The success of the previous volume of Silver Surfer was almost entirely due to the creative partnership between writer Dan Slott, artist Michael Allred and colorist Laura Allred. If any one piece of that equation wasn't still present for the relaunch, Marvel might have been better off shelving the character for a while. But the whole gang is back, and as a result Silver Surfer remains as colorful and appealing as ever.
Not that the previous volume was ever very hard to dive into, but Slott and company use this relaunch as a way of offering a clean gateway into the book. The issue opens as Norrin and Dawn return to Earth after a long absence and reconnect with Dawn's family. That reunion becomes complicated when a group of aliens arrive and try to steal every last tidbit of art and pop culture from the planet. It's a neat, lighthearted, high-concept premise that makes the series' Doctor Who influences that much more obvious. There's not a tremendous sense of danger to the conflict. The creators focus more on celebrating the power of art and story and cramming in as many fun cameos as possible (including nods to everything from The Matrix to Harry Potter to even Zardoz).
