The Sentry - Not Worth It
April 23, 2006
Due to his member ship in the New Avengers, I started reading The Sentry. As of now, I’ll be reading The Sentry no more. I hate to say it, but it’s really quite terrible. This is the worst character I’ve ever encountered in the Marvel Universe. They really should be embarrassed.
As I try to read this, I find myself disengaged from the story line, bored out of my mind, and hoping I’ll get to the end of each story. I’ve never found myself despising a comic like this. I can’t find a single redeeming quality about The Sentry.
In my previous post on him I said:
In conclusion, Jenkins-Sentry is lame. Bendis resurrects with some success, but I still feel there is no place for the omnipotent hero in the Marvel Universe. [...] As I continue reading New Avengers, maybe the guy will grow on me.
Alas, he did not grow on me. Now I hope each time I read New Avengers that Sentry will not play a major (or even minor) role. Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll kill him off in the impending Civil War…

Got something to say?
[...] Never in my life have I felt so passionately unhappy about a comic. In general even when they are bad they still offer something. Since the conclusion of The Other series, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has become increasingly worse. Peter David is an embarrassment to Marvel, and is greatly tarnishing the Spider-Man name. I was able to tolerate #5 - “Web Log”, even though it seemed out of order in the continuity and certainly took concentration away from Spider-Man. The two issue story “Masks” was uninteresting and I thought I’d be glad to start the next series. This is when things go from bad to gouge my eyes out, burn the comic, and pray the clone saga has not re-emerged bad. Yes, I said it, Peter David’s stories are worse than the mid-90s clone saga. [...]
Here’s a thought.
Don’t artificially increase your hits with bullshit at the bottom of the page.
Fucknut.
