Anyone praising a book like this either doesn't know the Punisher or is doing it so he'll one day be noticed by an editor and Marvel will call him to secure his place in the fold. Such cases have become common, as seen with David Pepose and others who are asked to write stories for these characters, where they put their own ideas and nothing more. But with Palmiotti, things become even more regret more

sad comics - Oct 9, 2025

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.

sad comics - Oct 9, 2025

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.

Transgenderism isn't a disease or a mental deficiency though. And while I don't agree that the LBGTQ+ community is ramping up violence, it is a logical response to the constant mistreatment and violence brought upon them. The USA does NOT only recognize two genders. Read a biology text book. Intersex people have existed forever. They are recognized. There are more than 2 genders. There pretty much always has been.
