WORLD OF PUNISHMENT! Frank Castle's enemies would like you to believe he's finally lost his humanity - and maybe he has. No one's going to tell him otherwise. Well, except for Everett K. Ross…but what does the Punisher have to do with the world to come?
Every single issue of Marvel Knights: The Punisher has been pretty close to flawless. It's heartbreaking to see what they've done to Frank, but the more you dive into this new world, the more you appreciate the brilliant crafting of this story. Ross, as the subplot and potential bumbling hero, is a nice juxtaposition to the gritty world that normally dominates this series. Read Full Review
Marvel Knights: The Punisher #3 is an emotional rollercoaster with some heavy and graphic content. The dark and deep storytelling, along with the graphic art won't be for everyone. Fortunately, for those who enjoy the more adult centered themes this issue will be great for them. This story is really heating up and if you don't want to miss what's next make sure this is on your Pull List. Read Full Review
Marvel Knights: The Punisher #3 is a solid crime thriller with gorgeous art that moves the plot forward while bringing Frank Castle back as an actual functioning character, one even more scarred than before (both inside and out). The story is uncompromising in its cruelty, brutality and corruption, but the flawed and likable Everett Ross adds a sense of humanity and hope. Read Full Review
Dream team on Punisher , simple as that.
Lets all ignore Sad Comics, as usual.
This story telling continues to be very solid. But I have to be honest that I do expect better from Dan Panosian's art, but man I do love the colouring in this series. The vibe is insanely well done and it makes the art all come together.
You can't be mad buying this comic book, but I'm afraid it won't become a classic.
Plot
This takes place five years before the events of WORLD TO COME.
Everett K. Ross manages to infiltrate Molerro's organization and, with the help of Mexican government agent Maria, they capture Punisher and remove the effects of the Zombie drug.
Frank reacts and begins to remember all the horrific crimes he committed. He shoots himself in the head, but survives and, now recovered, is ready to take revenge on those who forced him to become the monstrous being known as EL ZOMBIE.
This installment slows the pace of the action to establish the narrative groundwork for what's to come.
Art
It's raw, full of detail, textures, and a roughness in the lines that makes the sequences dizzying and more
Editorial: You know, Jimmy (Palmiotti), you're having so much fun that I thought I'd suggest more characters and elements from our agenda, maybe a fat maid, to reinforce our bossy character who turned him into a pet play.
Palmiotti: I thought about Castle kissing the heels of her clogs, maybe smelling her socks as a fetish, what do you think?
Editorial: Perfect! The Punisher could also be cruel to heterosexual couples, you know? Something that Phillip Kennedy Johnson did in the first issues of Hulk.
Palmiotti: I loved it! And what did you think of the beat-up old Volkswagen Beetle representing our regression on one of the pages?
Editorial: I couldn't be happier.
Palmiotti: We think alik more
