For what its worth, I found that watching a few epsiodes of 'Justice League Unlimited' was a great way to help my sis get into DC continuity, headache-free. After that, she breezed through Green Arrow, Identity Crises and GL: Rebirth. Think I'll introduce her to Teen Titans next, before having some sort of history class to prepare her for Infinite Crises.

Great article Josh.

Like most of the posters, I'm also a long time Ennis fan. I have to admit, I did really like his Punisher stuff, as 'Welcome Back Frank' really helped get the character back to basics.

As an aside, it was actually iFanboys episode on Preacher that got me interested in this site. Still one of my favourite episodes.

yeah, sorry, there seems to be a whole line of txt missing from my previous post.

 I meant to add that surely you can empathise as a fellow fan of someone who hasn't always been treated the best by writers, but has had his moments.

and the last line definitely wasn't supposed to appear in giant size. apologies if it looked like I was shouting at you or anything

Interesting article 

I live and hope for the day that the Sentry becomes a welcome addition to the Mavel Universe.

I'm a big fan of the character. His appearance in New Avengers sparked my interest to hunt down the original series, and the second mini cemented him in my imagniation.

My main frustration comes from hearing the same critiscisms on many, less mature sites, with very little constructive critiscism. (and considering the large amounts of dislike for Bob on this site, I salute you all for your handling ot the topic maturely)

But anyway:

First, it was "He throws everything into the sun". Twice, he did it twice. 

Constant freak outs. Ok, this is a fairly major concern. On the one hand, I liek the idea of Tony trying to keep him motivated, but it needs to be handled better. Of course, for every instance of inaction, there's been at least one or more cases of him hitting stuff. 

He has so far

* Ripped Carnage in two

* Thrown the Void into the Sun

* Subdued the new Super Adaptoid (great scene, btw)

* Fought off Terrax

* Helped defeat The Collective (after a pep talk from Cap)

* Held his own against the most powerful version of the Hulk to date (until Hulk talked him down)

* Smacked Female Ultron all over town, and clearly could have taken her out too

Not bad for a guy who never does anything :P
