NO! maybe there was a still a bit of Sentry when the Void said "Kill Me"...but when the VOID attacked Thor right after that, (before Thor struck him with lightning)...Sentry totally lost control and that was TOTALLY VOID who attacked Thor!
Bob Reynolds the Sentry/Void is a single entity, a confused mind struggling against itself. He/they didn't wanna die bad enough inside the sun, this is portrayed in the dialogue as the sentry persona arguing with the void persona. By the end of siege he/they were no longer lingering and wanted to die bad enough to stay dead - it's not the damage that put him down for good, it's the fact he chose not to reform - this, in turn, is shown through dialogue and art as both the Sentry and Void forms saying "kill me" one immediatelly after the other. If a man commits suicide by cop, it's still suicide. Bob commited suicide by Thor, so the plot was wrapped up as a battle and a win for Thor instead of bob going back to the sun to trying and kill himself again. If he wanted to reform he would have.
This wasn't the first time the line between their seemingly separate personalities disappeared either: the void, contrary to what one might expect, wanted to kill bullseye upon hearing his wife was dead. Bob still responds as a single being when the stimulus is sufficient and he is not conflicted about it.
Bob Reynolds finally wanted to die bad enough to stay dead and this is, in fact, solid character development: his wife was dead, his last anchoring to this world was gone, he no longer knew what he was, he couldn't run from his character flaws or his past anymore. He had enough.

Well, you sound better than Bendis, but still the character remains weak because of its Void part. If Void is just part of Sentry, then its just an stupid child who wants to kill and think there are no consequences, if Sentry is part of the Void, then the Void's acts made pretty much no sense.
I agree the character is weak, too many people smoking crack had their turns writing him. His original mini was good though.
I think they're both part of bob, and bob is a total **** up.
Bob is the Void. So Void can die.
Void's weakness is Bob. And that was exploited when they made Void retreat in becoming Bob.
Sentry came back fully reformed as Sentry. Void didn't not come back as Void but returned as Bob(showing weakness.) Void's fault for retreating as weak Bob. Bob's fault............nope. Might as well blame Void for reverting to Bob. Not Bob............LOL.
But if there one in the same his fault still.

LOL, its pretty much plain and clear that Sentry/Void is>Thor or the writers wouldnt have put or pitted so many heros against Sentry.
I can see where some people can pull some things out of that story to make it look like Thor can be a challenge for Sentry but I'm not seeing enough pulling for me to even think that Thor could pull one win from him. I actually see this as a stomp.
