Here is to a great year for Frank Castle.
I am enjoying the current book and looking forward to a battle between Punisher and Daredevil and the Hand vs the Fist.

Oh shit, this looks good.
To this day, The Punisher remains one of the most interesting and most subversive thus one of my favorite comic book "superheroes" (very loosely defined). This very 70s character that's also like a perpetual 1938-1940ish character.
https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/...-punisher/fourThe idea of The Punisher is something I find fascinating. To see things so clearly and defined. To think that the solution world’s ills can be solved so simply, and in that way only, and to give up your whole life to do it. A real life Frank Castle like Bernherd Goetz would be, and was the worst thing in the world. But he makes a brilliant comic book character.

Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
I wonder will the character be retired for a year or more after this maxi series concludes.
I just hope that the eventual revisiting of the character doesn't dwell on "he's just an unstable vigilante he's got to go..." narratives. That's a tired angle at this point.
Anyone read the new Punisher issue, that fight with Frank and Ares was great in concluding. and there was a little retcon that the Hand ninjas were present hiding in the trees during the fateful Castle picnic but were called off to do anything to the family, of course the Castles still ran into the mobsters that ended up killing the kids and Maria. that twist with Maria inner monologue, and well you have a small group of heroes recruited to deal with Frank consisting with Captain American, Wolverine, Black Widow, Moon Knight, Daredevil and Doctor Strange, issue ends. looks like the final quarter of this series will be the Marvel heroes dealing with Frank as Leader of the Hand.

So it's time for another heroes team-up to stop Frank Castle and he "loses" while simultaneously making them all look like fools by comparison arc. I don't mind this convention, in fact I love to see it, but this is starting to feel like it happens every other run. I also don't know why Moon Knight would care. I'm no Moon Knight Expert, but from the material I've read, he generally doesn't care that Punisher is out there killing criminals. He had beef with Frank over Frank killing his brother, but that fire seems to have faded significantly when Jake and Frank were down in Mexico (and IIRC his brother came back later anyway). I just don't see Moon Knight caring enough taking action. I'd say the same thing about Wolverine, but Wolverine is a moral cluter**** anyway. Morally, Wolverine is always wherever the writers need him to be.

This is Aaron at his best, I feel like.
I still do not like what he is doing at all but it *is* excellently done.
(Seriously, though, has he *ever* written anything for marvel that's not solely dependent on massive retcons?)
I'm tempted to give this a look once it's finished. Most of the regular 616 Castle I tend to skip. I think Ennis spoiled me with his MAX run - that's definitive Punisher for me, with Aaron's own MAX continuation serving as an optional coda.
