A new beginning...back on Earth! But the world the Silver Surfer has 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 grieve for them? Perhaps with the aid of the first Earth woman who taught him compassion - blind sculptress 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 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!
