Ennis presents Frank Castle at different times of his life so, in this volume you have a selection of the seven ages of man, Punisher-style – Kapow, Blammo and Boom!!! PUNISHERMAX #13". Comic Book Roundup. Archived from the original on 2017-08-12 . Retrieved 2017-07-08. Frank Castle, the Punisher, is justice incarnate. He’s every revenge fantasy wrapped into one unstoppable man. He is what we’ve all dreamed of being, in varying degrees, at various points in our lives.

Volume three manages to be laugh out loud funny while also having the darkest collection of stories yet. This feels like all of Ennis’s quirks put into one hilarious, trashy, heartfelt, violent, and heavily anti corporation assemblage. This continues Garth Ennis's famous run on The Punisher, and saying he stepped his game up in this one is an understatement. I enjoyed the three story arcs in the first collection but this volume seems like it could've even been written by a different person. Frank Castle's personality and character shine brighter darker, I felt much more connected to him, the action is even crazier, and all of the stories are even more compelling. While at times the first book and it's character's and events felt a little cheeky, especially with some of the supporting characters, everything here seems way more genuine and confident and didn't feel like it was playing for jokes. Sims, Chris (2011-03-23). "Frank Castle Goes To Jail in 'Punisher Max' #12 [Exclusive Preview]". ComicsAlliance . Retrieved 2021-05-19.Ennis' landmark work to date is the 66-issue epic Preacher, which he co-created with artist Steve Dillon. Running from 1995 to 2000, it was a tale of a preacher with supernatural powers, searching (literally) for God who has abandoned his creation. The rest are some very, very short stories. They are pretty solemn and emotional snippets that remind us of the horrible tragedy that made Frank the Punisher to begin with. I liked these as well, because they made me feel more connected to him. The tragedy is an essential part of this whole thing. It’s what justifies him. When you see him gutting badguys alive, sometimes you have to remind yourself that this guy is the way he is because his entire family was snatched from him in a horrible killing. His revenge can never be satisfied. The first arc is the build up to create the "Kingpin". In this Max universe, Kingpin is thought of as just a myth. So "mega figure" to control all the crime organizations in NYC. No one is really that person. Fisk starts off as a bodyguard and slowly decides to climb his way up the ladder to create the ultimate Kingpin we all know and hate. This is just the first arc as he becomes the lord of crime, Punisher tries to stop this accession. Sadly there's others in his way and by the time he tries to get to Kingpin it is too late. The crime lord has risen. De los tres tomos que he leído de esta colección, este es sin duda mi favorito. Y el tomo dos con la historia de los esclavistas me gustó mucho, pero en este tomo, de los tres arcos que tiene, los tres me gustaron bastante y los últimos dos se me hicieron simplemente brillantes.

What won’t be missed though is that shitty ‘The End’ one shot that’s obviously non canon. Why would I care about something that didn’t actually happen. I’ve never touched a single ‘Star Wars: Legends’ novel for a reason. One point is redacted just for that waste of time. How times have changed -- finally under Marvel's Max Comics division the character is now fully, appropriately and explicitly presented in all his crazed-but-calm vigilante-justice glory. Violence, language and other NC-17 content that would / could barely be implied in a mainstream comic circa '93 is presented in an up close and personal, blood and guts style in this outstanding edition.December 2008 Comic Book Sales Figures". comichron.com.

There's one of a writer, she's trying to create a story but pushing towards actual events and having people kill and murder. It's stupid with a dumb ending. There's also a couple stories that are standard bad guy being bad, robs and kills people, fakes he's a good guy, but Punisher knows all. Snooooooze. Been there. The Punisher is a gun-based hero. He shoots people. Lots and lots of people, with lots and lots of guns. It's just what he does, and he makes it look cool. Kevin Smith said of the trailer for the new Punisher Netflix series, "what a commercial for the NRA that is... how have I lived this long without having a gun?" If that is the character you are visually depicting, you need to draw the guns with some accuracy. A pump shotgun has two tubes: a barrel on top, where the projectiles come out, and a magazine on the bottom, where new shells are loaded. In one panel, a blast is depicted as emanating from the magazine. In another, a pistol is disassembled in a manner that no modern pistol comes apart. Just laziness on the part of the artists - do your homework before you take on a project.
