Reviews with the most likes.
I've always enjoyed the Silver Surfer, and Mike Allred is always fabulous, but what moved this to the top of my list the negative reviews I was reading on comics sites, wherein people complained that it was similar to Doctor Who.
And in some ways it was similar to Doctor Who - there's an enigmatic, powerful alien who has a device that he uses to adventure across space with his young and cool human companion. Slott writes the relationship between the Surfer and Dawn (the aforementioned companion) in a style that's not dissimilar to Stephen Moffat, as well. But, I would argue, that the result feels as much like Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four as it does anything else. The characters are solid, their motivations are relatable, and their adventures are cosmic and supercool.
If you're a fan of wacky, campy sci-fi adventuring, this is something you should definitely be checking out.
