I don't want to spoil it...so the answer is in your pm box.

As for remafications on Civil War, I guess it depends how his "boss" factors into it all and how much pull he has over Sentry.

His "boss" shouldn't have any pull over The Sentry, the "boss" should even be around now. And if any of you read the mini you'd know that The Sentry probably doesn't care much for "the boss".

Calling Sentry Nietzschian (i.e. the Ubermensche) seems a bit of a stretch. He's screwed in the head (bipolar, schizophrenic, you name it). Ubermenschen belong in DC.

I personally love the Sentry but probably wouldn't keep up with a book.Of course I don't really keep up with Superman either.I like him as an Avenger but when Thor shows up I don't know.Thor has always been the muscle of the team so I don't know that the Sentry would still have a place.Maybe theres still a lot of time for the Sentry before Thor shows back up though.

Without giving too much away.............Thor's re-emergence looks to be taking place SOON!

Thor WILL be back by the end of Civil War, as will Hawkeye. I'm assuming that they will also be on the side of Captain America.

I got another idea, I'm sure some will like it and others will hate it, but its the way I'd go if I was in charge.

I would still give the ongoing Sentry series to Loeb and Turner, I think thats an A-list team that has already produced some great stuff.

However I would also get Jenkins to write a "Series of mini-series", that take place int he past of the Marvel U and weaves Sentry into the history of the Marvel U. The character is susposed to have been the first hero and taught the rest how to become heros. Rather then just say he helped the fantastic 4 and X-Men and figured out Parker was Spider-Man etc... show it. Make each mini either an orginal story set in Marvels past, or the retelling of a classic marvel story with the Sentry involved. For example, on series could be a retelling of the FF's first battle with Doom, but show how Sentry helped the Fantastic Four beat Doom, or adding Sentry to group of orginal Avengers called together to defeat Loki.

Umm, perhaps I was thinking of "when you stare into the darkness, the darkness also stares into you?"

But now that you mention it, the "BIG S" on the costume does remind me of a certain DC character with an IMAX film.

I've been giving some thought to this, since you posted it. I think it would be a very bad idea to retcon the most classic moments in Marvel history to give the Sentry a push. The Sentry needs to be on his own, and he needs to earn his way. If Marvel wants him to be an icon, then he needs to go through the growing pains that Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine have.

How would he benefit, by riding the coat tails of Marvel's greatest heroes, through their most defining moments, if he were added? That would make Marvel look like they are force feeding us the Sentry at the expense of the stories that they built their history on.

I think minis set in the past that add to the other characters' history and establish Sentry's history, is the best way to go. Maybe what they could do, is have the other heroes facing their worst enemies, in the worst predicaments with big stakes, and have the Sentry be the savior.These series need a writer that can give them that contemporary feel, in an old school setting, with the ability to increasingly challenge the Sentry as a character with each obstacle he faces. I think that they need to be done with the threat of the Void re-emerging, but without the Void being a part of any of the stories. Because any more use of that plot device, becomes an easy way out, and numbs any effect it has (much like Kryptonite). It's been done to death, in both the Sentry series and in the New Avengers arc. We now have a clear understanding of the Void, and his role to the Sentry's character-time to move on.

I think they definitley need to quit the talking and get to showing. If he truly has the power of 1000 exploding suns.....then don't #### around with it, by using it as a cheap descriptor and a slogan. Superman does not go around saying that he's faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound- he's shown doing those things-repeatedly in such a way that there is no doubt that can/does those things.

"A photosynthetic reaction to his body, completely altering his state of consciousness"- means nothing more than "he absorbs sunlight, his body transfers it into power for him to use, and he becomes more aware of his surroundings" in layman's terms.

It is indeed time for The Golden Guardian of Good to walk the walk. I like the guy, and I want to like the guy, but his little snippets here and there are burying my interests, and from what I've gathered-others are beginning to feel the same way. If the feeling spreads, then he will be a flash in the pan that never amounted to much, because people will stop reading him. I don't want to see that, but have no problems giving up on him soon. I especially think that Thor's imminent return could take away from his opportunity to shine. Thor's been gone too long, and the Avengers need a heavy hitter who can take center stage.

IMO, they've already completely dropped the ball on Sentry, especially now that Thor's coming back. A lot of people are waiting for the inevitable Thor/Sentry battle...but from what I've seen it's mostly because they want to see Thor kick Sentry's ### and take his rightful place in the Avengers lineup. That's NOT what you want to hear about a character you've spent two minis and an Avengers arc developing into your "next big thing".

I want to like Sentry. I want to see him step up and be Marvel's "Big S". He's got so many possibilities based on what's been said about his powers and what's been shown about his character. But the problem with what they've done so far to hype him should be obvious from that last sentence.

We need to SEE him at the full extent of his powers, and we need to see it in a setting that is undeinably actually happening. I can't buy it when he says he's taken on Galactus, especially when the new Super Adaptiod took him down pretty easy. I can't accept being told he's this super-powerful being, because it doesn't mesh with him fighting the Collective to a standstill. From what's been said, the Collective shouldn't have had a chance.

It's not acceptable to be force-fed a line of #### about The Sentry and be expected to believe it. It's not acceptable to watch as everyone and their dog is in awe of a guy when all that's been proven about him is that he's a degenerate possible drug addict with schizophrenia.

I guess, in all honesty, I've already given up on him as a failed experiment in screwing with the loyal Marvel fanbase. Jenkins had better have some real miracle stories up his sleeve, because the "Golden Guardian of Good" is less golden than brown these days.

To fill in others, to the best of my memory: "General Glory" was a character in JLI that was basically Captain America, who really existed in DC continutiy, but had to sacrifice his 'real' existance to somehow save the world...unlike Sentry, GG's comic books still existed, so when he reappeared the other GG (Guy Gardener) thought he was just some guy dressing up like an old comic book hero.

Now in typical Bendis fashion...he's probably forgotten he ever read those JLI issues (didn't he used to work at a comic book store?) ...but considering the JL / Avengers parallels, as well as the lame-a-tude of both stories/characters its pretty much an open and shut case that the Sentry is, intended or otherwise a paper-thin reworking of that General Glory story...Think George Harrison and "My Sweet Lord"/"He's so Fine".

But thats the whole point of the Sentry character, he WAS there for a lot of those moments and stories. Everyone just forgot about him. And while he does need an ongoing series thats happening "now", going back would do what a people people are talking about, let us see Sentry did rather then just hear some vague "reports" of it.

I also don't think that Thor coming back has to be the "end" of Sentry or take away from him at all. Its looking pretty clear that there is going to be two teams coming out of Civil, one wiht Ironman one with Cap, plenty of room for both. He also doesn't have to stay on one team or the other if an ongoing series is planned.
