What do you guys think? The issue is finally tying into New Avengers, yet it is still 2 months behind New Avengers Story Wise.

Finally, we see how Tony and Spiderwoman Meet up to talk about the Skrull thing, Which then leads into Illuminati 5, So this was a while behind that also.

I am glad there are 2 issues coming next month...

Yea, What was up with Sentry's wife? Was he out of it when he saw her dead?

WHAT! Skull? NO WAY! That would make Skrulls controlling the most powerful man on the earth!!

SKRULLS CONTROL THE MOST POWERFUL AND UNSTABLE MAN ON THE EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE TOAST!

If Lindy got replaced with a Skull... where's Skrullindy during WWH?

Or even regular LindY?

StoneGold
12-19-2007, 02:45 PM
I've had this theory for a while that Lindy isn't anything more than a hard light construct held together by Sentry's subconscious.

Ragnorok64
12-19-2007, 02:46 PM
Lindy's got to be a skrull because even if Sentry is crazy, Ultron isn't and since she doesn't have telepathy that I'm aware of she killed something in their bedroom. Also it seems Sentry must have been holding back or seomthing because when he finally got his hands on her and didn't care he literally tore her head off. Though even powered by a thermonuclear device, isn't punching out Sentry a good bit above Mr. Marvel?

Pyro
12-19-2007, 03:03 PM
Lindy could be a Skrull...

But that wasn't the first thing that occurred to me. Instead I thought of when Sentry first showed up in New Avengers, convinced his wife was dead and ended up not being dead. Maybe this is following up on that, saying that Sentry wasn't completely crazy when we first met him, and that there's still more about him that we dont' know.

Ultron killed the Skrull and the current Lindy is in Sentry's mind.

Good issue. Exciting and tense. Wasp saves Ares, Everyone on the team had a little spotlight (except Black Widow)

Like most of Bendis stuff (most any 6 issue arc), it will read much better as a whole.

Still does not explain what happened to Ultron, will have to wait for Conquest to offer the explanation?

Well she cought him completly off guard and it's not like she took him out, she just knocked him away enough for the plan to be completed..

Sentry was obviosly in a complete blind rage on some warrior madness type stuff, so not suprising he tore her head right off, when before he was getting spanked.

If you want to hunt down threads related to the second Sentry mini, my theory towards the whole thing early on was that it was basically a physical manifestation of Sentry's psychosis.

Would a hardlight construct bleed though? Lindy was pretty battered up...

this is really interesting! Just hope we get some answers relatively soonish rather than a 9 month draw out subplot.

Why not? Depends on how realistic he built her.

Yea if he thinks he's seeing her dead then his mind would most likely see/create the blood too.

So... Lindy might be to the Sentry what children are to Scarlet Witch?

Imaginary, and drives them crazy.

Maybe he was hoping Lindy was dead so he could go shtup Crystal from the Inhumans.

I'm 99.9% sure Wonder Man is a skrull. He's the most sure character right now where I can say i'd be completely expecting it.

I liked Ares, but I thought this was a team superhero book. I felt like the characters were not utilized enough. Also pretty lame the way Ultron is taken out. Sentry's wife is probably a skrull now. Also Ms. Marvel is too b@tchy in this. Issue's virus battle felt a little too fast for me and pretty lame.

If you're talking about the stuff shown in new avengers, that looks it'll only be the first issue of the arc... Judging from this month's solicits, there's a LOT more to it then that, including time travel.

Anyway, the way I read the Sentry scene is that he somehow healed Lindy... Although StoneGold's theory could make sense too. Either way, seems like Bendis set-up the scene on purpose in way to make us wonder what the hell happened.

Oh, and I don't get why Wonder-man could be a skrull. He hasn't done anything skrully at all in this arc.

does someone wanna maybe post a summary for those of us who ahven't read it yet please??
- Hank Pym tells Ares and the SHIELD crew about his plan to unleash a virus inside of Ultron.

- Ares carries out the plan on his hover vehicle and goes inside of Ultron's mouth.

- He's attacked by anti-viruses built into Ultron as well as the ones that were a part of Tony's. Ultron Notices that his body has been invaded, Black Widow orders the Mighty Avengers to evacuate while Ares works from the inside.

- Hank Pym starts to talk about Tony's new powers and how they might be able to help him cope with major damage done by either the Avengers or Ultron himself.

- Meanwhile Sentry is pissed off at Ultron for killing Lindy and totally wails on him. Black Widow tries to contact Sentry to break off from the fight since it would endanger Ares's mission but Sentry doesn't have a communication device to make contact with. Simon tries to stop him but Sentry knocks him back. At this point Sentry is ripping off Ultron's head, Ares is still having trouble with the "antibodies".

- Ms. Marvel surprise attacks Sentry and knocks him away from Ultron using the built up power she absorbed from the nuke.

- Ares manages to get loose from the antibodies and plants the virus and initiaties it. Ultron becomes noticeably affected with bright red swelling over his face and body, at this point Ares is overwhelmed and gets swarmed by the anti-virus spiked objects. This is a big problem since Ultron is melting down while Ares is still inside.

- Wasp shrinks down and speeds inside of Ultron and rescues Ares, we also get a very brief look at true Ultron while he's transforming back into Tony. A bright light explosion happens and Tony's body is seen falling from the sky.

- Next page we see Tony waking up in front of the Avengers and is shown to be fully healed by the Extremis as Reed Richards and Hank examine him.

- Tony thanks them all for helping defeat Ultron and bringing him back. Hank tells Tony that Ultron was very close to achieving perfect A.I.. There's also a convo between Carol and Tony and she thinks that the team is coming together well for an inexperienced group (as a team not individually) and comments on Sentry being a serious wild card. She also notices that Tony had the weather satellites up there without telling her and she thinks that one day Tony's going to be "crucified" for trying to be king of the world.

- Back at the Avengers Tower Sentry is surprised to see Lindy alive and well even though he saw Ultron kill her. Meanwhile Carol and Simon meet on the roof, share a brief kiss and Simon tells her that she should utilize him more often since he's as strong as Sentry and Carol. I would imagine that Simon is referring to Sentry's instability but this is also a gloaty character trait common with Simon.

But he then tells her that the Avengers go before them as a couple.

- Hank and Janet share a brief conversation about Ultron and Hank's recent hook-up with Tigra. Hank and Janet aren't exactly on good terms but the thought balloons reveal that they still have feelings for each other even if they don't share it openly. At the end of the page we see image of Ultron on a computer screen with that ever present hamster smile on his face leading us to believe that he has survived and is still out there.

- Cue final scene. We see Tony sleeping but then we see a red figure lurking in the shadows, she starts speaking to Tony and reveals herself to be Spider-Woman with the Elektra skrull in tow telling Tony that they need to talk.

This all leads into the Illuminati #5 which kicks off Secret Invasion alongside Avengers: The Initiative and future Skrull reveals.

It's Doom's Law. And Doom's Law is like Doom's Love- Hard and Fast.

I throughly enjoyed this arc, but the thought bubbles killed it a little for me, I find them incredibly annoying. The delays were worthly for the gorgeous art alone.

Tony Stark checking if "it was still there" after being told Ultron turned into a female was just perfect, as well as Pym's line about size. Bendis usually loses me with his genital obsessed humor but this was spot on.

I'm curious as to what the Sentry did to his wife when he touched her with his glowing hand a few issues back that now she's alive and well.

Well, they threw in Godzilla in the first issue, so I guess other guest spots isn't terribly suprising. I'll miss that in the book if that ends after Cho is gone.

i dunno, i kinda looooooooooved this issue. i feel like it finally lived up to a classic Avengers Ultron type story, esp the little Ultron cameo at the end on the computer panel, saying "ill be back bitches!"

i loved each character was given a little spotlight time, esp Jan. it was high time for her to crap or get off the toliet and i think she finally made a move. i disagree with Carol being to bitchy..she is supposed to be in charge, i think her issues with Sentry are very valid and Tony needs to be checked. Sentry's wife is totally a Skrull! and i hope Hank continues to be in the supporting cast, i like the guy despite always being written as a total putz.

overall, im glad MA is finally getting on its feet, i am excited to see where it goes....

I virus isn't exactly original... but given the particular situation it was necessary. They could have had Sentry just smash the hell out of Ultron (towards the end there I honestly think he could have), but that wouldn't have done Tony any favors. They needed a more subtle sollution.

For this it worked, because it allowed several people to get a bit more spotlight too.

I agree. Though Bendis as we all know is a decompressed writer, having delays like this kills any kind of momentum a story like this can have. Heck, at this point we even have a pretty good idea how the next story is going to go... the delays make it impossible to really feel the level of satisfaction we should regardless of the writing (which I honestly thought wasn't too bad by Bendis standards in terms of pacing).

Bendis usage of thought bubbles are a bit experimental in how they are used, and clearly not to everyone's taste.

Myself... I like them. I think on occasion they are funny. And they really humanize a lot of the characters. As big, brave and powerful as these larger than life heroes are... deep down they can be as silly, stupid, or as perverted as we are. To me that makes them more appealing.

Bendis mentioned their relationship as "fascinating" and yet very damaging at the same time. As much as they try to date other people, they still have feelings towards each other and I'll admit that's pretty interesting. Janet even found it sad that Hank went out with Tigra although it seems like Bendis is laying it thick with the other characters disliking Tigra's more "uninhibited" nature.

XPac
12-20-2007, 11:06 AM
I'm okay with Jan and Hank having unresolved issues as long as it's not forced down our throats too hard.

There's no point in any writer deciding to have Hank at least move on in any kind of decisive way, because it's a given that sooner or later it'll come back again. His Jan issues defining elements of his character... that'll never be completely buried.

At this point, Hank and Jan aren't a couple you can really root for (or at least I can't say that). But they're like a car wreck... no matter how messy it is, you can't help but slow down to watch in utter facisnation.

I believe the Sentry somehow brought his wife back to life here, and apparently so does he, since he comments on that this issue. Maybe he wasn't that insane when he was first introduced, and brought her back to life then as well.

So, as interesting as it would be if the Sentry's wife was a skrull, giving them the power to contro lthe most powerful superhuman on Earth, I don't think it's the case.

You know with so much time between issues I almost forget what happened in the last month so thanks for the refresh.

That certainly looks like healing although I don't think Lindy's a skrull since she never reverted back to skrull form but it's hard to say what's really going on there. StoneGold's theory looks to be the closest in that she's a part of Robert's imagination.

By the way, do the character names popping up in every issue like in the scan above bother anyone?

Yeah, if you re-read the arc from the start, it's pretty damn good. the probelm was this book was supposed to be a cornerstone of the Post-CW universe and the delays not only robbed it of that, but robbed it of the urgency that it had during the arc.

You put it perfectly with the Train wreck argument. I'm not so keen on them as a happy couple, but I love Hank and Jan's issues. they obviously care for eachother, but also can't stand eachother. Having them in the same book is a real treat.

Count me among those who really enjoy the thought bubbles. I often find them amusing and they seem to have taken away some of the stuttery dialogue Bendis used to do where everyone cut everyone else off.

I wouldn't mind if he resurrected her. He's supposed to be of God-Like thor-level power already... however I agree with some of the posters above. She's probably a mental construct of his, like the Void.

I'm with the construct theory. I suspect she serves a subconscious purpose in his mind of helping him piece things back together; Bob knows he's screwed up. I think he created her to try and deal with that.

Got the issue today, really liked it. Still not a fan of the thought bubbles, but oh well. Shame to see Cho go, but this book is possibly one of the most important to keep on time. in my opinion Artist should have been swapped as soon as it became apparent delays were going to occur. but oh well.

Also thanks for the scan of last issue, i didnt even notice Sentry's hand glowing last time. interesting...

Ummm... you say this while at the same general time, the guy in your avatar is trying to resurrect his wife, and doing a semi-decent job of it?


I'm still willing to bet that that while yes, he technically resurrected her, he was the one giving her "life" in the first place. Which would really explain when she was cheating on him. Really, if you were married to a man who could theoretically blow up the earth, would you bang around on him? Would you be that suicidal? But if she was just projecting on his own negative self-worth, it would all make sense.

This book reads like the ending of Civil War #7. (Not literally, the structure of ending and, the aftermath sequences). The epilogue snatches were a kind of summing up relationships, and the end just closed out the fight.

Tony's eventual reappearance was so flimsily explained, it hardly was neccessary. They could have just told us - 'Well, Tonys back'.

My biggest beef with the epilogue was the kiss sequence with Carol and Simon. I thought Carols kiss in Ms Marvel was just a tactical ploy and had no emotional significance, and now they kiss all the time? I'm stumped. Carol hardly even feels a connection, and Simon is rambling.

Eh, this issue would've been better if it wasn't delayed. . .

Cho's art is AMAZING as always, it's a shame it takes a long time to get an issue from him out though. . .

I LOL'd at the part where Wonder-Man said he was as Strong as the Sentry.

Maybe he should re-read WWH where he gets punked by the Hulk's crew. It's pretty sad that when you have your logo/name displayed, you're getting b*+ch slapped by Sunshine Sentry.

The thought bubbles were cute. . .after issue #1.

Tony's reaction after hearing he was turned to a she was classic Tony.

Am I the only one that found it wierd that reed had his finger on a picture of Tony, right on his lips. . .I know I'm just nitpicking to be nitpick but Reed's face is . . .questionable. . .

But enough about the bad stuff, let's look on the bright side! The art was phenomenal and worth the 3 bucks by itself, it was kinda nice to see Wasp and Hank talk about Tigra, I really like the use of sound effects, and I liked the coloring and . . .The Order came out on the same day!

I liked the moment Ms. Marvel shared with Tony and her private thoughts about Tony, but I thought the Wonder Man part with her was boring.

And I personally think Sentry's wife is skrull and Sunshine has no super secret healing powers.

Why?

Well in issue #5 the was alot of blood on the wall, ALOT of blood. In this issue, the walls look pretty clean to me. I could be wrong and it could be just a "blooper". ..

I don't know. . .

Healing her I could buy. But flat out resurrecting dead people, way too retarded. He drank a serum, he's not the Beyonder, he's a superhero in the most traditional sense.

Yea a MAGICAL being empowered by GODS, who's trying to resurrect a wife who also had MAGICAL powers from Gods, by using things like the Lazarus Pit and etc.

Sentry is a superhero, not a God, he drank a serum. He's not magical in any sense and he's not using any magical objects or locations or courses. If you really wonna compare this, it would be like Superman touching Lois and resurrecting her. Seriosly. Stupid.

I am still willing to bet that even if Lindy isn't a Skrull, resurrection isn't exactly the right word for what happened. We know Sentry can make hard light manifestations of things from his subconscious. My only question, assuming she's not a Skrull, is if she was ever truly alive to begin with?

I called Lindy as a skrull back when Secret Invasion was first announced... now I'm not so sure. She definately exists outside the Sentry's mind, because we've seen other people interacting with her.

If she's some kind of construct, maybe Ulton wasn't trying to kill her, but to infect her. She could start spitting out baby Ultrons at any moment now.




I hope Hank Pym goes after the Hood with a vengence now, after the whole Tigra beatdown thing.

I find it very wacky that a serum developed in the 40's for Captain America could give a man god level power. Even my favorite Wonder Man whose origin is closer to Hulk I have always thought it would make a better explanation to introduce something like Zemo trying to genetically match his allys Executioner & Enchantress and getting really lucky. That Sentry origin has to be retconned otherwise it sounds very stupid.

The serum that gave sentry his powers was made long, long after the 40's, and was considerably stronger. Not that I'm defending it if he did indeed resurrect Lindy, but I'd be curious to see how it plays out.

I also vote for the hard light construct. It makes the most sense both with his given history, and in terms of setting up a new future story. Plus, if it is a Skrull, then the light over her face thing is just a ridiculous and stupid random panel. The 'she's made by his mind' thing makes perfect sense.



That said, her being a Skrull could be a nice piece of writing if done properly. For example, a skrull worker in Avengers tower sees what's going on and takes advantage of it, immediately occupying an incredibly powerful position by accident.

If Avengers: The Illuminati ties into plans for stuff that's upcoming, such as the Skrull Invasion... who's to say the Sentry isn't actually the Beyonder?

The heroes win, Sentry showcases his insanity (with his anger and believing his wife to be alive again--at least I hope his insanity is what explains the latter one), and Ultron lives on to go rule the Phalanx. All in all, not a bad read. Pretty quick and easy to follow. Cho's art didn't bother me much this issue, but I'm not sure why.

The thought bubbles between or even within sentences are still annoying, though. It leads to some out of character moments (like Wonder Man thinking they're all crazy for trying this plan and the mental exchange between Jan and Hank).

But it was at least better than I was expecting, so that's good.

No. I think there was something totally wrong with that whole conversation and activity (kissing). It felt like the person in the body of Simon, didn't know how to act like Simon. He acted like he was trying to be like Wonder Man, but was no where near how Simon would behave. You say Simon has been like this since for ever. But in the Ms Marvel book, he never showed that kind of detail in his logic, when dealing with Carol. He sounded like a 12 year old kid.

I don't see your reasoning here other than to push the theory that Simon is a skrull. I think of it more like a lack of coordination between writers. For one thing Carol would have acted out her surprise by being straight with him like..."woha..what thing are you talking about Simon, we are just good friends you are misunderstanding". Carol is not one to stay quiet unless she suspects Simon and for her response & behavior in her own book we know that is not the case.

I don't this agree that Thor can't take Hulk, and I won't even bother touching the Thor vs Sentry debate. But for a variety or reasons, I would argue that WWH doesn't decisively say anything about whether any of the three can beat the other.

I think killing the Beyonder's moral form was destroyed. But Thanos said Beyonders body should be kept alive and brain dead... if the body dies, the Beyonder would essence would go free again.

At the Beyonderslevel of power there is no reason he could/t be lieing brain dead and be the Sentry. Reality is just a concept for him it doesn't limit him. If he doesn't like it he can create a new one.

I wouldn't call it "making rules"--Simon was simply calling Carol on her behaviour about him since becoming team leader. Unfortunately, the huge gap between issues makes it unclear what Simon's talking about since she didn't do it in this particular issue. But if you look back over the rest of the arc, on several occassions Carol keeps Simon back and sends Sentry in his place. Simon is just pointing out that kind of over-protective behaviour is both unnecessary (given his strength and invulnerability) and inappropriate for her as team leader. Carol was letting her personal feelings for Simon interfere with her job, and he was pointing it out to her. I wouldn't call that infantile at all--he was pointing out a problem before it became too serious.

You are right about the Sentry and probably Ms Marvel but they would be corpses.

The scenario was if the thugs Stark works for had pulled of Wide awake. Nova left instead of fighting as he had bigger responsibilities than the whole trivial CW . He showed great control in dealing with the Thunderbolts. I doubt he would show the same restraint after finding out about mass mudrer of the Meta's. When he was here he was a Level 12 that seems to put him at the level of Thor and above the Surfer. He also has more combat experience in an all out conflict than anyone of the avengers who survive. Only Cap had seen anything as intense as a real unlimited war. The Thunderbolts would not have lasted seconds againt a guy who could take down hundreds of sentries at a time, neither would Shield.

Nova not the kid he was, he's a powerhouse.


Is there some offical system that says Surfer is below "class 12" and that explains these "classes". Cuz if there is I missed it..

You really say it like it's a fact when it's the farthest thing from it.

furthest thing from it is that Nova would eat Sentry alive. and thats just not true.

i don't even like Sentry and i can acknowledge that he's at the top of the stack. he's someone who could slap fight w/ the Hulk. the Void, an extension of Robert, could basically kill every being on the planet. knowing this, why is that such a bold statement?

Thats the closest I can find, narvel used to have classes like this on thier webpage. The Level 12 comes from when Nova arrived back on earth and shield noticed.

Thor is Three tiers below and Iron Man 4.

I agree that Sentry could take out Nova, but at these power levels would there be a planet left. We are taking about exploding Suns and Wormholes as weapons/ Would there even be a solor System left? It would be like Franklin Richards at full power getting mad reality would be in danger.

Odds are Sentry would take his usual position of standing in the background doing absolutely nothing.

In THEORY Sentry could stop Nova. Whether or not anything even close to resembling that woud actually happen is kind of questionable.

nothing i've observed about Robert makes me think that any of this would play a factor in the @##kicking he hands out. he's not much of a thinker. if he were attacked, he would attack back. the longer the fight goes, the more out of control/stronger he would get. if the solar system were damaged during this fight, he would cry about it later or heal it with his magic hand lights.

really wouldn't put much stock in that site..it's a fan site...its voted by them.....and also the comic states Nova is 12....he's not 12 on that site marvels site has the old power level things from 1 to 7. it ranks sentry slower, less durable and less fighting skill then both thor and surfer...

but we all know those don't mean anything..what happens is whatever serves the story.

I think the power level is about right though Nova is a peer with the Surfer He now has Hundereds of times the power he had before. Tony and Shield seemed pretty shook up about his arrival. Stark sure arrived with enough back-up

By the way, those who were wondering what happened to Sentry's wife. Go back and check the issue she was murdered. I was re-reading the book to check for any Skrully hints. And also cause the delays have made it annoying. The panel that shows Sentry holding her and closing her eyes while Ultron taunts him. There's a glow coming from Sentry's hand washing over her face that was easy to miss before, right before he flips and goes after Ultron again. So I'd definatly rule out Skrullyness, and say that he actually did bring her back to life. Especially considering Ultron notes at the same time, some unknown energy readings coming from Sentry.

Edit: Was re-reading the thread, I see someone mentioned it around page 5. Pay me no mind. :)

don´t know why so many people think of skrulls or mind games concering sentry´s wife.
isn´t it obvious that he brought her back?
(sorry if this was discussed in a later state of the thread, in that case i missed it, 10 pages already)

and that finally makes sentry the ultimate copy of solar, man of the atom (imho), whose wife was also being kept alife due to the man´s omnipotent powers.

maybe other readers don´t care, but to me it was a huge let down.

it was discussed in the post before your own. :confused:

so, someone clue me in. why should i purchase the next story arc on this book when New Avengers already showed the results of it?

It showed the results. But not the Doom part of the storyline.

All it really showed is that the heroes won. Is anyone really going into this thinking, "Ooh, Venom infestation. I bet that'll beat them. There's no way the protagonists can win this one!"

Really, I think everyone already knew they were going to prevail in the end. A good story isn't about the destination; it's all about the journey.

With regards to the Ares not having any thought bubbles in this issue, he's had enough in the previous ones to solidify him being who he says he is.

I'd say only Wasp/Wonderman and Ms. Marvel are in the running. Between that and one of the MA defecting to the NA, that team might be looking a tad lean...

i prefer to read my threads from the beginning, you know? so when i saw beast´s comment after posting my own, i thought there was no need to edit the exact text into my post, considering i already said that i did not read about that subject in the beginning of the thread.

monty mcwisenheimer?

besides, it was only a part of my point and not the basic message. solar is mentioned nowhere else.

so, someone clue me in. why should i purchase the next story arc on this book when New Avengers already showed the results of it?

some of us enjoy the art of story telling in itself. try espn for thrilling conclusions
