Title: Disappointing
Product review: I had really looked forward to this. When this first came out, Byrne was near the top of his game and he was combining the New Gods with Galactus and the Silver Sufer. Unfortunately, the final product proved to be kind of sloppy. First, the Silver Surfer's entire purpose is to find worlds suitable for Galactus to consume and for some reason he couldn't tell that Apokolips didn't meet the basic criteria. That just sort of ruined the whole thing for me. Second, and less important, is that the Surfer is portrayed as too powerful for Orion to defeat. Based on my familiarity with both characters from years of reading comics, I'd have done it the other way around, with Orion pretty much mopping the floor with the Surfer.Artwork is very good, which sort of makes up for the glaring problem with the story I mentioned above. Worth having on the shelf, if only for Byrne's respectful treatment of Jack Kirby's amazing creations.
