Nice blog. I just bookmarked you on my bloglines.

I really liked the Sentry. I felt like his story arc was actually going somewhere as opposed to most comic book characters who just fight and live to fight another day.
Philosophically speaking, the Sentry was on par with the Sandman, Silver Surfer, Dr. Manhattan, and Dr. Strange. These are beings with endless power, but the conflict is in the “why” not the “how” of facing conflict.
I don’t know why people would rather read Spiderman beating up whomever is next, or Cap and Ironman getting along just fine. I learn more about the human condition from characters like the Sentry.
I know it is a hard story to resolve, since how do you resolve the struggle of morality and the human spirit? (Which is why all those characters I mentioned earlier are now Deus Ex Machinas mostly.) But I think Bendis rocked it, and it’s too bad we didn’t get to see it all pan out.
I agree Andy you are right on that is why I follow these powerful characters to test the human condition and stretch the imagination to see what we are capable of. The only limits we have on imagination is in the mind. Thanks for your comments, Walt
Insightful website:) I am going to want a decent amount of time to entertain this blog.
