Path of the Just

by James Lowder (Editor), Dennis O'Neil (Introduction), Matthew McFarland

Welcome to Empire City, metropolis of fantastic adventure and startling danger. It is a city that feels familiar, yet constantly surprises. Below the pristine towers of polished glass and steel, black-hearted conquerors, megalomaniacal science-villains, and predatory monsters lurk. And there are the heroes. Empire City is home to those masked champions brave enough to stand tall against the dark. Heroes like Sentinel, America's supersoldier; Red Phoenix, wielder of the devastating Phoenix Blade; and Slipstream, alien speedster intent on saving Earth from the fate of his doomed world.... Path of the Just presents fifteen tales of superpowered action and mystery set in the Silver Age Sentinels universe, with original stories from such masters of the fantastic as John Ostrander, Ed Greenwood, Steven Grant, Bradley J. Kayl, Steven Harper, and Robin. D. Laws. Edited by James Lowder, with an introduction by legendary comics author and editor, Denny O'Neil.
