Awakening — Sean McKeever

Just a typical story of an ordinary teen…and his giant, former mutant-hunting robot! High school sophomore Juston Seyfert has discovered the battle-ravaged remains of a Sentinel in his family’s junkyard — and used his prodigious technical skills to put the mechanical monolith back together! After exploiting his refurbished weapon of mutant destruction to make himself popular — and get revenge on his bullies — you’d think that Juston would be on top of the world. But instead, he finds himself torn up inside by the guilt brought on by his selfish acts. And as his fame starts to spread, he attracts the attention of the authorities! Will Juston and his Sentinel be seen as heroes…or deadly threats? And will that answer change when the Sentinel reverts to its original anti-mutant programming?COLLECTING: Sentinel (2003) 1-12
