I would be intrigued by a Sentry ongoing. Now if the stories take place in the past, I would like to see a long lost fight between Sentry and The Juggernaut. I miss the classic Juggernaut.

: Frontline and The Return, and accompanying

: It's been mentioned a few times, and I'm

: I'd buy it, at least for the first couple of

: you're done" thing, which seems a bit
: unfair).

: Do you think the character could support

: Depends on the creative team. I'd really

: Bendis write the character. I've mentioned
: before that I think David Hines could do a
: good job. I also think someone like Grant
: Morrison would have a field day with Sentry.
: Think Animal Man, Marvel style ...
:
: If so, what would you want the series to
: focus on?
:
: The problems of someone who's mentally ill,
: but also one of the most powerful beings on
: the planet. This really hasn't been done
: before -- at least in a way that's
: realistic. Reynold's problems are a
: potential goldmine of stories ... if done
: right.
:
: What makes the character potentially
: interesting is not his power -- the whole
: "Superman analogue" bit -- but his
: humanity. He's not a flawed person, or even
: a necessarily noble/heroic person. He's the
: WRONG guy with astounding abilities and the
: responsbility to go with them. THAT is the
: engine for the series.
:
: Who would you want in Sentry's supporting
: cast?
:
: Same as the last mini: his wife, the dog,
: CLOC, and the doc. And, as I mentioned
: elsewhere, Dr. Faustus as a recurring
: villian.
