picosecond posted:There's a great Punisher story that involves him going to France and sneaking onboard a private space station, because they were gonna use it for hoarding drugs somewhere outside the authorities' reach. You never see Punisher in space, so I'm surprised that didn't get more notice. Plus it shows him actually shoot up heroin to maintain his cover as a drug user, which I don't think ever happened anywhere else.  One of the best Punisher covers period, only hampered by the fact that bad guys aren't getting broiled alive in shuttle exhaust.

Donde Esta posted:I've never so much as given Punisher a passing thought before this thread, but on your good word I checked out Ennis' Max run and now he's pretty much my favorite character. I can't believe I put it off for so long, but wow, amazing stuff. Anyone know what kind of research Ennis does for the technical aspects of his books? I figure some of the Irish stuff is from growing up around it, but the detail he'd go into for some of the military plotlines seemed more than just a passing exposure.

Xenomrph posted:Yeah, I'd be hesitant to call Frank's actions "terrorism", since everyone knows that as long as you're being a decent human being and not breaking the law and being a gangster or something, you are totally safe from Frank's violent attention. Like, Frank is explicitly killing the "bad guys", so in theory that should make everyone else feel more safe, which is kind of the opposite of terrorism. redbackground fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Mar 8, 2011 |

Xenomrph posted:Like when he's first starting out it would be pretty reasonable to be afraid of him going berserk and shooting up a children's hospital or something, but in the MAX universe he's apparently been doing his one-man war on crime for like 30 years and he's still consistently killing the bad guys while leaving civilians and law enforcement alone. Without any knowledge of what's actually going on in his psyche, I don't think I'd be that concerned. "Reports are coming in that a large yacht has been blown up off the coast, and everyone on board, including the ship's crew and catering staff, has been subsequently ripped apart and eaten by sharks. But don't worry, we've been promised that none of the victims were pure of heart and deserved everything they got. Good enough for us! Now onto the weather..." redbackground fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Mar 8, 2011 |

WickedIcon posted:Is MAX heavily continuity-driven or can it be read out of order? I'm fixing to get a fairly large sum of money so I'm thinking of getting Born, Welcome Back Frank (even though it's not MAX), Up is Down and Black is White, and The Slavers. I would really recommend reading it in order. The payoffs hit that much harder if you have the history to go with them (at least read In the Beginning first--it sets up a lot more than it might initially seem). Kitchen Irish is probably the weakest volume (but still worth reading!), and pretty standalone, so you could always go right to Mother Russia next (Mother Russia is easily my favorite--I get a rise just thinking about it) if you wanted. Born can be read anytime, but preferably before the last volume. redbackground fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Jul 26, 2011 |

Did we know that Ennis is coming back to Punisher Max? Cuz uh, he is! "Ennis is currently wrapping his series The Boys at Dynamite, and is returning to Marvel's The Punisher with a new MAX series illustrated by Goran Parlov that has yet to be publicly scheduled." So says Newsarama!

Waterhaul posted:I dunno how you can call the last two issues dull, I've found them among the strongest issues of the series. Sure I would've liked more issues as things are rapidly leading to an eventual end but the sudden jump forward and the effect of age on all the characters has been way more interesting than just more murder. And this issue, especially the last page as Fury realizes the kind of monsters that have been created was as much as a gut to the punch as Ennis can do.

TheJoker138 posted:Let's say, hypothetically, the heroes all banded together and caught Frank. They throw him in jail. Probably maximum security, but he's not super powered, so I doubt he ends up in somewhere like the raft. He's been to jail before. We know how this ends. Either he escapes as soon as he can and gets right back to it, or he just starts killing all of the criminals you've put him into a confined space with because he doesn't give a gently caress.
