Silver Surfer is an interesting character that's had a bit of a tricky relationship towards the rest of the Marvel universe. He's cosmic, and alien, full of sleekness and speed, but given the nature of a shared Marvel universe, he spent a lot of time trapped on Earth, which eventually started to become a major limitation on the character.

Englehart tosses all that aside, returning the Surfer to his cosmic roots and using him as a tool to explore the intergalactic portion of the MU. There's lots of stuff here - a new Kree-Skrull war, soul gems, the In-Betweener, Galactus, and the Elders of the Universe to name a handful. If you're a fan of Marvel's cosmic stuff - especially as done by individuals such as Starlin or Marz, both of whom followed Englehart on this title - this is a great book to check out.
