I've got a feeling that this 5 issue series could is gonna be a sleeper. I think when the Silver Surfer movie hits, this series could very well tie into it. Any thoughts??

That's kind of my thinking also. I'm not too impressed with Moore's art, but it's not terrible. I have a hard time getting into comics that have terrible art. But Cates is a top notch writer, so I'm thinking that great writing plus mediocre art might equal a decent comic. If the story line is a flop by Cates (it could happen) then I see these being in the dollar bin in a year or so.

I’m not overly familiar with Moore and the cover for 1 is kinda just mediocre if anyone cares what I think... with that being said I own everything Donny cates has written(almost) and that’s all it takes for me.

Ya, I’m not really impressed with the cover either. There are some really nice variants coming out though!

@infinityG to be fair, I've never read a lot of comics that were drawn by him. I've always liked the Surfer (and dreaded the fact that he was tied to the Fantastic Four). So, I plan on getting all 5 issues. We'll see what my feelings are at the end of it. Just FYI - I am NOT a huge FF fan. I like all four characters individually, but not as a group. And I think Dr. Doom is a GREAT villain!!! There is just something about the FF that I've never cared for. I don't know, maybe it was bad story lines back in the day. Whatever the cause, I've always thought of the FF as a lame team. I enjoyed West Coast Avengers more than I enjoyed FF. But "The Thing" series was great, IMO.

This series spiked Thanos #15 3rd printing (“black” surfer cover). Speculation this series may tie into the The Fallen One who debuted in Thanos 15/16. I was lucky enough to find a few copies in a back issue bin a few weeks ago for cover. Also found a nice copy of Thanos 16 2nd print which is also a cool black surfer cover.

I’m also thinking Cates is going to do what Cates does and pull in some history/characters from past surfer books...was going to start putting some issues on eBay...I’ll wait a bit longer to see where this is going first.

And I also hate the art... it will buy the book for the story.

I’d be in on the Thanos 15 @drogio, I didn’t pay attention after the first print and totally missed that book.

hmmm Silver Surfer does look female....strange.

I am a fan of Tradd's work from the Luther Strode series. He also did some killer covers for Secret Warriors (2017). I hope that SS cover is just a outlier...

Man tough art crowd lol! Honestly, I never heard of Tradd Moore before but I liked the Kirby/Allred feel he has to his work.

My general aversion to variants aside, Sad Lemon Comics has a cool one that is coming out for SS Black #1.

Pure speculation here, but I believe that GOTG Annual #1 might be the first appearance of Silver Surfer Black. Despite what eBayer's are saying, I am not finding the first appearance of SS Black listed yet. GOTG Annual comes out the week before SSB #1. According to Donny Cates ...

this SS Black/Fallen One thing is all over the place that it's hard to tell what the 1st is going to be.

Hey, a newbie on cbcs here. Does anyone know of a list of ss black variants? I tried making a list from eBay and what I could scrounge from the net. I found about 16 or 17 including reg issues. Is there a place that has an official list? Autograph issues don't count.

Thanos 15 4th print is 1st appearance of Silver Surfer Black. So far.

Chronologically Thanos 16 came out before 15,4th print. Seems like it’s the whole debate first appearance again, I’ve seen both books called the first appearance

Assuming the “Fallen One” Surfer from Donny Cates Thanos run IS the black surfer...which has yet to be confirmed (but we all believe will be in time)...

Chronological by release date:

Thanos 15 1st print = first appearance (cameo)
Thanos 16 1st print = first appearance (full)
Thanos 17 J.G. Jones Shop Variant = first cover appearance
Thanos 15 4th print (trade dress) = first cover appearance that’s not a shop variant (Note: Virgin cover of same art is an Unknown Comic Books ship variant)
Thanos 16 3rd Print = another cover appearance.
Thanos 17 2nd Print = another cover appearance

Also, I don’t know if any of these variants of the new series coming out actually have the “black tinted” surfer on the cover....they all look pretty silver to me...
