Frank Castle: Punisher Appreciation 2018

[cc008]

I'll just leave this here...

May the best(?) man win!



Written by Fred Van Lente and drawn by Pere Perez

The Bank is a shadowy character who’s existed in the Marvel Universe for decades, but we’ve never heard of him before because he is very much off the grid—he’s as his name implies a money man, who handles offshore accounts for a variety of amoral-to-immoral characters and organizations.

He also happens to be one of Wade Wilson’s best friends, having known Deadpool before his Weapon X days, and so when Punisher decides to bring The Bank down, he’s got to go through Deadpool to do that, and you know what? Frank doesn’t really have a problem with that, since he doesn’t like Wade all that much anyway.

There’s a bit more to it than that, but that would get into spoiler territory, so I will leave it there for now…

Frank Castle has an unstoppable will — a powerful drive to punish those who do wrong, rooted in the tragic killing of his family. Wade Wilson has an unstoppable mouth — an unthinking knack for annoying everyone around him, rooted in thinking he’s funny. Both men, however, are among the deadliest on the planet. When they find themselves in disagreement over the criminal known as The Bank, they’re in for one of the most brutal fights of their lives! Can Frank kill Wade over and over without ever dying once himself? Or will Wade bug him until he welcomes death?

The failed Holy Water plan was alright, Dr.Strange with machine gun wanting gimmick, but the key memorable scene was Frank's "ABRACABRA" panel - even though Ralph Bakshi did it better back in 1977 with the Wizards film.

[Winterboy]

I might be in the minority but for me Leandro Fernandez (Kitchen Irish) is my 2nd favourite Punisher artist, Goran Parlov (Barracuda) has the top spot.

You're not alone, my friend.

Parlov and Fernandez are my two favorite Punisher artists.

[Hypestyle]

I'd love for Christopher Priest to write the Punisher for a length of time. He's already written Deadpool; he'd also be a good pick for the next team-up between the two of them.

[darewithpeace]

he is so iconic

How was the recent mini series with Dr Strange? Worth going back and picking up?
