Galactus the Devourer by Louise Simonson, John Buscema, and Jon Jay Muth (2014)
Originally publised as a six-part series in 1999, Galactus the Devourer finds the Silver Surfer (aka, my favorite superhero) returning to Earth and uniting with Alicia Masters, the Fantastic Four, Avengers, et al., to stop his former master who has grown increasingly insane. To my nerdy chagrin, I didn’t initially realize that this was written in 1999 — I thought it was a much newer series — but Louise Simonson’s writing is perfectly in-line with ’90s Marvel over-the-top-ness. That said, I didn’t necessarily care for her take on the Surfer, which makes his angst feel increasingly repetitive. (That’s a delicate balance with a character as inherently overwrought and melodramatic as the Surfer.)
