Silver Surfer: Reqiuem

I just read this book in one sitting last night and wanted to write up something about it. Requiem is a wonderful little mini and even though I have next to no knowledge of the Surfer I adored it. Esad Ribic did a great job yet again and I'm glad I've been following this guy since the Loki mini. His paintings continue to impress and he seems to be growing as a sequential storyteller. Unlike Loki however, this one has a fascinating story and resonates emotionally thanks to J. Michael Stracszynski's writing. This is sort of a What If? story about the Surfer's last days and it hits you like an aluminum bat to the back of the head. Consider me a fan.
