Product Description: The Silver Surfer delves alone into the furthest depths of the void - tangling with organ-stealing pirates, demonic beasts, and a race of alien aristocrats. Everyone's favorite Cosmic Wanderer discovers that even in the midst of a galactic utopia, horror is never far away. Featuring electrifying artwork by the dynamic Tan Eng Huat (Doom Patrol, Batman) and an endlessly inventive script by Simon Spurrier - the writer behind the sold-out Gutsville! Collects Silver Surfer: In Thy Name #1-4.
As good as Requiem, if not better. I feel compelled to write a review for this, seeing is how it's probably my favourite Silver Surfer story ever. Requiem, which is another amazing book, but seems to get all the attention while In Thy Name is forgotten, perhaps because it came out in the shadow of Requiem.
Regardless, In Thy Name is a touching look into Surfer's outsider nature and how he views life. The abstract and unique artstyle only help to illustrate (pun) the unquantifiable nature of life itself, as this book demonstrates. The ending is quite depressing and just shows how pathetic civilizations can be and how people (or aliens in this case, but they're interchangeable with humans anyways) will always find a way to hate others and go to war with them.
This is a must buy for any Surfer fan or anyone who just enjoys a good story in general.
