Good question and I had a couple about that Thing series, like, doesn't the writer know that Juggernaut is reformed and Death Adder is mute? Nearly as crazy as having Sue fly a plane!

The Thing book felt slightly out of continuity. In all honesty I don't know much about the Juggernaut these days - the X-Books are a bit too convoluted for me. I just felt the Thing series got the character "right" - where the FF book is a drastically different version of the team that I have been reading since the 70s.

This is the same guy who is going to write a Hulk miniseries, and nothing gets me out of my mind that, what I saw in the first look, looks like a cell phone animation.

And the premise of Hulk seems to be the same as Fantastic Four's: sending characters through different time periods. Writers too sensitive to step outside their comfort zones.

Hey man... are you okay? This comment is weirdly, obsessively angry, and Incredible Hulk has nothing to do with any of the political stuff you mentioned above. It seems like you might need some help. Is there something you'd like to talk about here?

If you can, or at least have the ability to convincingly explain why, in your world, whenever someone comes up with an argument that contradicts what you agree with, they either have a problem or are angry.

If you don't respond, I'll block you, simple as that. This is a space for reviews, and I don't like anything you write, especially from someone who's clearly never read anything about the Hulk.

If it's you, your stance is terrible, bothering with arguments against what you believe is right. If I were you, I wouldn't bother with that; after all, I'd believe I was doing the right thing. Bye, Phillip Kennedy Johnson.

What irritates me most about woke culture and this whole thing is how they brainwash people into thinking we're people with problems. Honestly, I'm going to block this profile. Isn't that what they do to us, preventing us from speaking? Well then. Note that in my review, I only mentioned a few points that the person behind the profile felt offended.

Well... what you wrote isn't a comic review. I was confused what my military service, "progressives," "feminazis," "minorities," "Palestinians," had to do with this comic. And I don't understand at all where "Woke Hulk" came from. It's a comic in which a monster fights other monsters. You seem angry about things that have nothing to do with this book, and that made me wonder if you actually wanted to talk about something different.

PKJ, you have no capacity to respect the character you write. Three years have passed and you haven't made this a phenomenon, even with some people wagging their tails at you...

Anyone with the slightest understanding of the Hulk and who has respect would write something better than you and make up for the three years thrown in the trash since your inception.

In your woke world, anything that goes against your beliefs isn't a review, it's a personal attack. Shame on you, you yourself don't like what you write. After Joe Bennett was unfairly removed, no one has been able to replicate what he did so well on Immortal!

If you want to promote monsters, use another series, not the Hulk. Thirty issues and you'll stay in the bubble. Do you really think you're the ones who'll reign supreme in this progressive game? You won't! Woke left scars, woke screwed the industry, woke doesn't make money and only serves the 3% who don't even buy what you do. Half the people who praise you download it from the internet.

We'll never be fooled by you. Ever since Cates, we've known what your intention was: to ridicule the Hulk. Have you given Banner a bath? Cut his hair? Turned him into someone other than a landless refugee? Stop it! If I don't like a character, I clearly won't write them, even if they paid me.

If I debate politics, PKJ, things will get even more awkward for you. You'll have to convince me if the wokeness you preach in this Landless Run actually serves any useful purpose in that comic book industry.

this is pretty cringe bro fr if you hate this guy so much why are you so obsessed with him? some kind of weird sex fetish? follow people you actually like lol

That's it, create more profiles, I'll block them all.

You need to show the world that you are normal people. The writer himself is not normal. I've never seen so much self-pity as I saw in this Phillip Kennedy Johnson.

How do you block users on this site? That would be useful.

I don't know if the blocking worked, but I did my part. And if they block me, it's a favor they're doing. If I have two followers who genuinely want to read comics, and a thousand blocked, that's already a victory for me. By the way, the one above is Phillip Kennedy Johnson. He's humiliating himself to attract people to participate in his live streams. Poor communist.

Sorry, I still don't see the woke part, and I'm usually pretty good at spotting this crap. I think we should rate a comic for what it is, not for what the author has written in the past or will (possibly) write in the future. Making the protagonist suffer isn't necessarily an act of deconstruction, but simply a trope you see regularly in action comics or movies. It usually makes overcoming the obstacles and the triumph at the end worthwhile. Anyway, you could be right in the end, of course.

I do my part, and since I read several indie comics, I know this doesn't even come close to the violence of a Mad Cave Pop Kill or a one-shot written by the director of the movie Red Heat (the one with Arnold and James Belushi). Castle acting in Fisk's service, nor a Fisk outside of his true nature, is unacceptable. It was already expected that the Punisher would kill selected criminals (in the Daredevil series, Marvel already hinted at this).

The skull no longer means anything; nowadays, criminals must be punished; a reformed criminal is needed to use a vigilante for that. It makes no sense, and it's all driven by an agenda. We know that these writers, if required, will bring us the characters in their essence. The end result is Castle regaining his memory, and Fisk probably coming clean, or having a duel with the Punisher, where he gives Castle a hard time, since we're now seeing a Fisk with absurd strength.

I really hope you're not disappointed by this any more than I.

Well, thanks. To be honest, at this point I'm used to being disappointed by Marvel eventually. So I'm enjoying it while I can.

Dude, where the fuck did you get Charlie Kirk and feminism from this book? I don’t even like the book myself, but this entire review is just you inserting your own political bias into it which is pretty ironic, considering that’s exactly what you’re accusing them of doing. It’s almost like you didn’t even fucking read the book at all, you just flipped through the pages and got triggered.

Another communist blocked, and no matter how many more appear, I'll keep blocking. Yes, I read that shit; it's pamphlet-like and screams feminism from every corner. Be smart readers, don't buy that shit.

I hated this comic, but seriously, calm down and take a breath. At first I honestly thought you were a parody of one of those people radicalized by social media who see everything through a political lens. Go outside, talk to some normal people.

Another blocked person,

I was gonna pass on this, but now I gotta read it to see how feminism takes over a Punisher comic, find out exactly what shade Commie Red looks like. I have a strong feeling that this book won't be for me, but with a build up like that, how can I not. check it out.

Authoritarian women who, even as villains, diminish men's voices; they always want to have a say. They turn Castle into a zombie when he should be killing in cold blood, even those women in the gang. The approach that turns him into a Frankenstein is worthy of a revisit to all the nonsense they've been doing. There, even as a monster, he was shooting, high-caliber bullets flying everywhere when he was actually delivering justice.

As long as woke prevails, we'll never again see Castle send all the bad guys to their graves like he did during the Ennis era. Marvel loves villains; it's no wonder they came up with a shitty comic dedicated to them. Panosian draws terribly here, and he hadn't done such shitty work even when he was at AWA.

Nice to see that you support you son, Mrs. Bennett (odd that you compare PKJ to Joe Bennett and not Al Ewing)

@Weird ScienceJim Bennett played a huge role in this. If it had been just Ewing, this run would have sunk into the woke and never been successful. Bennett's art had enough of an impact for people to be interested. No one has been able to draw like him these days. That's a fact, accept it.

The story as well as the art was what people were attracted to about Immortal Hulk. Sure Bennet knew how to draw horror well but without Ewing's story, there would have been no Immortal Hulk at all. It's also not a fact, it's a subjective opinion.

Without Bennett, the editorial would make the run entirely progressive. Try again, champ.

I urge you to go to therapy if you don’t already.

Believe it or not there are a lot of veterans and current service members that become disenfranchised with the current state of our military and politics leaning them more progressive. This has been going on for decades. It's not wrong to hold those beliefs bud. To insinuate that being a veteran and also being progressive is somehow wrong is very harmful and narrow minded.

You also really need to work on your grammar. This is a jumbled mess like a lot of your reviews and you lean a little too heavily on calling books, "pamphlets". Expand your vocabulary and your world views kiddo.

A woke person wanting to give me grammar lessons? I'd better block you here. You're irrelevant. I thought you could be less pathetic than you are, but you're just another LGBT supporter who thinks he's right.

LOL the guy served his country just to position himself as an inclusive minority. Hahaha, good luck, champ.

I was here looking for a review, but got some Nostradamus from Temu.

If you thought Aaron, as a Marvel tool, destroyed the character, it's about to get even worse. It's not for you, and it's not for me; it's for an anti-Trump generation, those modernists who want the industry to speak their language and for the world to eternally embrace social equality. Percy is bad, as is Pepose. If he gets it right, it's only a matter of time before he becomes the same old thing, eventually becoming disinterested and sidelined like so many other series.

I respect your opinion, but Marvel didn't bring back the Punisher to commit the same mistake. I will rather wait and see how they will develop this series. This will eventually retcon what Aaron did in 2022. Now, let's hope for the best.

If you're content with just the amnesiac Frank, who (SPOILERS AHEAD) starts shooting recklessly and putting the lives of innocent people at risk until an old lady shows up and becomes, according to the issue, his new sidekick since the old Microship, adding bloodthirsty scenes from Fisk and Tombstone as a pretext to be a "violent comic book," as well as bringing Frank back in his skull uniform to later activate a kind of chip in his brain, maybe you folow this to the end.

Of course, in the end, when he overcomes this corruption in his mind, he will come with everything against these villains, but Fisk has the protection of an entire editorial, so we won't see anything serious happening to him, the kind of protection that made him knock out the Hulk easily.

I hope for something good, I just hope, maybe in Knights, by Palmiotti, but it's just a small hope that brings Frank back in a dignified way in a universe other than 616, in 616 he will no longer be the same, unless he leaves Marvel or goes to an indie for example, like Titan.

I consider myself pretty anti-woke, but I can see nothing woke about this comic - at least not in this first issue. I'm not familiar with Percy, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I got to say that the final cliffhanger, I was apprehensive. I hate when they put Frank in that "condition". But I will wait to see how they will handle this before shouting out that it's crap.

If I'm jumping the gun, I wish it were possible, but not with the predictability these books have become. The fact that The Hand solution was even considered is already something that leaves me feeling completely negative. I can't see the Punisher acting at the behest of criminals, and it's pretty clear that Fisk will be protected even as he recovers from his amnesia and gradually regains his memory.

As for Percy, I haven't read anything good from him, his Red Hulk is very boring and his stories are so red that it's impossible not to connect them to the woke.

"so red that it's impossible not to connect them to the woke".???? Do you mean blue? Don't really get what your saying. This.....doesn't seem woke. Percy is pretty violent and gory in his stories and generally just a fun writer.

The wokeness is evident here by simply having the character kill selected criminals on a schedule ordered by a king of organized crime. This absurdity only aims to deconstruct the character even further than he's already been deconstructed. And the violence here doesn't work, as it's meant to please woke readers, which is why Punisher 616 is being written.

This guy literally mentioned modernity, enlightenment thinking, as a bad thing. How ridiculous that any of you are taking this guy seriously or engaging with him.

Modernity aims to distort the character. He doesn't kill criminals in the service of criminals, and even if I weren't here, the reaction this caused was negative from the moment it was announced. Your dissatisfaction with my review is just another woke reaction, which says that when there is no social equality, everything should be despised.

"Everything I don't like is woke!"

An entire biased deconstruction aims to serve woke.

Did you really call her "it". You're a huge piece of shit.

Did you even read what I wrote???? Love that you jump this. TBH I knew someone like you would. You may as well say "You called someone an asshole??? How dare you you?" Do you understand context? Do you even know what was said? You're a moron but I guess for people like you it can't go both ways right? Trans people are not some protected species immune from insult.

My girlfriend is trans and if she said something like this pos said I'd first break up then call her the same thing. Calling someone who doesn't agree with you a nazi is pretty insulting too but that's ok. Fact is arguing with a POS like you never gets anywhere so or solves anything because your immune to change....which is pretty conservative thinking now that I think about it. Anyhow I'm done. Rant away.

I'm sure your girlfriend would love to know that her basic validity and humanity is contingent on whether or not she agrees with you.

So you deliberately used "it" as an insult. With a trans girlfriend. Okay bud.

He supported Nazis. He was supported by Nazis. He carried Nazi ideals. He was a Nazi. Why don't you tell your girlfriend you called another trans person "it" because they said something you disagreed with and THEN tell them that you'd do that same to them if they had said it. See how that works out for you.

"Everyone I don't like is a Nazi"

Sad nazis make me happy.

I wish the author of this was just a woke man writing a pamphlet comic, but one who respected the death of someone who died brutally and didn't cowardly spew hate speech on social media. That's definitely not a human being.

About this book, just a flop.

So just prove the unfair cancellation of Joe Bennett who did nothing to be canceled with this gratuitous hate spewing.

I think you need to understand what hate speech is. What Gretchen said is not hate speech. What Choo Choo Charles said many times was dangerously close to hate speech which is why the people who actually use it liked him so much.

It was hate speech from the moment she wasn't content with the red plague (that pamphlet-like garbage you praised) and poured hate on a young man who was brutally murdered. She was already writing woke versions of these characters, she should have been content with that, but it didn't sell (and never will, because everything that comes from wokeness is a flop). She looked for another way to get noticed. Charlie was a conservative activist who just wanted to bring a divine word to young people.

And it's very typical of you to claim "she said something stupid at the wrong time" when she simply went one step further than you, when in fact when you called her "it", you actually realized what you had said, and now you want to play social justice warrior in front of your progressive companions just because you no longer have your pamphlet comic (cries more). I hope this is just the beginning and that more pests like her are canceled, we want comics, not red plague.

It's curious that you consider everything from wokeness to be a flop while also insisting people are woke for the sake of profit in other reviews. Also, do your research. Gretchen was a total edgelord who didn't just suddenly say something controversial, which is another reason her firing is suspect. DC had to have known. Charlie Kirk wasn't just a little guy either. He was instrumental in the hate that many people in America now face. He was instrumental in the rise of this Trumpian fascism.

If Jesus were around, he'd have found Charlie and those like him disgraceful. If the gospel were real, there's no doubt Charlie's burning in eternal hellfire right now. He was a propagandist who served the worst of humanity and his wife and friends aren't even sad that he's gone. His corpse is yet another grifting opportunity for these vultures, and I'm sure Charlie would be proud to be another tool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvgZtdmyKlI "Everyone I don't like is a Nazi" No, Nazis are Nazis. Kirk was Nazi scum, and the world is better for every dead Nazi.

Would like to point out that fthissite essentially self-reported on the Nazi front. He brought it up completely out of nowhere. No one called him a Nazi or even insinuated that. I just called him a POS for intentionally misgendering a trans woman with the term, "it". That might be your smoking gun...

Understand, every time you see high ratings for rotten material without even presenting arguments as to why this shit should be praised (even though it is shit), this is clearly a common symptom nowadays that woke people use the most. But these same wokes who praise this shit don't make it something revolutionary. Three years without anything good, from Marvel or DC. We, the minority who don't need agreement for social equality to prevail, you depend on it.

In your logic, the red plague deserves salvation, and a conservative doesn't. But you forgot one thing: THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Judgment is coming!

Sorry buddy. You missed the rapture. I'm SURE they missed you.

Anyone who's been on here a while & mainly through the years of insanity where Hex & his ilk ran rampant with the virtue signaling (woke if you want to call it that) nonsense can recall the use of the nazi word they constantly brought up.I didn't bring it up out of nowhere pal. Besides inflation, their stupidity was a main factor in the cheetos mans return. Congrats guys. #TRONWASRIGHT.

Charlie Kirk was horrible but so are Hex, psychamorean, chuckturds and sad comics. Your all just sensitive man children who have no integrity, just the illusion of it. Fuck you all. Adios.

Bro you've been here a year. It literally says Oct 1, 2024. You haven't seen me for "years". On top of that, I took time off for a long while. I hadn't posted anything for almost a year myself really until USM had come out. What are you even talking about? Virtue signaling is bad and that's why the Annoying Orange is still here but calling out Nazis is a bad thing and that's NOT why we're heading towards an authoritarian regime. Okay. You're a centrist fence sitter. How's that for integrity?

Ennis's last return was in a (very good) miniseries called Get Fury, where he worked on the pre-Punisher concept for the Marvel MAX imprint. I think this was his farewell.

Are you Joe Bennett?

I find it funny all the people who give 10's (not just for this issue). Just silly, people ranking 10's just because they can. No way is this book on par with DD: Born Again, Whatever Happened to the Man of Steel, Maus or books that really do deserve a 10. Funnier still are those that rate any score any where without comment imo.

@SadComics Your reviews make me sad. Everything you’ve rated on here you gave a 1/10 lol. Maybe you should try reading stuff you enjoy? @Amoebas Some people just rate on their subjective enjoyment of the book. Not every review is meant to be some objective assessment of the quality of the book. It’s not that serious. If everyone’s favourite comic book was Maus or Watchmen that would just be lame. Diversity in taste is a good thing.

@Amoebas People are giving this high ratings, and on other sites, it's completely forbidden to mention it as something aimed at wokeness, even though it's completely pamphlet-like. In reality, it's a woke culture that embodies the void that is culture, and it's not even a woke that can hide it. A directionless Hulk, a jumble of issues that can't escape a bubble, with one person writing days before it's announced for sale, without any ideas to exploit it. It's heading towards limbo.
