It's the Silver Surfer 50th anniversary issue, and consequently, more of a celebration of the series itself. It has a more than usual retro-feeling about it, and Dan Slott and Michael Allred do a great job of writing Silver Surfer's dialogue, which is thoroughly spot-on and topped with some great dry humor throughout.While The Thing is great fun in this one, and helps to balance the comic out in terms of its tone, other characters, however, did not receive quite the same love. Especially Dawn Greenwood and Alicia Masters are written slightly subpar. Their dialogue is, even when considering the underlying irony, way too stale at times.
Laura Allred, however, does an outstanding job of playfully coloring the comic, and it's notably the arrival of the Avengers and the final scene that offer amazing art and scope and make a somewhat odd Silver Surfer #3 a satisfying affair after all.
