Silver Surfer meets Jeff Spicoli
The Defenders mini-series by Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire wrapped up last week. It was pretty funny, although I think they forced the bickering between Dr. Strange, Hulk, and Namor. How many times do we need to hear that Namor is PRINCE Namor or that he detests Dr. Strange? Those jokes got old for a while. I'll always remember the scene with Hulk boinking Umar. Kevin Maguire's artwork was totally awesome.
We kept waiting for the Silver Surfer to leave the beach bonfire and come to the rescue of the Big Three. It never happened! He partied with the surfer dudes for the entire story--I think this is the first time I've seen Norrin Radd hang out with actual surfers. We got this soliloquy on the last page, which is this weird combination of Stan Lee, Shakespeare, and Gidget...
This is the Silver Surfer's finest speech. "O Dudes and Bettys." Nuff said.
