Jan 21, 2009There is certainly a great deal of potential to be mined here. If nothing else, I'm certain Swierczynski will be able to break the all-too-familiar Punisher mold. However, most of what this issue offers is merely potential. Frank doesn't do a lot of talking, nor much killing. It's a good primer, but future issues are the real key. And unfortunately, Swierczynski's past work forces me to rein in my expectations. His characterization in Immortal Iron Fist is excellent, but other books like Cable are a bit more bland in that regard. I hope the writer will be able to hearken back to the Ennis issues and use this sticky situation to delve deep into Frank's psyche and show us something we haven't seen before. No matter how many Punisher books come and go, I know there is still more to be explored. Read Full Review

Um... Okay, this new author is just completely insane. First of all, he literally stole an idea from Punisher 44 about a broken kid who Punisher might see a few years later.

Like, a dude kidnapped the Punisher and injected him with some crap that kills him in 6 hours, but to get an antidote the Punisher needs to kill... a really bad-bad dude? I mean, what was the point of that? Frank would do this anyways, if given the information about the guy. Such a concept wasted... Wouldn't it be better to ask him for an innocent death or something. But the conclusion of the issue pretty much shows what would happen in that case... Yeah, it's just really weird. In the previous arc Frank had second more
