This is a return to form for The Punisher. The gritty art by Dan Panosian really brings out the tone and aesthetic throughout the book, and I think aging up Frank was a brilliant move since we don’t really get to see him older very often. That’s kind of where it ends for me, though this is just another textbook Punisher story with unoriginal ideas. Here comes the Punisher, ready to murder some Hispanic narco drug lords it’s a story we’ve seen many times before, but done better by Jason Aaron in his MAX series and by Garth Ennis. The new suit looks cool with the inverted skull, but there’s nothing particularly interesting going on in the story department. Still, that could change it’s only the first issue.
