Rob reviews Sentinel Issue #13: The Pack... Roaring into its thirteenth issue, Alan Holloway and Ed Doyle 's tribute to Starblazer continues to amaze with its depth of storytelling. This time out  Holloway is joined by artist Mac Art for 54 pages of werewolf action. Best described as Dog Soldiers meets  Predator, The Pack introduces us to a squad of six battle-hardened roughnecks. What makes this squad unique is their ability to tap into their inner beast - and operate as a 'pack'. When a routine mission goes south, and one of their remains within his werewolf form - the hunters become the hunted. But is there a wider conspiracy at work? Coming shortly after Sentinel Issue #12: Valhallasaur, you'd think that too much of a good thing would sour the experience. However, with The Pact Holloway continues his writing resurgence that made Valhallasaur a great read. Across this issue, we get a simple military story that not only evokes the same feel...

Or use their powers for fame and glory? While it's a premise that's been seen before, TEN adds quite a spin to proceedings - these super-powered individuals have been chosen by us to represent the best humanity. Originally just normal humans, these ten individuals were then granted great power by an alien race. Now, 5 years later and Christopher Rhodes shows how much everything has been changed by the "Ten". Opening this new series is Brian Johnson, a black Navy veteran who now goes under the moniker, ' Peacekeeper '. As one of the 'ten', Johnson falls under the jurisdiction of the United States government. However, while Johnson - as Peacekeeper - looks after American affairs abroad, he's banned from using his power on home soil. This all changes when a...
