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.

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