A new beginning!

The Silver Surfer is back on Earth, but the world he's returned to is not the same one he left. The Fantastic Four and Avengers have fallen to Onslaught - and with the Surfer cut off from his memories and emotions, can he even grieve for them? Perhaps he can with the aid of the first Earth woman who taught him compassion: blind sculptor Alicia Masters! A brutal battle against the rampaging Hulk leads to an eye-opening encounter with Doctor Strange - but as Alicia and the Surfer begin a journey through time and space, mind and soul, can the Surfer cope with the return of a long-forgotten foe and a startling revelation about his home planet, Zenn-La? Or will the demonic Mephisto finally claim his silver soul?

Guest-starring Spider-Man, Daredevil and Alicia's father, the villainous Puppet Master!
