Preview for #2 out before #1 is even released? I want to see the teaser, but I don't want to spoil #1.

Edit: After Pak reassured me no spoilers, I clicked and am quite excited for this issue and event. I'm fearing that my expectations may be building up too high.

The "God Squad" funny name :)

Me no likey Khoi Pam. Its nice to see the silver surfer get smacked in the face though. I hate that whiny little *itch.

[Maestro Hulk]

Silver Surfer vs Thor and Hercules

A dream fight. Can't wait for this one.

[Hulk_Is]

Looks more coherent than the issue #1 teasers I must say. Good lookin' fight, but if I know Pak it'll only last for three pages. Lame if so.

Silver Surfer vs Thor and Hercules

A dream fight. Can't wait for this one.

It'll probably just be Greg Pak basically saying "See now how awesome Hercules is now. He can totally beat Silver Surfer now because totally mega-super awesome. You should buy this book to see how awesome Hercules totally beats Silver Surfer."

...I'm cynical regarding Greg Pak's ability to write Silver Surfer.

...I'm cynical regarding Greg Pak's ability to write Silver Surfer.

I thought he wrote him well in Planet Hulk.

You've got to think.....after all the Annihilation fights, the War of the Kings fallout, the stuff with the Rift and the Cancerverse, Galactus has to be just about sick of this $h!t.

The next big event needs to end with Galactus showing up, popping the big bad into his mouth like a McNugget, giving everyone the stink eye, then teleporting everyone's asses home without saying a word.

[Dark Soul # 7]

I thought he wrote him well in Planet Hulk.

Notice how everytime he brings in Silver Surfer it's to have the hero of the story beat Surfer up. He did with Hulk. He did it with Skaar. Now I suspect that he's gonna do it with Hercules.

That's what bugging me.

[andybmcd]

To be fair, in the Hulk storyline, he was severely weakened by the transport through the wormhole. Also, Surfer was responsible for freeing all of them from slave discs after Hulk broke his.

I never cared about the Skaar stuff.

Edit: I did a quick wiki about Skaar and it doesn't mention a fight, so maybe there was a very brief one?

[tassa_kay]

Besides, Skaar did beat the (weakened) Surfer... and then the Surfer pwned him once the obedience disk was gone. So let's not play the jobbing game, because the circumstances were extenuating and the Surfer got his licks in, too.

I am probably going to read this series and hopefully like it but I am so sad that Marvel is giving such a huge push with tie ins with big creative teams and lots of press when Thanos Imperative is rarely mentioned and possibly being used to cancel titles.

[Superhero Squaddie]

Silver Surfer vs. both Thor and Hercules? Sorry, but he doesn't stand a chance in this match; though I am looking forward to seeing it. I also think that Pham is improving in his ability, many of these panels look really good. I really don't care for those computer-generated images though; I would much prefer a well-penciled cover. Also, Hercules with a cape just seems odd, especially since he chided Sentry for the use of a cape when they fought in his series a couple of years ago.

The tentacles coming out of the sky were strangely reminiscent of the whole Void / Sentry thing from Siege to me.
