Synopsis:
“Shalla Bal” — After escaping Earth’s confinement, the Silver Surfer returns to Zenn-La and reunites with Shalla Bal, now Empress of their homeworld. Though their reunion is heartfelt, duty divides them: Shalla refuses to abandon her people, and the Surfer’s offer of marriage is declined. Meanwhile, a Skrull emissary seeks an alliance but covertly plots assassination to hide a crippling truth—his race has lost its shapeshifting ability. When their attempt fails, the Surfer reaffirms his vow to defend Zenn-La, even as his soul finds no lasting peace. He returns to the only home that accepts him unconditionally: the vast, silent cosmos.
