: Speaking of Rachel, I know that’s something you said before issue #1 was out, that part of your goal for this book was to give her her own place, her own characterization? Now a few issues in, how is that going? How is she evolving for you? We get to see some characters from her past-or is it her future? When it comes to Rachel talking in tenses is really hard, but I think you know what I mean.įor instance, there’s a scene with her and Franklin Richards that was really interesting and really a lot of fun to right that I’m excited to have in the book. This is just an arc that’s going to really shape her. It’s really especially a Rachel story though. For Gambit, who is sort of responsible for this new Sentinel-not on purpose, just through something that had unintended consequences-this is going to be a hard arc for him. Marc Guggenheim: This arc, in several ways, is about pushing the X-Men as far as they can go pushing them towards their breaking points. How do these various experiences inform the team’s reaction to this newest iteration? What kind of ripples does it cause? : Although each of these X-Men have encountered Sentinels, they’ve all had different experiences with different versions of them. : I suppose that’s not such a bad thing if you are going to write the X-Men. I’ve followed the X-Men close enough that I’ve encountered all the Sentinels in sort of real time as they came into the books. Marc Guggenheim: Unfortunately, there’s not really much new for me to read. : In doing the research for the book, for this arc, did you encounter any Sentinels that surprised you or you were like, “Oh that’s an interesting take I didn’t know.”? It’s my first connection to them, it’s such the iconic version. Marc Guggenheim: Oh, it is definitely the giant purple robots for me. : Speaking of your history, is there a particular Sentinel incarnation that you really love. Then my editor, Dan Ketchum we needed a sort of to be in control of it and it was that suggested the Sentinels. I had this idea I wanted to do about a nanite threat, nanotechnology. It’s funny, the thing is this story didn’t start as a Sentinel arc. It’s always been interesting to see how the Sentinels change with the times, the eras. But I’ve followed it through all its iterations, whether Nimrod, Bastion, the Wild Sentinels or Trask’s Bio-Sentinels. I think, as with a lot of fans, my first encounter with the Sentinels is the kind of classic giant purple robot version. Marc Guggenheim: That’s a good question, a really great place to start. : I’m curious, as we start, what your history with the Sentinels is and how that informed your use of this iteration in this arc? Guggenheim took a few minutes away from his evil scientist’s lab to fill us in on what the Merry Mutants prepare to face head-on. A Sentinel made of nanites, capable of being whatever size and/or shape it needs to be to get the job of mutant extermination done. Whenever Sentinels show up in the lives of the X-Men, things get bad in a hurry.Ĭonsider that as X-MEN: GOLD writer Marc Guggenheim and artist RB Silva reveal the latest version of the Sentinel this June 21 with issue #6.
