Holy shit...

I loved everything about this. Amazing art, loved the "is he crazy? Is he a drunk?" teasing throughout the issue (until he takes off flying), loved the writing, and the whole thing just felt...big. Special.

Did anyone experience this back in the day, was it a big deal back then? I mean, no matter what came out of it eventually (unfortunately nothing good), but this first issue (or first volume from what I hear) feels like something we that would be huge if released today for example.

Fuck, I really liked that first issue lol

Edit: just noticed it's a Marvel Knights joint, that label was really firing on all cylinders back then huh?

it was. it really was. Now never read anything involving Sentry after this ever again

Maybe, but Silk is secret best girl.

Silk is the new Spider-Man, galactus is now Thor, Howard and Vision fuse and become one, Robbie Reyes is still Ghost Rider, and Gamora is now an inhuman. Together they are the Unlikely Avengers.

Yeah being bald-faced lied to by Marvel editorial via their lackeys at Wizard was real fun.

Wasnt that ish where he ripped his face open sorta good?

When will people ever stop believing whatever leaves an editor's mouth? Y u do dis to urself?

It was a pre-9/11 world. People trusted their institutions back then.

Wait, so it was confirmed that Silk is getting canceled?

When Hickman said "everything dies," he wasn't fucking around.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Secret Wars issue one was okay. Nothing to cancel or put books on hiatus over....

Sentry was introduced as Stan Lee's "first" superhero, preceding the Fantastic Four. 15 years later I am still salty.

 

[zennyzz]

hiatus is the term used for the ongoings that are remaining ongoings.

Which Silk, Howard, Squirrel Girl, and Spider-gwen currently have the moniker for.

Whether they return is the question

But that's the whole point of the story. You're upset because of what in 2015 amounts to viral marketing?

It wasn't viral marketing. Wizard pushed a lie as a big news story to market a mini for Marvel. There'd be 100x the shit fit thrown if it was done today then there was back then.

 

[Coriolanus]

You do know Onslaught saga happened in the 90's? And superman's death? And bruce wayne discovering the wonders of chiropraxy?

Heck, mahvel was lying about killing all mutants back in the ay-teas.

Ordered it last nite along with Dial H and some other good shit. I'll tell y'all when I get the styrofoam spaceship from instock.

Annihilation Wave was a letdown, you can't call for an Annihilation wave and have tiny little panels of nothing and one panel of the top half of Annihilus being way too giddy to even make it in the book, then half a half page of the builder ship exploding

Didn't know thede was a Totoro variant.

 

[Bloodember]

Liked the old one better.

 

[Rhaknar]

it was. it really was. Now never read anything involving Sentry after this ever again

Finished it. The team up books with the various heroes felt completely unnecessary (you really only need the idea that he was around before and little snippets like the main book showed) but #1-5 and then Sentry: The Void were awesome. It peters out a bit near the end (the "twist" would be completely predictable even if I didn't already know), and those first 2 or 3 issues where he is still slowly remembering were by far the best part, but I still really enjoyed it overall.

As a mini series it's great and self contained, and that's all it should ever been really. Now to decide if I should read the 2005 series, the completionist in me feel a I have to.

Edit: who killed him anyway? And when/where?

 

[KoruptData]

Just read Secret Wars 0 and 1. That was really good super hero comics. My only way of following the Marvel U has been through here and all the press they get and I was able to follow along quite nicely. I'll admit, this one issue make Convergence look really lazy. Heck, might as well call Convergence what BC was calling it all along, a band-aid. I have figured out in my two years of comics that I'll like Super-heroes more than regular indie books. I also like when creators get to dump out the box of toys and go to town with them. So, in that sense, Secret Wars is just for me. I'll keep getting the main title.

 

[PsychBat!]

Edit: who killed him anyway? And when/where?

You're talking about the Sentry right?

Thor, Siege #4. He willingly lets himself be killed.

Spoiler

I fucking hate the Sentry and kinda shake my fist in anger at the character whenever I see him.

Sentry comes back during Bendis's run on Avengers. He's killed in Siege which I thought was great mostly just due to the amazing art.

He recently reappeared in Uncanny Avengers as a total crazy person which was cool

edit: lots of people dont like him as a character, such as psychbat right above! But I always liked him. An unstable near god is appealing to me

 

[slightconfuse]

Sentry was such a wierd idea. Like they came up with this potentially cool character but had no idea what to to do with him. A mentally ill superman should have been a hole-in-one. They kept trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Let's hope marvel man fares better.

People like to complain that age of ultron was about cap sitting down or standing up. World war hulk was sentry sitting on his ass for 4.5 issues.

(World war hulk was super dope, Dat JRJR art)

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Sentry was great in Uncanny Avengers as a Horseman of Death. Thought it was hilarious when he ripped his face open.

 

[Rhaknar]

Well if he's involved in siege I guess I'll revisit him (including the 2005 series) when I eventually tackle that event

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Liked the old one better.

Me too, trust me.

It was a great one off mini series. The second mini wasn't as strong. And then for some reason Bendis decided to bring him into real continuity with the avengers and instantly didn't know what to do with him. He had no handle of the character and it became a mess.

..and then in the wake Rogues character was assassinated. Fortunately everyone has politely decided to never mention it again

 

[Serpentine]

Me too, trust me.

We should hold it to a vote

so that's 3 for the old one so far

 

[PsychBat!]

Sentry is a Gary Stu. And an incompetent one at that. And very inconsistent when Bendis had him.

Sentry is like one of the most powerful beings in the universe that can wipe out every hero on Earth. But doesn't due to... mental issues? And the moment he goes all out, he dies.

That's not true, Remender made him a Horseman in Uncanny Avengers
