’t seem to have an effect on WARRIOR ONE at all!
SURFER says he’s met and heard of many champions from planets in this sector. This Warrior One is just like a Battlejack of Jackstar9.

Panel Three
As WARRIOR ONE continues to land blows—and hurt—the SILVER SURFER, he laughs.
“A Battlejack of Jackstar 9?” he scoffs, “They dream of dying in battle. A Warrior One’s fate is to die in his bed—because he WINS every battle he’s ever in!”

Panel Four
WARRIOR ONE begins to choke the SURFER—and the SURFER can’t break his grip! This soldier from Planet Prime, this “Warrior One”, might just be the man who finally kills him! NORRIN doesn’t know what to do!

PAGE 17
Panel One (Big Panel)
Back on the street, it’s chaos. STREET CLEANER ONE wants to clear away the rubble, but SAFETY INSPECTOR ONE is yelling at him through his bullhorn to get off the street. 
BANKER ONE and REPAIRMAN ONE are calculating how much this is all going to cost to fix.
TOUR GUIDE ONE is showing people the destruction that was just caused in Warrior One’s latest battle.
ICE CREAM MAKER ONE sees that DAWN is distraught and offers her some ice cream to cheer her up. DAWN is flabbergasted. She doesn’t want ice cream now…

Panel Two
DAWN asks if anyone is going to do anything?! REPAIRMAN ONE says he’d love to help, but look at this mess. It’s going to take him weeks. This is way more than a one man job.
Standing next to REPAIRMAN ONE is REPAIRMAN TWO. He says “and I can’t help with that because I’m Repairman Two.”

Panel Three
DAWN says that’s insane! None of this makes any sense at all! Standing next to her is a WOMAN in a uniform that’s identical to WARRIOR ONE’S. Except she has a badge that says “2”.
“Tell me about it,” says WARRIOR TWO, “He didn’t even proper procedure. I’d stop him. But what can I do. I’m just Warrior Two.”

Panel Four
SILENT PANEL
DAWN turns and looks at WARRIOR TWO in shock and disbelief.

Panel Five
DAWN has a “eureka moment.” She knows what to do! She grabs the bullhorn away from SAFETY INSPECTOR ONE… 

PAGE 18
Panel One
CLOSE UP on DAWN as she holds up the bullhorn and calls out to Norrin!

Panel Two
As SURFER continues to be choked by WARRIOR ONE, he hears Dawn tell him that Warrior One’s weak spot is his badge! Take out his badge!

Panel Three
Cut to SURFER’S hand grabbing WARRIOR ONE’S badge and using his Power Cosmic to start melting it…

Panel Four
Match shot as the badge is destroyed.

Panel Five
Cut to WARRIOR TWO… as her badge starts to morph from a “2” badge…

Panel Six
…into a “1” badge.

PAGE 19
Panel One
WARRIOR ONE releases his grip and stares down in shock in horror. He asks the SURFER, “What have you done?!”

Panel Two
Cut to DAWN standing next to the woman who is now the NEW WARRIOR ONE. That WARRIOR ONE is now holding the bullhorn and she orders the previous Warrior One to stand down.

Panel Three
Later…
Everyone is standing on the street. The NEW WARRIOR ONE tells SURFER & DAWN that while the Primeans settle things down here, it’s probably for the best if the two of them leave.
DAWN asks if the Previous Warrior One is now the New Warrior Two.
The NEW WARRIOR ONE says that it doesn’t work that way.
The PREVIOUS WARRIOR ONE looks devastated. He stands there in shock and dismay.

Panel Four
He looks up at SILVER SURFER with scorn in his eyes, he says that no one on Planet Prime has EVER lost their badge of office before. There is no precedent for it. From now on… he is an outcast. He is WARRIOR ZERO.
And he will have his revenge. SURFER has made a powerful enemy this day.

Panel Five
SURFER says he understands how that works. SURFER tells DAWN to join him on the board. It’s time they were leaving.

PAGE 20 
Panel One
After a choppy start, SURFER and DAWN have finally had their first big adventure since leaving Earth. And now they’re ready to head out into the cosmos to whatever’s waiting for them next!
With PLANET PRIME right behind them, SURFER, DAWN, and BOARD soar into space. SURFER’S outstretched arm and hand are in the same pose as they were back on PAGE TWO in Panel One.

SURFER: Ready, Dawn? And we’re OFF—

Panel Two
DAWN taps him on the shoulder and asks him to wait.

DAWN: Surfer? Wait.

Panel Three
SURFER is about to uncork and lose it—but he stops himself. If this last adventure has shown him anything, it’s that there’s a very real danger to single-mindedness.

SURFER: Great Galaxies! What do you—
SURFER: Sorry.
SURFER: What is it, Dawn?

Panel Four
DAWN points off panel behind them. All kinds of colorful lights are coming in from that direction.
SURFER looks behind him—and sees all the colorful lights too. Lights that he would have missed if he just kept surfing and staring forward.

DAWN: What’s that?
SURFER: That… is a five star system… 
SURFER: …going through a synchronous supernova cascade.

Panel Five
The SURFER puts his hands on DAWN’S shoulders as the two of them continue stare at the off panel lights.
DAWN can’t see the SURFER’S face behind her. He looks blissful—on the verge of crying because he’s happy.

SURFER: A pentagonal cascade happens once in a millennia. Never thought I’d see—
SURFER (small): And I would have flown straight past it.
DAWN: Can we stay and watch?
SURFER: Yes, please.

PAGE 21
SPLASH

Five stars go supernova, their blast patterns interweaving to form celestial art.
SURFER and DAWN float in space. Small figures sitting side-by-side on the surfboard, their legs dangling over the edge, and their backs to the readers.
They watch together, like people enjoying a fireworks display.

In SURFER’S captions he thinks that it wasn’t perfect.
Some moments are better than perfect.

Thanos: The Infinity Relativity OGN Announced By Jim Starlin

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:17914:]]

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:17926:]]

Marvel has announced Jim Starlin’s next original graphic novel with Thanos: The Infinity Relativity, which pits Thanos and an unlikely band of allies against the likes of Annihilus.

The new story hits June 2015 picking up on the recent Starlin The Infinity Revelation OGN as well as the upcoming Thanos vs. Hulk story.

In addition to Thanos, The Infinity Relativity will feature Adam Warlock, the Guardians of the Galaxy, The Silver Surfer, Gladiator and the reunited Infinity Watch as the motley crew are set to take on the king bug from the Negative Zone, Annihilus.

In an interview with Marvel.com, Starlin offers the following details:

Annihilus is after something in RELATIVITY and Thanos wants to keep him from getting it. The trouble is the Titan will need Warlock to thwart Annihilus’ ambitions. But, as you may recall, the Titan and Adam didn’t part on the best of terms: something about Thanos destroying everything Warlock held dear. So there may be a bit of cosmic groveling in this tale.

…this is going to be a much more reality based story than REVELATION was. Annihilus is in the tale and he likes breaking things. He’s bigger and badder than he’s ever been before, so expect the carnage level to be high. Expect the Titan to be double dealing. Expect Warlock to be confused. Expect the Guardians to be humorous. And expect the unexpected from Pip. I can say no more.

Watch The 1992 Silver Surfer Fan-Film & 1980s Concept Art

Have you seen this before?

It’s a Silver Surfer fan-film that was put together back in 1992 by two students from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

It was shortly completed after Terminator 2, and shows similar CGI footage with the body made of metal. We even see Norrin Radd use the Power Cosmic.

Of course, Silver Surfer debuted on the big screen in 2005 with Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, played by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne.

At one time, a Silver Surfer movie was even being planned in the ‘80s (see art below) with the producers on the project stating they planned to make the film an epic picture on the scope of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It was recently rumored that Marvel Studios was after both the Silver Surfer and Galactus in exchange for Fox Studios keeping the rights to Daredevil; however, obviously that didn’t happened. At the time, it was speculated Marvel may have wanted Silver Surfer and Galactus for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Perhaps with the new Josh Trank Fantastic Four reboot, the Surfer will fly the spaceways once more.

Richard Rider Nova Guardians of the Galaxy Post-Credit Scene? Exclusive Details

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:15861:]]

It’s being speculated that Richard Rider Nova might be featured in the post-credit scene for Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Nova Corps are featured in the movie in addition to Rhomann Dey (who in the comics gives Nova his powers).

Another contender could be Rider’s replacement, Sam Alexander, who Rider fans dub “NINO” – Nova In Name Only.

Marvel Comics cancelled the 2008 Guardians of the Galaxy comic book when they heard a movie was getting made, even though both James Gunn and Kevin Feige credit the writers, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (DnA), as the inspiration for the movie.

Abnett and Lanning also penned Nova at the time, which featured Richard Rider, and that was cancelled, too.

Yeah, we are thinking the same thing – Marvel Comics must be a nice place to work for when it fires its writers who inspire billion dollar movies (they are also cancelling the Fantastic Four comics).

Anyway, our Guardians of the Galaxy “mysterious” source has filled us in on a few Nova details from the movie.

Spoilers follow.

The source previously told us the Stan Lee cameo, a Star-Lord/Ronan/Thanos scene, as well as news about the reshoots.

Regarding Richard Rider, we are told he’s not in the movie. We’re also told that there is no Quasar, Beta Ray Bill or Silver Surfer (it was said at one time Marvel was trying to get Surfer and Galactus back from Fox).

We’re also told that Xandar doesn’t get blown up. We have to give James Gunn credit for not going the easy route and destroying Xandar, as it’s a commonly used plot device in the comics. We’re told either Ronan or Thanos make an attempt, but it doesn’t happen. We’re guessing Ronan because he has some kind of religious complex and is said to be on a holy war against the Xandarians.

It’s possible Nova (hopefully Richard Rider) could be featured in the post-credit scene. I’m waiting for info in regards to that.

Latino Review says they know the Guardians of the Galaxy post-credit scene(who confirmed our Stan Lee cameo exclusive for us). Is it Nova?:

If Marvel Studios does decide to go with Nova, we have faith they will use Richard Rider based on what Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada said about the comics relating to the movies:

 “Really, you have to start with the loyalists,” Quesada said. “If the loyalists reject it, then we feel that everyone is going to reject it.”

Update: A strong possibility could be Adam Warlock as well.

Update #2: A second tweet was posted stating it’s Richard Rider:

“Guardians of the Galaxy” has an August 1, 2014 release.
