Review: Mighty Avengers 14

Mighty Avengers 14 is a tie-in to the greater Secret Invasion major continuity storyline of Marvel. This story is focused on the Sentry, after he freaks out when one of the opposing Skrulls shapeshifts into a semblance of his schizo-induced nemesis The Void.

The whole issue's core ideas about the Sentry can be summed up better by the characters themselves:


Skrull Queen:
"If he's such a risk, why does Stark keep him around?"
Jarvis-Skrull:
"Because he doesn't know what else to do with him."
Skrull Queen:
"Well, we finally have something in common with Tony Stark."

Also, this lovely snippet from Doctor Doom in an earlier Mighty Avengers issue, also regarding the Sentry:


Dr. Doom:
"Your friend is not well."

After seeing the following comic panels, I'm very much inclined to agree...



Do not waaaaaaant...


He runs away very quickly doesn't he? That's the moon...


That's the asteroid belt. Major freakout expression right here.


I think the penciller of this issue captured the Sentry's emotional and mental state perfectly, don't you?


The Crying Game in space. These images are simply beyond words.

Yep. Nothing more needs to be said about the issue. I don't know whether to laugh or feel disturbed.
