Age of The Sentry #1
Friday, September 19th, 2008 running time 03:34
So Marvel finally got around to giving us some Silver Age stories of The Sentry with the first issue of The Age of the Sentry. Can writer Jeff Parker save what seems to be a hopeless character?
Age of the Sentry #1 features 2 stories, one written by Jeff Parker (X-Men First Class) and the other by Paul Tobin. Ron takes one for the team and gives the book a shot to see if the joke of The Sentry will come to end with this attempt to give this contrived hero a backstory in the Marvel Universe

" Wow. Hey welcome to another edition of my family -- my name is Ron Richards and shocking of shocking episodes today. Age of the century number one he heard me talk about shipping mania a couple of days ago. I've been waiting for this book that to check out and finally came outside falling on my hands on -- want to come here talking about it. For those you don't know the century is a Carriker and Marvel Comics and that is come under a little bit of fire of the past a -- a couple of years he was created back in the early two thousands by Paul Jenkins as as -- kind of marketing stunt to do it both is lost character that's thinly traded at that we avenues but he was to create totally fresh and new. And he's as -- Superman character with the power of a thousand suns and in a very yellow costume in the blue blue cape. Andy did this whole atom bomb markings that that kind of went away and in -- brought him back recently in the new ventures run and made him part of new vendors in the whole idea is that he's got this great power. And he's immensely flawed he's got a gore phobia he's got all these mental problems schizophrenic all this kind of thing. -- he's got this great power in just taken his mind right to use it. Paul Jenkins general meeting Jeter did did a twelve issue series and believed that was just explore the century and and his and then -- nemesis the blade. And it was all right. And but the century is really become a joke. He's not a good character. They want him to be this kind of you know this this character that will initiate a lot of good stories and a lot of drama. But it keeps failing every time even then this -- writers and comics. Can't seem to make this -- and good I mean as -- as evidenced by recently in new vendors and seek an invasion all the -- is done is flown into space screaming no. It's it's not good he was a joke and overhauled in his until considered invasion. As -- now with agents entry number one they're making it looks like to make an attempt to give some legitimacy of the character. Ages -- number was it too short stories about well first one written by Jeff parker and -- need to go to. And the second one written by Paul Tobin and drawn by room -- on Rosales. Stuff in the read. And their kind of throwback silver -- kind of stories the first Libyan secret origin of the century the second one being essentially versus the man thinker. There are right and I like Jeff parker I was kind of rooting for him to kind of you know kind of say the -- But it really makes you wonder whether or not we want this kind of throwback -- story. I wouldn't you know it it's trying to incorporate a history of a character that doesn't exist I mean we've seen so great stories of the fantastic four Spider-Man. Those exist in that time period. But this century was invented you know within this decade and -- try to rewrite history due to kind of -- Mormon shoehorn him into the marvel universe. I've been a staunch kind of critic of the century I think the character flaw and I don't think they're doing anything to within I really think that nothing can undo spider man's marriage they can get -- this character very easily they can do many seriously kill them off. It's not that hard it's just not working. I was hoping -- turn -- it was just kind of cute you know -- story -- to go to -- on the for on the on the or disoriented Jeff parker -- was great it was on had a very kind Mike -- almost kind of pop -- kind of kind of feel to it. I was a big fan of Paul -- around resign us the story. But. Then again I'm not and the character and I don't know anyone who is a -- character other than people of marble and that's something that you know so they should pay attention to. So check pages -- number one you can make your own decision. On the floor and I Campbell and I come forth just commenting and see what other people thought that I'm sure there are going to be maturities of it on and had ever -- revision three dot com for -- at all or previous videos thanks."
