After the rather absurd label of “manga-influenced” was applied to not very manga-looking superhero art in the mid-to-late 90s, Americans (& Canadians) doing actual manga-influenced art gained steam. People like Adam Warren,…

Sentry 5
Things are weird from page one this month. The idea that this machine has been keeping the whole world from remembering him the whole time is a bit much! But we’re in…
Sentry 4
This issue picks up from the last so completely that you have to wonder if this was meant to be one big book at some point. I mean, Reed’s just responding to…

TAC 199

MTU 053
I found this one could be hard to get at a reasonable price. At first, I thought it was like ASM 119-120, where it’s still just an early meeting between our hero…
