At the edge of the universe, Shalla-Bal, once the Silver Surfer is trapped in exile with Galactus after the events of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. While their fate remains uncertain, the Annihilation Wave, led by Annihilus, sweeps across the cosmos. Among its most feared agents is Ravenous, commander of the Seekers and master of the Currs — creatures bred to hunt wielders of the Power Cosmic. Norrin Radd, desperate to save his homeworld and reunite with Shalla-Bal, accepts Galactus’s grim bargain: reclaim the mantle of Silver Surfer in exchange for the Devourer’s protection against the Wave. Venturing through war-ravaged space, Norrin witnesses the Wave’s devastation and meets allies like Tarq Maru and Wendell Vaughn Quasar, a cosmic protector waging his own battle. When Ravenous begins hunting them both, they form an uneasy alliance. As the Currs close in, Norrin must choose between his quest for love, his duty to his people, and the crushing weight of Galactus’s power a choice that will decide if he becomes the universe’s savior or its destroyer.
