Sentinels Anthology


I was sitting around this weekend watching Power Rangers with my son when I got two packages. One was the Aeon Flux cartoon DVD collection that I had bought for 10 bucks (Swwwweeeeeeeeeeeet) and the other was three copies of the new Sentinels Anthology!

During my long tenure as a comic book critic Sentinels was one of my favorite indy books. I quickly developed a friendship with its writer/creator Rich Bernatovech and we've remained great friends ever since he dropped the first two graphic novels in my lap.

Long story short: After 4 graphic novels the Sentinels story was finished...ALMOST. Rich asked his friends to do stories for a new graphic novel the Sentinels Anthology and he asked me to do one for Serpenta - who guest starred also in a Philly crossover.

From Rich's lips:

Serpenta
Ryan McLelland of “Wise Intelligence” and “Philly” fame wrote Serpenta’s story. Its knock-down funny, just as you’d expect from Ryan.
Andrew Charipar is the artist on Serpenta’s story and you’ll see why he is the only artist that could do it perfectly. You can check out some of Andrew work and his excellent original series, “Tales from the Cornerstone”, at http://www.misfitcorner.com.

The GN turned out GREAT and what he said was true...my story was pretty much knock-down funny. ;) The book will be in stores SOONISH...I know he's going through Previews so it might not be in bookstores for 3 some odd months... but via Rich's site http://www.sentinelsonline.com you can order it. Well...doesn't seem like you can order it YET...but soon baby soon!

Paybacks are a bitch though...I roped Rich into helping me scan pages for the new Wise Intelligence miniseries that will be out later this year!

War of the Independents Peek

My buddy Dave Ryan is putting together a MASSIVE event: War of the Independents. It brings together over 25 years of indy characters into one massive crossover! It looks phenom and...Philly is a part of it as The Trio will be running around in the book. I think Quik is even guesting in another book as well...though I'm not sure what is happening with that either. Ryan = Clueless.

I'm not sure how often The Trio will be in the book but I'm betting it won't be much. However it'll be cool to see Philly in comic stores somehowz.

If you are on Facebook there is a group and Dave's ComicSpace website is here!

Here's a page from the book...not colored yet...but there's The Trio's Quik joining in the fun!!!
