Shit that was awesome!
Ennis war comics = kick to the balls.
This book was amazing. This is alone proves that Ennis understands Frank moreso than any other writer who's written Punisher before, IMO.
Ennis needs to do more oneshot Punisher stories. His done-in-one's are fucking incredible.
It really was great. I'm not a huge Punisher fan, but just every once in a while he can rock, and Ennis's one-shots showcase everything right about moving the character to the MAX line. The hardcover collecting The Tyger and the other one-shots stands as pretty much the last word on the character.
I think my favorite's Punisher: The End, though. The purity of Ennis's vision of the character really shines through and it's about as perfect and nihilistic an ending as one could ask for with the character. I like how Ennis took a fairly one-note knock-off of the 70s "Death Wish" fad and distilled it down into something so pure it's become greater than its source.
Yeah, The End is just perfect, through and through. After that I loved The Cell, and then Tyger. But they're all fantastic.Originally Posted by Dave_F
More war stories too.
I don't really like Ennis' punisher because it mainly has "I'm Frank Caste watch me kill a shit load of guys" type of story structure . This was different. This meant something.
Really? I thought it was damn good, but of almost all Ennis's MAX Punishers, and definitely the one-shots, I thought it was the weakest one. Now The Cell... THAT was perfect to me.
Damn, all this talk about MAX Punisher is making me want to dig out the issues when I get home.
Possibly. But after Born, thats going to be hard to do I'm thinking. Though it being Ennis, I'm sure he'd manage.
