Decimation: Sentinel Squad O*N*E
(Graphic Novel with art by Aaron Lopresti and Norm Rapmund)
Although published as the fourth book of the Decimation story arc, the majority of the story here takes place before
M-Day, in which the mutant population is decimated. The book tells the story of the development of the Sentinel Squad
programme; the creation of a military police force which uses gigantic Sentinel robots for transport and is overseen
by the Office of National Emergency. There's a fairly standard 'group of individualists forged into a team' type story
going on here, which is why I've not rated the book higher. There's nothing wrong with the story; it's just been done
before. The new Sentinels are pretty cool though (particularly the Brawler unit) and I loved the fact that they are
trained by War Machine.
