Media Release

The solicit for Silver Surfer #14 reads: “Please join us for one final trip around the universe.” April’s issue of Silver Surfer #10 is estimated to have sold around 15K, which means the title has been long overdue to get cancelled.

I prefer my Marvel COSMIC to have serious writing and photorealistic art (similar to…
