Product Description: Prepare to be punished! For the first time ever, Marvel's one-man-army takes center stage in a no-holds-barred "Mature Readers" series! Writer Garth Ennis and artist Lewis LaRosa take Punisher to the MAX - literally - as the hunter becomes the hunted! Frank Castle's old associate Micro is back, and he's after Frank. But first, he's got an offer for Frank that he'd better not refuse. Get ready for blazing bullets, bloodbaths, and bold beginnings! This title collects "Punisher MAX" numbered 1-6.
Glorious and Violent! This volume is geniusly written. Very hard to put down from start to finish. Ennis gives the greatest interpretation of the Punisher I've ever seen!
Possibly the best of Punisher MAX The Punisher MAX is a great comic. I couldn't bring myself to say 'better' than the Punisher Marvel Knights title, just different. The strength of the Marvel Knights title is its humor, while the strength of the MAX series is its uncompromising gore and grit. The writing is excellent throughout most of the story arcs, and the art is generally great as well. The exception to this being the first book, "In the Beginning" , where everyone is drawn so wrinkly that they look like humans crossed with pug dogs. But beginning here, with Kitchen Irish, the title has a run of great writing and excellent art to back it up. It's highly recommended for Punisher fans, or just those in need of a dark, violent, and still laugh-out-loud funny comic.
another great Punisher book This is another outstanding Punisher comic book. The animation and story line are great.
Punisher as he should be I am a big fan of Garth Ennis and The Punisher.
I read Garth's first Punisher work in 2000 and loved every issue.
This new series w/ MAX really gets deeper with his personality and doesn't just show him as some killing machine(which is what we want). Having him not kill that much this time around made the story much more meaningful.I love my action just like the next guy,but I do want to get more development out of Frank.
I hope Vol.2 Irish Kitchen is as well done.
BRILLIANT PUNISHER STORY Meet the Punisher, or rather better realise you really don't wanna meet him. In fact, you could very sanely not want to have anything to do with him. This story is not about the MARVEL Universe Punisher, this story is about the around-the-block flesh and bones Frank Castle, aka_The Punisher. Afar is the world where some masked bloke in tights would jump into the panel and start throwing fancy punches and kicks. The guns in this story are really intended to kill and, mind you, bullets don't just kill, they kill by ripping flesh and bones and guts. given this context, the story is fast paced, and tightly driven. It works mostly as a presentation card, and it works brilliantly. Characterisation is superb, nicely intertwined with the plot. I don't think I could say more. The genre? Lessee, we have maffia killers, underground CIA killers, vigilante killer, shootings, flesh bitings, one castration, definitely best placed in the Violence-Action shelf.
So go and read it. Oh, kids stay away from it. Just to say it twice: Kids_stay_away_from_it.
