September 24, 2011 9:51 am The Sentry is a classic example of a Mary Sue character. We're always told how he's more powerful than, smarter than, and just plain better any other Marvel character even to the point where *proven* heroic characters like Ben Grimm are so jealous they contemplate murdering him, but then all he shows us is how much of a whiney cry-baby he is.

September 17, 2011 1:49 am Interesting. I looked at it and thought it appeared about right as Sarah Michelle Gellar is rather petite in real life. Next to a guy of average height or taller she's always going to appear tiny.

September 2, 2011 1:49 pm Again, this is a case where the OHOTMU handles powers in an interesting, albeit vague way. Black Bolt's scream is called 'quasi-sonic' which I take to mean that it doesn't follow the same rules that normal sound does. However, the OHOTMU also explicitly states that Black Bolt's voice creates a shockwave and is reliant on his ability to manipulate electrons which would again mean his powers would be practically useless where there is no atmosphere. Marvel's War of Kings cosmic storyline from a couple years ago did show definitively that Black Bolt's powers do indeed work in outer space, however, as his voice was directed as a weapon by Attilan (now a gigantic spaceship) to destroy entire fleets of Skrull, Kree, and Shi'Ar spacecraft and was harnessed for the Inhumans' echo-tech which was capable of creating impenetrable forcefields and so forth that all worked in the vacuum of space. So it appears that his powers do not truly rely on sound or electrons much at all and would seem more likely to me to psionic in nature, which is basically code for 'brain-magic'.

August 30, 2011 1:54 pm Shogun Warriors would be #1 for me.

August 23, 2011 1:41 pm Wow, there are a LOT of really beautiful covers in there.
