THE GOLDEN GUARDIAN IS BACK! FRESH FROM THE PAGES OF DOCTOR STRANGE... …but is that really such a good thing? The greatest hero that the Marvel Universe ever forgot has returned! The Sentry - shining sentinel with the power of a thousand exploding suns - is back from the dead, but his troubled mind is far from finding peace. By day, he trudges through a mundane life as Bob Reynolds; at night, the Sentry soars across a gleaming, perfect skyline. But how much of the Sentry's dual existence is real? And what of his dark other self, the Void? Jeff Lemire (MOON KNIGHT, Black Hammer) returns to Marvel and unites with Kim Jacinto (AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER) for this mind-bending series that will shake the Sentry, and the Marvel Universe, to its foundations. Rated T+

Reviews
Jeff Lemire had an excellent recent run on Moon Knight, a character who has a lot of problems, most caused by him due to a series of issues related to his brain being broken. His broken brain (rarely) has led to a direct chance that the world will end. Enter Bob.
Bob also has a broken brain. When his brain is actively breaking, it creates the Void, a villain so destructive it can destroy the world. That sucks for Bob, because he is the Sentry, a glorious champion of good with nothing but purity and light in his heart.
Well, maybe that one small part isn't so pure.
Doctor Strange worked long and hard during Donny Cates' run to get the Sentry a safe space. Now that space is gone, and everything might be at risk. What happens when someone can kill your imaginary friends? Lemire seems like a good person to be the one to figure that out. The art is is very indy lackluster in the 'real world'. That's unfortunate. It does help separate the pocket universe material. Why not just have the whole thing look as nice as possible though?
If you like your super heroics clean and simple, you probably won't like it.
