Right in time with Steven Yuen set to become the MCU’s Sentry, Marvel Comics reveals designs for its new version, which sees Robert Reynolds replaced by at least three characters.
“The power of the Sentry falls into new hands,” states the article.
The art reveals three characters including Farhad, Mallory, and Ryan.
Update: Marvel has revealed Mallory is The Sentry.
The article adds, “The saga of Bob Reynolds and the Sentry was one of the defining Marvel Comics mysteries of the 2000s. Now, it’s time to reveal a whole new layer behind Marvel’s Golden Guardian! Bob Reynolds is long gone, but the limitless power of the Sentry can never be destroyed, and if he doesn’t return to claim it, others will… Who will be next to wield the power of a million exploding suns?”
In addition to character designs, variant covers are also revealed.
Who will seize on the opportunity to take over as Sentry!” states the announcement. “From various walks of life, some will use the power to make the world a better place while others will unleash its full destructive potential! In the end, only one will walk away as the new Sentry—ready to impact the Marvel Universe for better or for worse!”
Jason Loo, the writer behind the series, offers plot details.
“This entire series is a mystery where we follow Jessica Jones and Misty Knight as they figure out these catastrophic accidents caused by random strangers with the Sentry’s powers,” said Loo. “You’re going to witness a bunch of origin stories, like Mallory Gibbs, a writer for Front Line news who lives with cerebral palsy. Farhad Anand is a mutant keeping a low profile as a DoorDish bicycle courier. And Ryan Topper, a teenage fanboy who gets to live his dream of becoming a super hero. And there are a few more further into the story. But the real question is….how are they all connected to Robert Reynolds?”
A description further offers:
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!
