#Marvel sentinel schematics series#
A second series returned in November 2005, this time as a five-issue limited series. The series ran for 12 issues before being cancelled. Art duties were handled by Udon Studios Eric Vedder, Joe Vriens and Scott Hepburn worked on the series. Īs with other Tsunami titles, the series was structured in six-issue plot arcs, which would then be issued in digest-sized low-price trade paperbacks soon after single issue publication. Editor Marc Sumerak worked on the pitch with McKeever. However, he did suggest that a "third-string mutant" might be an interesting guest character in future arcs. McKeever himself was born in Wisconsin, and would later create another Marvel character from the state, the superhero Gravity, feeling it was important to have characters spread out geographically. McKeever felt the series was a teen drama with fantasy elements, and felt the story wasn't an X-Men spin-off "in any real sense", and purposefully sited Sentinel in remote Wisconsin to avoid crossing over. Sean McKeever was considered a rising star in the industry at the time by Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada.

Despite featuring a different style to most of the company's other work at that point and some uncharacteristic story ideas, Sentinel and its fellow Tsunami titles were still part of the Marvel Universe. The imprint was the idea of Marvel editor C. Sentinel was originally launched in 2003 as one of the seven titles that launched Marvel Comics' Tsunami imprint of manga-influenced series.

The story concerns a young boy called Juston Seyfert who finds and befriends a mutant-hunting Sentinel robot. It was written by Sean McKeever and illustrated by UDON. Sentinel is a comic book series published by Marvel Comics as part of the Tsunami imprint. The cover of Sentinel #1, art by Eric Vedder
