The Sentry Omnibus David Finch Cover - by Paul Jenkins & Brian Michael Bendis (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The complete saga of the legendary Golden Guardian of Good -- and his dark half!

Your name is Bob Reynolds. You watch cartoons, you drink too much and you're thirty pounds overweight. You're afraid of heights and hate crowds, and your wife blames you for your dog's moodiness. And you know you were once a super hero. You were the Sentry. But then something terrible happened. Something that caused the world to forget you. Now it's happening again -- and the Sentry must return. But where he goes, the Void must follow! Now, Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee's acclaimed (re)introduction of the Sentry into the Marvel Universe is collected with the stories that built on that legacy -- including "classic" lost tales of his adventures during the birth of the Marvel Age! With the strength of a million exploding suns, will the Sentry find a place in the New Avengers? Will death be the end of his triumph and torment? Or will the power of the Sentry live on? In Bob -- or in someone else entirely?!

About the Author

An Eisner Award winner for his work on Inhumans, Paul Jenkins helped reveal Wolverine's untold history in Origin and introduced a "forgotten" hero of the Marvel Universe in Sentry. In addition to his comics work on such series as Spectacular Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk and Civil War: Front Line, he is a prolific writer of video games, including Radical Entertainment's Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Jenkins returned to DC Comics in 2011, writing New 52 titles Batman: The Dark Knight and Stormwatch.

Award-winning comic-book creator Brian Michael Bendis is one of the most successful writers in the industry today. In addition to an acclaimed run on Daredevil, he has helmed a renaissance for Marvel's popular Avengers franchise and written the event projects House of M, Secret War, Secret Invasion, Siege, Age of Ultron and Civil War II. Bendis wrote every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man from its launch in 2000 before bringing his multiracial Spider-Man, Miles Morales, to the Marvel Universe for continuing adventures. He took on Marvel's mutants in the pages of All-New X-Men and Uncanny X-Men, and launched Guardians of the Galaxy into the stratosphere. Bendis shook up the life of Tony Stark in Invincible Iron Man and related titles, introducing Riri Williams as Ironheart, and then assembled street-level heroes Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Daredevil and his co-creation Jessica Jones in Defenders. His creator-owned projects include Scarlet with Alex Maleev, Brilliant with Mark Bagley, and Takio and the Eisner Award-winning Powers with Michael Avon Oeming.

Artist Jae Lee made a name for himself on Marvel's Namor the Sub-Mariner, his gothic style a stark departure from traditional comic art. After a short X-Factor arc, Lee decamped to the newly formed Image Comics -- illustrating the Youngblood Strikefile and WildC.A.T.s Trilogy miniseries, and introducing his own creation in Hellshock. In 1998, he won an Eisner Award for his distinctive work with writer Paul Jenkins on the Marvel Knights series Inhumans. He and Jenkins reteamed in 2000 for Sentry, the multilayered tale of a deliberately forgotten Silver Age hero. Continuing his Marvel Knights work, Lee illustrated Grant Morrison's Fantastic Four: 1234, an arc of Captain America and the Hulk/Thing: Hard Knocks limited series. After drawing an arc of Ultimate Fantastic Four, Lee was tapped to lend his distinctive style to Marvel's adaptations of Stephen King's Dark Tower novels.
