This was awesome, chilling off knives in the fridge with leftovers is fantastic. The action scenes in this book are top notch. The art in general is quite good. Aaron seems to be the writer of the month to dog on, but i always enjoy his work personally. With punisher being no exception. The reasons for aligning frank with the hand, and changing the logo, makes sense here. Great first issue.

I thoroughly enjoyed this comic. Great setup. Great story. Great Punisher action.

A great issue to kick off this run. There was some controversy surrounding this due to the change of Punisher's logo, but the violence fans are used is still very much present. We get backstory as to Frank's new situation, along with a tease of a villain for the series. Overall, great stuff.

The Punisher isn't usually my jam; he has to be done VERY well to grab my interest.
My interest is thoroughly grabbed here.
The gorgeous art is a big part of the attraction, of course.
So too are the intriguing twists thrown on the Punisher's status quo. The more you know about the parties involved, the more this makes a dreadful kind of sense.
What might impress me most is the stately, perfectly-tuned pace. Each twist is worked for maximum impact; hinted and teased for just long enough before being fully revealed.
(To users calling the 1st scene pointless: With respect, you need to read more thoughtfully. The 1st scene is incredibly important. It narrows the Punishers' origin from the "gangsters killed my family" we all know to a more focused "I watched my wife die in front of me." The issue's final twist pays off that refinement powerfully -- and also probably establishes a core theme for Frank's future characterization.)

Jason Aaron comes up with a good way to make Frank Castle interesting again. I genuinely want to see where this goes.

This is a solid start. It didn't really have the grit that I expect from a Punisher title, but I'm hoping that changes. The writing is on point, if a bit more detached than I'm used to with Punisher. I just hope the art ups its gore and grit factor a bit. Oh, and politics are a dumb reason to dislike this book.

I went in reading this expecting to absolutely hate it. I can't even lie, I really enjoyed it. The art is amazing and the real star imo. The Punisher is as brutal as ever so I am glad that worry has been put to rest. I really hope he eventually goes back to the iconic skull vest, would be nice if this ends up being a big F U to all the tools using his symbol trying to make it their own. I will hold my judgement for some of decisions that seem weird until they play out. Frank is always best as a loner and I have a feeling he has a plan to try to destroy all of the hand, we know it wont happen or stay because comics. I also don't know how to feel about the reveal at the ending.

The art was phenomenal. Frank with the Hand seems like a logical step for him given their mission though I feel like another writer would say Frank wouldn't partner with them because it's his mission alone and they would be his targets. It gets hard when Frank's ideals are framed as solely black and white and Aaron is taking the liberty here at least to expand what we might think about Frank. Not sure how I feel about the end as we've seen before Frank's reaction to a twist like that and he wasn't happy. Overall, good issue. I haven't read a ton of Aaron outside of Thor and that was great so I hope this lasts for a while.

It was pretty good but, didn't give me enough to take it to the next level. Great art and decent concept will keep me going for now.

I don't know this character, this is not the Punisher. However, I understand the reason why the writer is doing this, politics of course.

Frank and the Hand feels weirdly shoe-horned in my opinion. That said, bringing his wife back is an interesting twist, and while I doubt they'll go this direction, I would like to see her be disgusted in the path he chose. People like the Punisher because he's a good-guy killer, but a killer nonetheless. I understand the pressure Marvel is under regarding the Punisher branding, here's hoping they don't buckle.

I don't know what to think of this, parts I liked, others I hated. But it feels like something is wrong.

Donny Cates can rest easy, we finally have something worse than his Hulk series. This is not only bad, this is dumb.
The art team is strong, and i encourage people to check out their work... on other books. Aaron's Punisher #1 was unreadable.The premise is uninteresting. The opening rehash of the Frank's origin was unnecessary. The main character is unrecognizable.
You've been warned.
Meanwhile, here's a list of other things you could do with 5.00
