NEW AVENGERS VOLUME 2: SENTRY HC

Written by Brian Michael Bendis, art by Steve McNiven.

The Avengers try to help the most powerful super-hero in the world figure out who he is and where he came from. But will this knowledge destroy the man they are trying to help? Plus: For an entire year, all of comicdom has been asking: Who is the mystery Avenger: Well, Ronin is here and just in time as one of the powerful villains from the Breakout has already set up show and needs to be taken down before any more damage can be done. Who is Ronin? Here's a hint: He's not Daredevil.

128 pages, $19.99, in stores on May 3, 2006.
