This is the Sentry Civil War story. So, let’s assume that this issue takes place before that last issue of Wolverine. Up until that point, the Sentry has been on the moon, meditating and thinking about how bad the war is, and how easily the Sentry could end it all. The Sentry, apparently talks to himself in his head in third person, which is weird. He's attacked by the Inhumans who have declared war on man since Quicksilver stole their mists back in Son of M. Sentry goes to Attilan and tells Medusa and Black Bolt that he meant no harm and will leave. They forgive him and make him stay the night, although it is always dark... Iron Man shows up and convinces the Sentry to come to earth and fight with him. After that, we can only assume Tony Stark sics him on Wolverine in the last issue. It’s a very capable story, but it is not as good as the Cap, or Luke Cage issues.
The art by Pasqual Ferry is gorgeous to look at. Each character has its own look, almost animation-like. His colorist also helps this effect a lot. Ferry is a good artist, and I'm wondering if what he's doing on Ultimate Fantastic Four is as good as this issue. This is better than the Spider-Woman issue, I give it a B-.
WHY did you give this a B- again? wait did you tell us the first time? I havn't read the book but you summed it and said that the art was good and it was better than the Spider-Woman issues...wheres the review part?
I had no complaints about the story, so I gave it a B-. If it was a GREAT story it would have gotten an A. The story wasn't bad, so it didn't get a C. The story was above average, I liked the introspection to the Sentry character, thus the B. And the art was cool. In the Spider-Woman issue, he threw away everything he was building on, but in this issue he sort of built more onto the Sentry. He was battling his demons inside, and telling himself that he conquered those demons, and he needn't worry about them, making the character more confident and able to go off with Iron Man.
Thats more like it.
