I grow comfortable basking in the glow of lesser-powered beings' admiration. Drinking it in as I drink the stellar light through my silvered skin and, like a drunkard, I forget that I'm still just a pawn!

Synopsis for "Aftermatch!"
Brief Summary:
The Silver Surfer releases his frustrations in a remote asteroid field. He is angered that Eros manipulated his and Nova's minds during his battle with Firelord. Nova asks Galactus to let her go and find the Surfer, but he refuses her request. Captain Reptyl prepares his pirate crew for future battles, as the Kree/Skrull War continues with the Super Skrull entering the fray. Nenora unsuccessfully tries to make peace with the Silver Surfer indirectly through Shalla-Bal.
Detailed Summary:
Angered over the outcome of his fight with Firelord, the Silver Surfer seeks out a distant area of space to be alone. Meanwhile, Nova asks Galactus to let her find the Surfer and console him after Eros had manipulated his and hers minds. Galactus refuses her request and she agrees to stay.
Captain Reptyl leaves Clumsy Foulup and his pirate crew on a remote world to protect his secret cache of weapons. While wandering the planet, Clumsy comes across a mysterious figure that knows his name. He runs away in fear.
In space the Kree and Skrull armies engage in battle, but the fight quickly turns with the entrance of the Super Skrull. Nenora watches remotely, but is occupied with a visit to Zenn-La and Shalla-Bal. She tries to get Shalla-Bal to contact the Silver Surfer, but she refuses to oblige her.
