io9 chats with writer John Jennings to learn more about the Silver Surfer's new miniseries–and a new hero decades in the making.
, by writer John Jennings and with art from Valentine de Landro, is a brand new five-issue miniseries set to kick off early next year. Although he’s spearheading the title, the Silver Surfer isn’t the biggest mystery of—the titular new hero themselves is, as Norrin is drawn to the quiet town of Sweetwater when a young girl named Toni Brooks discovers something so strange that even the Sentinel of the Spaceways is intrigued by it.
io9: What appeals to you about taking this grand cosmic character like the Silver Surfer and bring him down to Earth?I’ve always felt that the Surfer is one of the most empathetic and human protagonists in the Marvel Universe. Even the symbolism of his design is all about reflection and connection. He’s like a walking mirror and everyone can see themselves in him. He’s almost like a mannequin. He is incredibly powerful but you can project yourself onto him like a screen.
io9: Of course, one of the big things Marvel is teasing with this series is the debut of the mysterious Ghost Light. Can you tell us a little bit about the ideation process on the character? Why has it taken half a century for Ghost Light to come to, well, light?#5 as a kid. I do remember enjoying it but not having the context to see what the story was trying to do.
