Sidd "Sentry" Hartha
Zen and the Art of Retcon
Even though it's an audacious marketing ploy, I love the idea of the Sentry.
It really bugs me that the Inhumans are so darn uppity.
Why are T'Challa and Storm the ONLY ONES trying to put an end to it all? Makes me nutty. Don't even get me started about Doc. Again.
Maybe this issue will explain it to me. And maybe AIG will give back all that money.
Did Bob eat some peyote? Did I eat some peyote?
Maybe it's the mists? Maybe it's that Arby's Beef & Cheddar I left in my car all afternoon then ate anyway.
Maybe the Inhumans are just dillweeds.
Impurities? Ugh. Now they sound like Nazis. I don't understand it. I've really liked Blackbolt in the bits I've read. I know Crystal was ok, even though she blew off Johnny for Pietro. But, really, I don't know anything about them. And what I'm seeing here. Not liking. Not heroic. Not Scandinavian. Just icky.
Bob is polite. See, now, Bob, I like.
Ok, we get another recap. *sigh*
The art is lovely, but... let's pick up the pace here, people.
Oh, Crystal gets around. She's not Black Widow, but...
Isn't Bob married?
Ah-ha! Lindy! See.
Ugh. Iron Man. I used to be so excited to see him. Almost the same thrill as Cap. And now, my stomach just sinks. I know I'm going to get a fistful of rationalization and ego-cententric moralizing. I'm sure it's different when you have to wait weeks between issues. When you read them so quickly, like I'm doing, damn it's the same notes over and over like a Miley Cyrus song.
Ohhhh, killing Cap. I admit that I know Cap dies. Don't know any details, but the fact that he is no mas is kinda hard to miss. I'm absolutely dreading getting to that. I can't quite believe it and part of me hopes I'm just wrong and that it's all an elaborate hoax to fool lil ol me.
The reflection of Bob in IM's armor is creeeeeepy.
His righteousness is sooooo tiresome. I would consider myself an Iron Man fan. Granted, I've only read a small percentage of the issues, but they're just killing this character for me. I've lost all traces of the hero I adored. Where is the man? He's just some rhetoric spewing automaton now. Maybe he's a clone gone wrong like Thor or a skrull or part of my regretful trip to Arbys.
I know. I'm so impatient. And, I guess they can have fun redeeming Tony at some point, but the waiting will kill me. It's not that I want him to be perfect. I want them all to be flawed, it's far more interesting, but this is beyond flawed, it's a different, to me, character completely. I barely recognize him. If here weren't in the armor, I wouldn't. I hope they have a few humanizing issues with him. He's got to be sooooo tormented, but they're not showing me. Dagnabbit, show me!
Hmmm, maybe the Inhuman uppitiness will be useful here.
Or not.
I hope Bob goes back to earth and kicks Tony in the repulsor ray and heads off to fight with Cap.
That was a gyp. Truly, that was a scene from a book not a whole book. That's two "filler" issues in a row. I blame China.
I hope they get back to making hay again soon.
