I enjoyed the issue. The Sentry does sound whiney, but I don't think he is a coward. Like everybody else, he is torn about this Civil War, who is right, who is wrong, and why it has to happen. But unlike everybody else, he has some major duty mental health issues, which is evident by the more than average thought squares (not bubbles anymore). I liked the touch of him running away to be alone, because if you remember, he is an agoraphobic and is likely to have lapses in his illness, especially under stress. I also found it interesting that the Sentry continues to have memory lapses, I just don't know if he truly doesn't remember or he is forgetting information, which can happen if your mind is racing a million miles per minute. Now, I've read some of the debates about the Sentry on this board, with some people hating the character, others liking him, and many in between. I like the character, but would also like to see some changes. I would like the Sentry to be powered down a bit. He is too uber strong for his own good and his story will get or has already become redundant. I would like him to be a bit more stabilized psychologically. He can have the psychiatrist and the help, but hopefully he can be more stable, same, and confident. I would like his origin and past to be clearer. We already have one Wolverine tracking his past down, we don't need another. Lastly, I agree he needs to loose the wife. I just doesn't make sense that a character like this is marrried. He can keep the dog. I actually find him hilarious.
