I mean, Reed\u2019s just responding to the last thing Strange said. For an industry that has always fretted about people coming in and being confused, this is crrrrazy. But the 2000s were crazy. Well, Strange shows Reed a lil\u2019 flashback in his movie screen hand gesture of Reed getting ready to turn on a machine which will presumably make everyone forget the Sentry, and the rest of the FF visibly worried, and Reed telling Strange to promise him that if anyone ever remembers the Sentry, he\u2019ll do everything he can to make them forget. In the present, Reed intuits that Strange blew up the VCR, and now Strange wants to know what Reed\u2019s answer is. Meanwhile, the Sentry has made it to Westchester, and the X-Mansion. All your favorites are gonna be in this one! Professor X is training the Angel, when Bob starts mentally communicating with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob tells Charlie the Void is returning, and Professor X instinctively asks how that could be possible despite not really remembering who that is. Bob says he\u2019s not sure yet, and then Xavier snaps out of it and marshals the X-Men. Meanwhile, an international team of heroes is shown having been devastated and mostly killed by the Void somewhere in Europe. I don\u2019t really know who these guys are, but the ones left alive at their base have no idea what\u2019s going on when they hear a \u201clarge black cloud\u201d is heading for Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mmmmmman it\u2019s bothering me I can\u2019t source that Peter Parker. It\u2019s so clearly not Romita or Kane or Andru or Buscema. Also, why is the photo Peter took of the Sentry on the cover of Clarion? Well, as he ponders that, Bob finds Tony Stark, because everyone\u2019s part of this. Tony seems to remember him a little, like the spell\u2019s wearing off. Bob angrily wants to know why they would do this to him, and then we get a Jim Lee-ish flashback page\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the present, Tony says he can\u2019t remember who made everyone forget Bob. But Bob says the Void is returning, and asks Tony to petition the other heroes for him. Tony remembers enough to be scared. Then\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things are headed into something like Miracleman territory. Elsewhere, Bob is convinced he was betrayed, that everyone forgetting him was some evil done to him, but he can\u2019t figure out what happened. He feels drawn to a certain part of town that people feel they\u2019re not to supposed to go to, and suddenly\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most Jae Lee-looking building you could possibly draw. I\u2019ve been wondering if Quesada\u2019s chat with Stan Lee in the backs of these really involved Stan at all. If he helped write any of it. Seems somewhat unlikely. Both of them are quite scared of the mystery and the Void by this point. The way the real people were supposedly scared of the events in the book was a little much for me. Like the idea that the Sentry might be a real unused concept was interesting, but it only took a few issues of these \u201cinterviews\u201d to make it clear this was all a gag. 2000s Marvel is such a unique thing in comics\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
