These are so brief, they're useless unless you know nothing about the characters. Giving four stars: they're solid for real noobs. I'm knocking off a star because they're too short to give a genuine sense of character.
Cloonan's last issue has her go out with a bang: Punisher, against an EMC fueled Face. (EMC is a drug that gives people power; Face was in a coma after overdosing on EMC at the beginning of last issue.) It's gross, and hyper violent, and everything I could have hoped from Cloonan's last issue. H...
I was just getting used to the one-shots, too, which gave me the immediate gratification of having a story started and finished within twenty pages. The benefit of longer stories is the bigger payoff, and Cloonan has proven herself adapt at both the one-shot and the longer stories. The Face com...
When people are being pushed in front of trains, The Punisher tracks the culprit - and his shrine - to where the homeless live right near the train tracks. It's a homeless vet who shows Frank where the murderer hides out - and it's the vet who helps The Punisher stop the rash of murders. Becky ...
In fact, just a favorite author. I picked up other works by her - in mystery bags of comics, I believe - and loved them. I picked up this because Punisher, knowing that Cloonan could do The Punisher justice. In fact, she out wrote my expectations, making this more violent than I had thought she...
And I'm loving it. It seems like the first story arc is complete, which makes sense: twelve issues would make two graphic novels. Everything has been wrapped up nicely, although almost everything ended up differently than I expected, starting early on. This started out brutal, and while it migh...
This series shows off how one-track minded Frank Castle is now that he's The Punisher. Held prisoner on a boat, he's pitted against all the men in the criminal organization he's been tracking. Look, it's not good for the poor boat. He's determined to see the man responsible for all this ...
The Punisher is taken by the group that he's been hunting. It's fun, it's gory, it's as brutal and violent as a Punisher title should be. That being said, I take issue with the statement that Castle takes joy in what he's doing; he doesn't. Satisfaction, yet. His brutal efficiency, his need f...
