American Comics Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of the Sentinels in X-Men #14/15
*Marvel: The implacable robotic Sentinels, nemeses of the X-Men, have loomed large in the history of Marvel’s Mutant Heroes, making multiple appearances, each more fearsome than the last. The creations of a man determined to expunge the mutant genome from humanity, they emphasise the X-Men’s ‘otherness’, which is why they resonate so strongly with the readership. Here, we are pleased to present the first two appearances of the Sentinels in X-Men #14 and #15; the latter also includes the origin of the Beast.
