Allrighty. The Sentry is completely new to me. Never heard of the character, even though I always was quite a fan of Marvel. Anyways, the story the superhero called Sentry began with a huge hoax. Long story short: The Wizard magazine printed a story about a long forgotten superhero who is even older than all the Silver Age characters. The widow of Sentry's creator, Artie Rosen found about the comic after she looked through her dead husband's stuff. Following, she sent the sketches to Marvel - they decided to renew the comic and put it out under the "Marvel Knights" moniker. But that's a huge lie and it never happened.Actually, Sentry is a completely new character created by guys like Jae Lee and Bill Sienkiewicz. His origin story is formed like some kind of a retcon. Robert Reynold (that's the actual name of Sentry) was a low-life alcoholic until he finally started to remember his superhero past. He was big ass name in the superhero scene and friends with people like Reed Richards. He seems to be an anomaly from the past whom no one is allowed to remember. Anyways, in this issue of "The Age of Sentry!" he fights against a strange guy with three brains who controls a gigantic bear in a tutu called Ursus the Ultra-Bear. Also he tries to find out why the hell all the superheroes are avoiding him.
Sounds like trash? Yeah, it is trash. But pretty good. It seems like a parody of Silver Age Comics. Not only the design is really colorful, the story is hilarious and over-the-top. But not too much, so it doesn't become a bad parody. It's just simple fun. A guy in yellow spandex and is sidekicks: a girl in yellow spandex and a flying dog are beating up supervillains and attending birthday parties. First, I just thought "well, what?" but then I started grinning and enjoyed it. Made by Jeff Parker, Nick Dragotta, Paul Obin and Michael Cho.
