Sentry MUST DIE!!!! (Spoilers a'plenty!)

 
Anybody following MARVEL COMICS: "Siege" Series? Hopefully all this "Civil War" and "Dark Reign" stuff will come to an end and regular ole comic STORY TELLING can return? Shesh, aside from the basic ridicules nature of Norman Osborn (the Green Goblin) being this uber bad guy that can control Loki and Dr. Doom, we have to deal with the wannabe "Superman" (Super Boy Prime) SENTRY.

Marvel has had a few watered down Superman knock offs: Hyperion, Gladiator and now Sentry. Aside from the fact that I truly HATE the whole retconned "He's always been here" nature of Sentry, no one has written him well. Sure, we know, he has all the "Superman" powers, but a very unstable mind, which usually makes him useless in any real situation in the Marvel Universe. The best (but unsettling) portrayal of Sentry was in the Marvel Zombies books, which must have stuck with some of the writers, because in "Siege" Sentry goes a little berserk and literally rips ARES (late of Olympus) in half.Two problems here, just how powerful is Sentry, and just how weak are gods in the Marvel Universe? But more to the point, Marvel just destroyed a lot of work that went to making Ares interesting (sort of how DC destroyed all that Geoff Johns did with Black Adam) to have him killed by the uninteresting Sentry?

Bottom line, I hope THOR cleans his clock PERMANENTLY. I'm Just saying...The only thing I could think of that would be better is a Marvel / DC crossover where Superman beats Sentry down on general principle (Or Black Adam beats him down because Sentry is a whinner!)

Hey DJ-

I love the fact that Marvel made Sentry a nutjob. That was a real smack in the face to DC and the forthright and almighty Superman. I'm not VERY big into comics like I used to be, but some of my boyz give me a heads'up with something special happens - i.e. Civil War and World War Hulk. I guess you saw Hulk going blow for blow with Sentry in WW Hulk. How'd you like the beatdown?

Hey Thinking Black Man, How are you man?

I did enjoy seeing Sentry and Hulk go toe to toe, but I want my boy Thor to smash Sentry. I thought Gladiator got on my nerves...
