Look at those four happy robot kids on Justin Mason’s cover to Sentinels #5. Drumfire and Sawtooth each throwing a hand in the air, waving it like they just don’t care. Voivod looking a bit apprehensive but excited. Lockstep fully embracing the moment and striking a surfer pose. All while they ride a traditional Sentinel that appears to be rotting like a zombie. Are they blasting off into a bright future, or riding blissfully unaware toward certain doom?
Inside, the team of cyborg mutant hunters is falling apart at the seems. Lockstep has agreed to become even more machine than man. Voivod blew himself up to support Sawtooth’s mission of finding the source of their Sentinel tech. And Drumfire, well, she’s discovered the source of her Onslaught hallucinations was none other than Graymalkin prisoner No. 1, Charles Xavier. Even Larry Trask can’t catch a break, as he’s tormented by Podcaster Ellis’ sexual partner-turned-psychic lapdog Scurvy.
How’re these Duke boys and girls gonna get outta this-here scrap?
