WOW! it is now a new year. 2017 is here and what a weird year we just had. So much political changes in the world, however, this is not the blog to talk about that. You are here to talk about comics, so comics is what I will talk about.

The last month has been super crazy busy with Christmas, my birthday; 29 Years young. and of course the new year. That has not stopped me from picking up some great little comics for the collection so hold your hats as I have been very busy.

So let’s get into this month’s haul.

The Essential Silver Surfer Volume 1, #1 – #18

This soft back collection pulls together all 18 issues of Silver Surfer Volume 1 and Fantastic Four Annual #5.

This is a great collection for people to pick up if they can not afford the hefty price tag of the individual trades and want to get to know Silver Surfer in all its original glory.

Epic Collection: Silver Surfer – When Calls Galactus

Now this is a story arch I have been waiting to read for a long time. I wanted to wait and purchase the original trades but that is still a way off for me at this stage. So when I got an amazon voucher for my birthday from my sister I decided it was time to pick this up and one other; ‘Silver Surfer: Freedom’ which at the time of writing this has not arrived yet.

This soft paperback collates Fantastic Four #48-50, 55-61, 72, 74-77, Annual #5 & Tales to astonish #92-93

I am definitely going to write about my experience with this trade so please keep an eye out for that coming soon.

Silver Surfer Vol 4, Parable #1 – 2

This famous 2 issue mini-series written by Stan Lee and drawn by the amazing and legendary Mœbius was later collected as Silver Surfer: Parable.

I have always loved the artwork of Mœbius and if I had any more room on my walls I would definitely have these covers blown up and hanging proudly.

What do you think of these covers, let me know in the comics?

The Defenders #99, 101

I know, I know there is only 1 comic in this picture but I forgot to take one of issue 99.
