The Sentinel of the Spaceways plays a central role in Marvel’s greatest cosmic epic!
Thanos is back from the grave. Empowered and charged by Death herself to bring the universe to its knees, he sets out to gather the Infinity Stones, gems of ultimate power. The noble Silver Surfer is the only being capable of stopping the Mad Titan’s plan — but Thanos is a schemer, and even Galactus’ former herald may prove wanting in the face of such evil. It’s a race against time as the Surfer streaks across the cosmos on a mad dash to get to Earth and warn the heroes that Thanos has returned. But can they stop the Mad Titan from using the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half of all life across the cosmos? In the aftermath, the Surfer faces Midnight, the Inhumans, the Collector and the Guardians of the Galaxy! But how will he come face to face with Captain Mar-Vell?!

Jim Starlin introduced not only Thanos but also Shang-Chi and many other memorable characters. After seemingly killing both Adam Warlock and Thanos in one of Marvel’s earlier multi-title cosmic arcs — for which he won two Eagle Awards — Starlin wrote Marvel’s first graphic novel, The Death of Captain Marvel. Returning to Marvel to write Silver Surfer, he resurrected Adam Warlock and Thanos, both of whom figured prominently in a veritable franchise of miniseries he wrote and/or penciled: Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War, Infinity Crusade, Infinity Abyss and more, plus the Warlock and the Infinity Watch and Thanos monthlies. Starlin continued to chart the saga of the Mad Titan in a recent series of original graphic novels.
Ron Marz broke into comics in the early '90s with a lengthy run on Marvel’s Silver Surfer, followed by a stint on DC’s Green Lantern, where he co-created Kyle Rayner. In 2000, Marz joined the creative team at CrossGen, working on Sojourn, Mystic, The Path and Scion, among others. He also had an acclaimed run on Top Cow’s Witchblade which lasted nearly a decade. He has recently returned to Marvel, writing Silver Surfer: Rebirth.
After establishing himself on Eternity’s Ex-Mutants and First’s Badger, Ron Lim went cosmic with a six-year penciling run on Silver Surfer, followed by a collaboration with Jim Starlin on the Warlock/Thanos Infinity multi-miniseries saga. With writer Tom DeFalco, he helped create the look and characters of the MC2 universe, while he explored a different Marvel future during a 35-issue run on X-Men 2099. Lim’s other Marvel credits include Captain America, Spider-Man Unlimited and Venom: Lethal Protector.
