Summary: This book will make you forget Kevin Smith's Daredevil story
Comment: Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon restore the Punisher to the one man war on crime charcater he is, in this paperback that reprints the 12 issue run that Ennis and Dillon wrote for the Marvel Knights books. This is not kiddie literature, this is a very adult style of writing that gives new life to a character many Marvel fans thought was over and done with. It's for fans of the Godfather films and would make an interesting movie, if dones on a big budget. But please remember, this is for adults only, not kids.

Summary: No holds barred fun
Comment: The creative team behind the return of the Punisher, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, were also responsible for the entire 66-issue run of the best comic of recent years, Preacher. This graphic novel, which collects all twelve of the Punisher series from 2000 - 2001, almost matches the standard set with Preacher. Never a dull moment, Ennis seems to really enjoy writing the Punisher (how many comic book writers give you that impression?). Dillon's artwork is crisp, clear and entirely suited to the character. The gruesome but highly entertaining treatment of the Punisher's main foe in the story, crime boss Ma Gnucci, is one of the best examples of comic writing I've read. Don't expect subtelty - it's fun, there's humour that no previous Punisher comic even approached and it paid off, with the comic never out of the monthly top ten best sellers. Ennis and Dillon returned to produce an on-going Punisher series in June 2001, with Ennis scheduled to write the first six editions. Whoever follows him has a high standard to maintain.

Summary: Welcome Back, Frank!
Comment: Welcome Back, Frank is a bone crunching, blood letting, teeth shattering thrill ride that hits you between the eyes with all the intensity of a sledgehammer.
This series marks Frank Castle's return to the 'basics' of being the Punisher. For those fans lucky enough to miss the years that came before this one, let's just say that Frank had been lost in a whirlpool of hero hype and bad characterization during the 90's comic book boom.
But all that ended here with this series thanks to the Garth Ennis and Steve Dillion. Not only did they breathe fresh life into the Punisher, they introduced such delightful foils for him as Joan, Spacker Dave, Mr. Bumpo, and of course the Russian. The fight between Frank and the Russian alone is worth the cost of the book. That fight is just one example of how Ennis and Dillion remind us that Frank is a man, without powers. He can be hurt, and often is. The only thing that keeps him going is the rage and pain that gnaw his every nerve, every second of every day.
His is the series that the 2004 Punisher movie is based on. Do yourself a favor and add this book to your collection right away!
