Frank Castle: Punisher Appreciation 2020

[ed2962]

DUH. You know it would be different if it were a black man doing it.

It depends on how it's done. We've had that in movies going back to the "blaxploitation" flicks, then in the 80's-90's black stars became the cops themselves.

A black Punisher would ahve every black male in Marvel get shot by any scared cop even if they saw his face and knew his name.

And that would include the likes of Falcon and even Miles.

Both are them are great, but that second one is epic!

It's a shame that the original punisher titles don't get enough recognition

Agreed. It's unfathomable that someone as talented as Mark "TEX" Texeira is considered underrated:

I absolutely love TEX'S art. It's kinetic. I actually got to meet him and he was so cool about everything.

And he has been MIA for 5 years.

Lets see him now.

I always knew punisher but quite some time but never read a comic of him. But i guess my first real introduction as a kid to him was him with a crossover with spider-man in the comics. Followed by me finding out that was a punisher ps2 game and then me buying and playing it.

Not anymore, though. Al Ewing turned him into a pacifist during his Contest Of Champions series. He even changed his skull for a heart symbol. LOL

So I'm interested in finally starting to read Punisher more seriously, get a lot of the stories and whatnot. I know most swear by Ennis but I wanted to start before that.

But I'm also curious about something. From what I have read, Ennis always portrayed Frank as more ruthless or villainous than a lot of other writers. He was killing worse people but it's the difference between punishing evil and doing good and Ennis took the punish evil part to the extreme. Is that accurate?

Are there any other writers who presented Frank as more noble? What is the personality each writer gives to Frank?

If you're looking for a nobler version of Frank, then look no further than...

Punisher Kill Krew



During the Frost Giant invasion of Midgard,
a family is wiped out and it's up to Frank to avenge them
(even if it means travelling through the universe to Asgard to "catch" the perp).

so where is Frank supposed to show up next?

He's supposed have a mini were he fights Barracuda in the 616, but it hasn't dropped yet.
