Silver Surfer: In Thy Name #3

[laughing_tree]

My contention is that humans are living increasingly disenchanted lives. We’re forgetting the wonders of fiction. People are lurching towards psychic extremes: some veering towards an anodyne sort of rationalism – let’s call it an acceptance of Realpolitik – which essentially amounts to losing the ability to be moved by the unreal. Others are veering towards radicalised religion, which I’d describe as an orthodoxy based on mistreating stories as fact. Both are extremes defined by taking things too fucking literally. -- Si Spurrier

So...wait.

In order to save/unite these warring factions, the Surfer summoned a hungry Galactus? Who will surely eat the planet and murder thousands, if not millions, in the process?

...what?

And maybe both?

1) This is kinda dark for Surfer, and 2) they undid Lifebringer for this?

[silverhammerman]

They didn't undo Lifebringer for this, it's an old series.

[akodo_rokku]

Yeah, they undid Lifebringer for dot dot dot question mark

[q99]

Oh, that's something at least.

Still, this is a pretty generic Surfer title and calling big G an iffy call.

Maybe he's just tricking them into thinking he did?

Oh hey "all cultures are equal shitty just in different ways" didn't see you there.

Oh and you brought your friend "Religious people are stupid, can't they see their sacred text are obviously fairy tails and only morons would take them seriously".

[q99]

Yea, a bit stereotypical for a Surfer story, eh?

Except the arrogant folks who look down on all religion are one of the two 'bad guy' sides here.
