And many more...!
An epic superhero / space opera saga
"Wonderful."
"A Wild Ride!"
"I could not put this book down."
THE DARK CRUSADE: "Sentinels: The
Shiva Advent has some of my favorite things: Big robots and guys with
big weapons. Those are what I want to read about. If more books had them,
society would right itself."
- SENTINELS: THE ART OF CHRIS KOHLER -
Over 130 pages of artwork, along with commentary by Chris and Van, from all nine Sentinels novels!
This oversized trade-paperback contains more than 130 pieces of the incredible, brush-inked and textured artwork created by series artist Chris Kohler -- every full-page illustration from all nine novels, plus behind-the-scenes images, works-in-progress, and much more.
And for every illustration, Chris discusses its inspirations and how he went about creating it, while Van discusses how he selected that scene to be illustrated, and how it fits into the overall Sentinels storyline.
This book is a treasure trove for fans of the series, who would like to appreciate Chris's artwork in a larger format and with his own commentary for every piece.
"This is an excellent throwback to 80's Marvel comics. If you lament that they don't make them like they used to, give Van's world of heroes and villains a try." "There's more than enough adventure and superheroics
to keep even the casual superhero fan interested, and true fanboys (and
girls) will likely foam with glee." |
"You must read these
books. They are like nothing in heroic fiction ever done before."
"Nobody- not even Abnett and Lanning- is doing cosmic
superheroes as well as Van Plexico is doing them. Period."
