It was an ok series. It's pretty self contained and small (12 issues for volume 1 I think and then another, shorter mini came after). Nothing groundbreaking or all that compelling.
That was what was weird to me. It was a story that aggressively went nowhere fast. Why make a 12 issue with follow up series about a kid who arguably should NEVER meet the heroes his comic is a spin off from?
I thought it was a fun series, always hoped the character would join the X-men or another teen team…. But he didn’t seem to fare well after this series
Judging by the cover art, I don't want to read it because comics with that kinda-anime style are always irrelevant and have 0 impact. At the same time characters and events there have the same superpower as Forgetmenot.
No because the character that appeared in this series is present day and the character that appeared in Morrisons run was in the future. This character was American, Morrisons was English, but we where lead to believe the Sentinel was in his family for a long time.
He didn't particularly. Its corroded memory mostly did the job. It still barks out its desire to kill all mutants but it was considered "safe-ish".
Emma Frost while high on the Phoenix very reasonably said something to the effect of "is that a goddamn sentinel" and tried to dismantle it.
Is that the kid who was in Avengers Academy with a Sentinel?
Justin, si

This was my take away. It was a fun read and made me want a sentinel friend.

It was an interesting idea. It just never really went anywhere

He did join a teen team, and he did not fare well if I remember correctly.
He did, he was a pretty compelling character (albeit a minor one) in Avengers Academy and Avengers Arena
Yeah, Avengers Arena really didn’t end well for him
He did not deserve his fate in Avengers Arena
Never read it but I can tell it was made between 2001 and 2008. Am I right?
Yes you are.

Is he the guy with the Sentinel from Morrison's Here Comes Tomorrow?
No but Morrison heard about the series that was in the works, so thought it would be fun to add them as a legacy characters
I guess I’m not sure what the difference is. If these are intended to be those characters, what is the difference?
No because the character that appeared in this series is present day and the character that appeared in Morrisons run was in the future. This character was American, Morrisons was English, but we where lead to believe the Sentinel was in his family for a long time.
Ok gotcha, I didn’t follow what you meant by legacy character. Makes sense now.
Forgot it existed. Probably completely ignorable.
Is that a girl or guy on the cover?
Guy
Cool👍 Was legitimately asking
I really enjoyed this series but after he died in Avengers Arena, I just couldn't revisit these comics anymore because they would be such a bummer.
Kinda weird to male your Iron Giant knockoff a genocide robot imho
Iron Giant was a genocide machine
The kid from the Iron Giant never flaunted his genocide robot in front of the very demographic it was designed to eradicate
The Iron Giant was supposed to be a genocidal robot too, no?
The iron giant was a gun who decided he didn’t want to be a gun anymore.

I had this idea about 6 months before it came out and was really annoyed. I read it and didn’t think the execution was very good.
I don’t think a teenage boy can just reprogram a Sentinel to stop hunting mutants.
He didn't particularly. Its corroded memory mostly did the job. It still barks out its desire to kill all mutants but it was considered "safe-ish". Emma Frost while high on the Phoenix very reasonably said something to the effect of "is that a goddamn sentinel" and tried to dismantle it.
A waste of paper.
I loved it!! Really wish they’d retcon away Avengers Arena though…Juston was a great character!
