This TPB reprints The Sentry 1-6, The Sentry: Fantastic Four, The Sentry: Spider-Man, The Sentry: X-Men, The Sentry: Hulk and The Sentry Vs. The Void
issue 1 act 1: the suit
jenkins does a nice job of making bob reynolds just a little crazy. he wakes from a dream, in a thunder storm. half memories of life as costumed hero the sentry. nice 60s through-back art and later 80s dark knight stuff. a nemesis the void and a serum that gives him his powers and is addictive. he drinks and his wife is pissed and has had it. cute dog. mentions the avengers and reed Richards. i liked it. jae lee art is moody and slick.
like the clothes pins on the jacket holding up the bath-towel cape.
issue 2
act 2: the unicorn
i gotta say i really enjoying this. the idea of no one remembering the sentry. we see flashbacks of his wedding to lindy. reed richards is the best man. sue and lindy used to get their hair done together. tony stark is smashed. bob and reed worry about him.
opens with sentry on the top of a crane at the FF's construction site. a cool 90s cover Liefieldesque. a dead young hero billy.
fucking william shatner LT. reed and sue get the willies as they find a unicorn statue that bob gave them to "remember him by" there's a VHS labeled "wedding video"
nice weeding of the sentry cover. who is that style?
bob on the subway is quite mad. on the video is reed saying that they r all as good as dead
act 3: the photograph
the clothespins on reynolds' bath-towel cape burn into the sentry "s". he goes to c the hulk and the hulk remembers. bob says its because of his change. hulk is sweet and somber and fondly remembers bob. calls him golden man. now i don't read hulk but if he written like this
Ok I just finished this. Really liked it. And this wont be as detailed as I would like but it’s been hanging over my head for a while now and I just want to be rid of it.
So just some bullets.
Sienkienwich art is perfect as always. Love his hulk.
Love clock.
Liked that he was the void.
Loved the retconned history.
Im still confused as to whether it was really a stan lee idea or not.
And am I right that he remembers at the very end?
