Re: Punisher MAX Series Discussion *Spoilers*

I remember hearing about Barracuda before. Not sure where, but I remember someone talking or mentioning his name.

And I coulda swore there was at least 1 HC. Odd. :?

Barracuda is awesome!!!! I wanna say I've seen him before in the series but with dreadlocks and as a minor character.......but I might be wrong.




Not harcover. But they are in TPB. There are 5 volumes available now.

There two hardcovers collecting the first 4 volumes. I have them.

And you are thinking of the black irish dude from Kitchen Irish.

Best line in the issue.

"I'll just have to kick the **** out of him in hell"

And I'm getting that trade just for The End issue. That was one of the most hardcore stories out there.

I bought the first trade of this yesterday. I'm officially hooked.

I've got a birthday in a few weeks and I can tell you right now that a huge chunk of my spending money is going towards catching up on this book.

It's pure awesome-ness.

Awesome. I got in late too - I got the 1st TPB a long time ago because I heard it was good, and it was, but it took me a long time to get 2-4. I'm hooked too. One of my top 3 favorites right now.

Vic let me go off topic for a second and recommend another for you to get into late - Seven Soldiers of Victory. Friggin' brilliant. The 3rd of 4 TPBs just came out, so there's not a lot to catch up on.

Back on topic - I agree, I've never heard a bad word about this book. Everyone that reads it seems to love it and in a big way.
 
Re: Punisher MAX Series Discussion *Spoilers*

I can't wait to catch up. I've gotta get Born, too. It looks pretty good.

When I first saw the Punisher movie (before ever having read a Punisher comic) I thought it was pretty good, but had no interest in the comics. After reading this, I hate the movie. I wish they would've done it like this and gotten Ennis to write the script.

Ennis wrote the video game, which was absolute genius in game form.

The movie's characters were based off Ennis' first Punisher arc "Welcome Back Frank".

Both were pure hotness in its most primal form.


If Brubaker is a Comic God.....Ennis is your Comic Moses.


BTW---did anyone read Ennis's Ghost Rider? I hadn't heard any opinions on it so I don't know if I'm missing anything.

That has it's own thread. Should be in the Marvel Comics forum if I moved it, which I should've.
 
Re: Punisher MAX Series Discussion *Spoilers*

TGO sent me the 4th trade a few months back, because he was going to get the HC.

I liked it. It was over-the-top, but that made it great.

Someday I shall read the rest.

Re: Punisher MAX Series Discussion *Spoilers*

And building off one of the best arcs thus far. Can't wait.
 
Re: Punisher MAX Series Discussion *Spoilers*

..........wow.......and i thought that 100 bullets and DMZ were hard.....but marvel really let them get away with this, marvel has earned back a little bit of respect.

what really makes this GREAT is the layout and coloring, the dark shades and tones mixed in with with thought "squares". there arn't too many huge page splashes and when there are, there worth it. all-in-all there are a good mix. And you don't have the punisher talking too much, and the few words he does say are what i call power words. Where one word takes the place of seven. Also, what this comic does that others doesn't is that it shows that hes also just human, like the rest of us.

one of the better lines were.

"theres a reason they put the scope on top" *bang*

"after im done.....you wanna get in the sack?"........"why not" (i think thats the line)

and i have to give it to the artist, there aren't too many out there that can make you FEEL the emotion, but this guy finds a way to, and it works. you feel the blood, the calmness, the anger, the coldness, and you WANT to join the crusade.

Yeah...that has to be my favorite line outta the series. But the line "Don't come back..." at the end of the Slavers arc---when you see what he does in context to that line. Shivers dude....shivers.

call me diamond hearted....i had a smile on my face when that panel came up, it was....how do i say this so i don't come off as a jerk....there are very few things that put me on auto hulk-out crazy mode....and that story dealt with an issue that does just that.

So awesome. What is it about the anti-hero doing good that brings a smile to our faces?
