Sentry #8

The final chapter of this 2006 Marvel series closes with a striking John Romita Jr. and Mark Morales cover that captures the Sentry locked in a desperate struggle — his gold-and-blue costumed figure engulfed by a massive, shadowy black tendril-laden form that looms over him with menacing, otherworldly energy. The tension between light and darkness is rendered with real visceral power, hinting at the duality at the heart of Paul Jenkins' story. A satisfying capstone to the run, arriving just as Marvel's Civil War era was getting underway.
