The future has arrived, but world peace certainly hasn't!

Looks like it's up to Punisher 2099 to clean up the block - the only question is, who's behind the mask?

    There is good thing with this issue and some less good ... Maybe a little rushed.
    Festival the good things.
    Firstly the fact that Jack Gallows was in the book but isn’t the punisher. I didn’t mind because I didn’t read the previous punisher 2099, and I when I read his backstory I find it to easy to have one copied on Frank Castle’s one.
    So I sens early in the book that he wasn’t the hero, but I keep my mind ready for a surprise. After all we could have follow the one responsible for Gallows’ new identity, at the start impossible to tell.
    I really licked the time the book spend on giving a taste of this future. The use of social media as a way of class the people (possible look what happen on China for exemple) is a new good addition too this imperfect futur. But the police been dépendant of Multinational isn’t new (cyberpunk or the previous 2099) nor the fact that the policemen can be corrupt by them, or the use of drugs to put convict to work.
    i like that hector search for answers. But they made it easy on him. The previous alchemax was very nasty. They would never let someone that close to a reality they don’t want to be reveled. I also surprise that Gallows didn’t take him out. In fact I think a little background from Ravage could have be good. Because there Hector just change suddenly as the punisher. With no real motivation other than sentencing himself. And why the punisher, he didn’t see any feed about him. this Gallows was never the punisher. But I also like the ending and will be interested to read more about him.
    The art isn’t my kind of art. But that do a wonderful work on this story. Maybe the layout could have been better and more vivid. Some panel really look like freeze. The battle seem like pics you see the next morning on a newspaper not like you live them.
    The only thing bothering me it’s they don’t speak anymore of the man they found hanging with a hammer in the 2099 alpha. I was counting of a story about that.

    cover 1.5/2 really nice but give nothing else than the punisher.
    Arts 2/3
    Story 2/3
    Feeling 2/2
