Parental Advisory
Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire are the perfect team for the covers of this run. Great creative team and how they set up this cover with a perfect aligned sharks formed the eyes and nose and the rocks bellow the ocean formed the teeth of the skull. Read Full Review
The latest issue of The Punisher is one of the most effective placeholder/fill-in issues that I've read in a long time. There's not a wasted panel or word contained in all of this issues 28 pages. While it doesn't provide any new information, we all know that Condor is crazy AF and pretty much a grown up militia style ,bad boy, Lord of the Flies crew, this issue does give us an in-depth look at Frank Castle and how strong he is, mentally and physically. It also shows how hard he will fight to stay alive and make the bad guys suffer. There are moments in his fights with various Condor members that he uses excessive force, even when it isn't necessary to get away from his captors. This issue is a case study in Frank Castle and, it's everything you could ever want from a look inside his head, making it a good read from cover to cover. Read Full Review
Olaf clutches the Idiot Ball tightly and enables the Punisher to clobber his boat full of mercs. Artist Matt Horak does an Avatar Press-level imitation of Steve Dillon and writer Becky Cloonan apes the stupidity of a direct-to-video 80s action flick in a thoroughly regrettable way. While this issue is an improvement over the last one, I would prefer simply not having a Punisher title to having this sad travesty. It's relentlessly disappointing and I think this whole series is destined for the ashcan as soon as better creators get ahold of the character.
This series is a lost cause. The dialogue is cringy to read and this story with Face is just a tacked on mess. The art is just about in par with everything else in the book. Just leave it on the shelf and hope for a reboot sooner rather than later.
