“Skaar: Son of Hulk” #7 hits comic book stores on January 28 — and features the return of the Silver Surfer to the savage planet of Sakaar! Marvel.com has an interview with writer Greg Pak about the upcoming hijinks. Here’s an excerpt:

“On an emotional level, the Surfer’s an important figure for Skaar because he’s the first genuine friend of his father’s that he’s met. For better or for worse, Skaar’s encounter with the Surfer will absolutely play a role in preparing Skaar for his eventual showdown with the Hulk. SKAAR #9 will be a critical issue in this regard.”
As for what brings the Surfer back to Sakaar in the first place, Pak explains that it comes down to his master’s ravenous appetite.
“Galactus the Worldeater is hungry, and the Surfer’s heard rumors through the cosmic byways of the massive destruction that preceded the Hulk’s departure from Sakaar,” the writer elaborates. “But when he arrives, he discovers that many survivors still live on the savage planet—including a particularly argumentative character by the name of Skaar, Son of Hulk!”
