Silver Surfer is a philosophical staple of the Marvel franchise, and his death in Silver Surfer: Requiem is iconic with its status as a think-piece, amazing art, and the content itself. In this extra long episode, Garrett 'The What' Klinkerman and Kadley 'The Why' Harmon analyze what makes this four issue run tick.
