    Not to say that Age of Sentry is a total waste of time. Both stories do muster a bit of the campy magic in which only Silver Age stories can. Plus, the artwork from Dragotta and Rosanas is spot-on to the era, making for an attractive and mildly entertaining package. But, to quote last week's official out of context slogan, "You can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig." And for the most part, the Void-less Sentry is a pig, plain and simple.

    While it could veer instantly into retread in future issues, there's nothing especially wrong with the opening couple of stories.

    Overall, this book is a severe disappointment--especially when you consider the quality of the work that was coming out of Marvel Comics in 1963. I recommend passing up The Age of the Sentry in favor of hitting the back-issue bins or eBay in search of Alan Moore's 1963 miniseries from Image Comics that is a true homage to the Marvel Comics of that year.
