Review/plot:
This issue extends the fight from Infinity Crusade #3 between the Silver Surfer and Firelord. But that fight was already nicely depicted in a few succinct pages by Ron Lim, and we really didn't need it to get dragged out by guest artist Cully Hamner.

So how to fill the rest of the pages in this issue? Why, with yet another DREEEEEEAAAAAM SEEEEEEEEQUENCE...

In this case it's a flashback showing the Surfer and Shalla Bal immediately after her resurrection.

The sequence adds literally nothing to the reasoning that kept the characters apart after Resurrection, so it has no purpose.

At the end, we see Thanos getting ready to contact the Surfer, from the beginning of Infinity Cruade #4.

Quality Rating: D

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: This takes place mostly during the fight between Firelord and the Silver Surfer #3. The very end arguably takes place during the very beginning of Infinity Crusade #4 where Thanos is observing the Surfer, but i'm placing this between #3-4 (i.e. it could show the start of Thanos' observation before the beginning of #4).

References:

  • We saw the fight between Silver Surfer and Firelord in Infinity Crusade #3.
  • The flashback takes place soon after Silver Surfer/Warlock: Resurrection #1-4, which reversed Shalla Bal's death from Silver Surfer: Homecoming.

Crossover: Infinity Crusade

Continuity Insert? N

My Reprint: N/A
