Parental Advisory
I can't judge this as a Punisher fan, but as a fan of the show who wants to read Punisher comics, this was an excellent place for me to start getting into the character's comics. It doesn't hurt that this would be a really interesting story regardless of the lead character, but that it stars Frank Castle is the cherry on top of the sundae. The next issue can't come soon enough. Read Full Review
Issue #8 was a bit more on the side of a popcorn issue, but its still a hell of a ride! Read Full Review
A very enjoyable read that sets up some really interesting situations that Im looking forward to seeing how are resolved over the next few issues. Read Full Review
This run of Punisher continues to be a one-of-a-kind read, crafting a narrative that's genuinely brutal while still maintaining a weird sense of humanity and brevity. Read Full Review
Some of the writing is interesting but the art and lack of any real Punisher action make this issue dead on arrival for me. Read Full Review
This is still great.
I love you, Frank.
Best Issue about Frank Escaping from prison since Devil in Cell Block D!
This issue is setting up Franks hodgepodge group of prisoners and building to unleash his hell on Bagalia. This series is setting up for Frank to bring down Zemo and crew. If it continues with high profile kills this could end up being the best punisher series ever and deservedly so it’s been past high time for Frank Castle to punish the villains week in and week out.
Rosenberg on the punisher is the perfect fit. The art is really cool too. I really like how its a really long story and its essentially continuing the war machine arc and turning into a slow burn tale of zemo vs frank
I'm catching up on my Matt Rosenberg "Punisher" for an upcoming review on AiPT! and I just had to talk about this one in particular.
When I read this title, I definitely do not expect a twee, cutesy prison escape story like something out of "4 Kids Walk Into A Bank." Might work on a different title, but it doesn't work for Punisher and it's a waste of time that's self-satisfied in how quirky its plan is.
I appreciate Rosenberg's indie, non-traditional sensibilities--I do. That being said, this goofy prison plan is tedious.
