Here are a few questions I wanted to ask Paul Jenkins about the stories and about our favorite character, Bob Reynolds. (The questions were going to be answered on Twitter, but it's more appropriate here.)

What motivates you to continue writing Sentry comics?
-
What do you want Bob's contribution to media in general (comics, movies, series, etc.) to be?
-
What do you think is the most unique aspect of the character?
-
If you had to define Bob, Sentry, and Void, each with a single word, what words would you choose?
-
What impact do you want Bob to have on people?
-
What are Sentry comic book stories about?
-
Which element of the narrative, if removed, would have the greatest negative impact on the character and his stories?
-
What do you personally like most about your creation?
-
For you, what is a good Bob story?
-
What is different about writing sentry stories compared to other stories?
11.Why exactly, from the list of mental disorders, were the ones chosen that Bob has?
-
Certainly, the central theme of the Sentry comics is mental health issues. I'd like to ask how to write about such a sensitive topic without it becoming problematic, offensive, or anything of the sort.
-
What topics would you find interesting to explore with a character like Bob?
-
A more specific question: Do you agree that all stories (or the overwhelming majority) should have psychology and mental health issues as their main and most important element? And why?
