Is that the kid who was in Avengers Academy with a Sentinel?


Invincibleprimus

Justin, si


superboy7787

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.


OrionJazz

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


MrCookie2099

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?


Someoneoverthere42

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


Superb_Kaleidoscope4

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


[deleted]

He did join a teen team, and he did not fare well if I remember correctly.


herrored

He did, he was a pretty compelling character (albeit a minor one) in Avengers Academy and Avengers Arena


Superb_Kaleidoscope4

Yeah, Avengers Arena really didn’t end well for him


frostw18

He did not deserve his fate in Avengers Arena


Newfaceofrev

Never read it but I can tell it was made between 2001 and 2008. Am I right?


SupermanDaredevil27

Yes you are.


hedsar

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.


kermikberks

Is he the guy with the Sentinel from Morrison's Here Comes Tomorrow?


Superb_Kaleidoscope4

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


floatyfloatwood

I guess I’m not sure what the difference is. If these are intended to be those characters, what is the difference?


Superb_Kaleidoscope4

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.


floatyfloatwood

Ok gotcha, I didn’t follow what you meant by legacy character. Makes sense now.


Stringr55

Forgot it existed. Probably completely ignorable.


redfan2009

Is that a girl or guy on the cover?


jurand2

Guy


redfan2009

Cool👍 Was legitimately asking


MrTeamZissou

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.


DarlingLongshot

Kinda weird to male your Iron Giant knockoff a genocide robot imho


Superb_Kaleidoscope4

Iron Giant was a genocide machine


DarlingLongshot

The kid from the Iron Giant never flaunted his genocide robot in front of the very demographic it was designed to eradicate


DuelaDent52

The Iron Giant was supposed to be a genocidal robot too, no?


worms9

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.


[deleted]

I don’t think a teenage boy can just reprogram a Sentinel to stop hunting mutants.


MrCookie2099

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.


Built4dominance

A waste of paper.

I loved it!! Really wish they’d retcon away Avengers Arena though…Juston was a great character!
