FACE OFF!
• Frank finally made it home, but a monster followed him out of the northern woods.
• Can the Punisher keep the city safe from a man who began as a psychopath, THEN overdosed on mind-wrecking, strength-enhancing drugs?
• How do you punish that which should already be dead?
Parental Advisory
The dialogue was good and the bit of humor was on point, without turning this issue into a comedy. I have to give credit to Cloonan for making Face a more interesting character than it was for 12 issues and my only regret is that she could make all these changes way back and make the first two arcs way more interesting than it was in the first place. On the other hand, I'm glad she could catch up with good quality issues and now we will wrap up this story with a bang, next issue. Read Full Review
Its a shame that Cloonan is hitting marks towards the end of her run. I think the Condor story really hurt the series with how long it dragged. Overall, since getting back to New York, Punisher has been a good read. This was a little over the top for what I like in a punisher book, but it was fun and I have no real complaints. The art was decent and served its purpose. Hopefully, Cloonan can end her run nicely next issue before we get into the legacy start for Punisher.
Just to silly and over the top, even for punisher standards
has its good moments, but the art I do not think helps to make the reading moderately entertaining
Just For fans
Face, from the interminable Condor arc, returns to menace Frank and New York as a generic monster-baddie. I can't tell whether this is a generally-inept comic ennobled by a nicely-paced plot or a nearly-average comic hobbled by a host of minor flaws (lame humor, weak art, poor characterization, etc). Either way, it's not quite entertaining and not quite memorable.
