Created in the 2000s as part of an elaborate scheme to convince the public they were reviving a lost creation of Stan Lee; The Sentry is one of the more complicated heroes in the Marvel Universe with an equally complicated legacy. But that Legacy will now fall into new hands as a new generation will gain the powers of the Golden Guardian.
Marvel Comics has officially unveiled the set of covers for SENTRY #1 by writer Jason Loo and artist Luigi Zagaria due in stores on December 6, 2023, as well as part of the cast that is set to inherit the powers of Bob Reynolds and uncover the mystery of why they have gained these powers in the first place. With the help of two veteran heroines, Jessica Jones and Misty Knight. Among the new characters set to take on the legacy of The Sentry are Mallory Gibbs, a writer for Front Line news who lives with cerebral palsy; Farhad Anand, a mutant keeping a low profile as a DoorDash bicycle courier; and Ryan Topper, a teenage fanboy who gets to live his dream of becoming a super hero, among a few others. How are these seemingly ordinary people connected to Bob Reynolds and the Sentry?
The synopsis is as follows:
“The Sentry is dead, but ordinary people all over the world are suddenly manifesting his powers and experiencing snippets of Bob Reynolds’ memories. But not everyone can be trusted with such responsibility, sparking a violent conflict to control the Sentry’s legacy. Will one of them survive long enough to emerge as the new Sentry? Or will their newfound power destroy them?
When Misty Knight and Jessica Jones cross paths in search of answers, they open an investigation that will change everything you think you know about the Sentry!”
