Punisher continues to hit all the high marks of fun in a comic for me. People get shot in the face, there's Fugazi/Black Flag references everywhere, the new microchip dude's name is Henry (a further 80s hardcore nod), insane karate dudes steal eyes, Punisher gets shot and beat to shit, lot's of action each issue, and there was a giant vat full of body parts which exploded. I'm down. Looks like good times for Punisher fans in the Marvel U.There are some parallels to Fear Agent here and there though that may expose some weakness in Remender's creative writing abilities. Frank and Heath Huston are kinda similar in that they're both unshaven loners. They are both generally out for themselves, leaving others crippled in their wake as they attempt to always uphold their mission. Basically they seem to fuck things up more than fix them and people die because of their single minded focus. But, Frank doesn't have a jetpack. Yet.
I'm still totally into both titles though. I care not!
