Tom, I am really excited for Silver Surfer. Mr. Slott is immensely talented and this series should prove to be one of his greatest achievements. I am not sure if I need to read anything in preparation... I have always found the character to be interesting but completely lacking in personality or depth (which I trust Mr. Slott is capable of bringing). I have no idea what Silver Surfer was even last up to. Any ideas on where to start for back-readers?
