A new series featuring the Silver Surfer is on the works. Marvel Entertainment announced that the plot for the new series will revolve around the return of Herald of Galactus to Earth. The Silver Surfer is currently being developed by the creative team of Greg Pak and Stephen Segovia.

In a teaser, Marvel says "the dreaded Heralds of Galactus returns to Earth, but what fate does the High Evolutionary hold for the man behind the sentinel of the spaceways?"

Originally, the Silver Surfer was the first Herald for the cosmic entity Galactus, which sustains itself by devouring planets. The Heralds of Galactus scours the universe for suitable planets and pinpoints them to Galactus which will then drain away life from the planet with Elemental Converter.

The new Silver Surfer series writer Greg Pak said: "Introducing him as the Silver Savage in "Planet Hulk" was ridiculously fun. Now we're having a chance to do something even more insane, telling a story utterly grounded in human emotion that embraces the Surfer's cosmic mythology while shattering all expectations"

"This is the Surfer you've always loved and a Surfer you've never seen before. Long-time fans, dontcha dare miss it! New readers, come on in -- this is a perfect jumping on point for rediscovering Marvel's shining, silver star."

The first issue of the five installment for the new Silver Surfer series will be available February next year.
