I think I liked it because it was Punisher,
By JB "8man" (Cali) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Punisher Max: Girls in White Dresses (Punisher Max (Quality Paper)) (v. 11) (Paperback)
I'm a huge punisher fan. I love the character his personality and his story. I don't need to tell anyone that Garth Ennis really got it right. I had a bit of anxiety when I heard that there would be a new writer, I mean those are big shoes to fill. I've never heard of Gregg Hurwitz but he comes in highly praised. This story was just ok. The art work made it hard for me to follow the action and a lot of the characters look the same. It wasn't bad but it just seemed like something was missing. I like to read the punisher for those F#*k yeah! Moments where really bad dudes get whats comming to them in ever so creative ways. I never really came to despise the characters in this book and the art was so choppy at times that I didn't even know if I was looking at a new character or someone from a previous scene. I hope the next arc is better but if you skip this one no biggie.

i love garth's run of the punisher....but this just isnt "it". the premise is very promising but the charecters both good and bad are not intersting to say the least. it feels like a generic b-movie.

Letdown on the Punisher series,
By danny boy "dbswongv" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Punisher Max: Girls in White Dresses (Punisher Max (Quality Paper)) (v. 11) (Paperback)
This is the Punisher MAX Series. Ennis was perfect for the Punisher. Hard-edge and gritty storylines with that twist.Hurwitz's storyline has absolutely no twists. A direct ripoff from the "magnificent seven" plot about a poor terrorised mexican town hiring mercenaries to clean up their town, it was obvious, barely into the opening sequences, that the abducted young women were coopted to produce synthetic drugs and there was no cult involved. The explanation of their missing eyeballs and lungs was not done very well as the artwork was not clear. Similarly the explanation that the Punisher did not kill the girl (thus maintaining his zero innocent body count) because of a paranormal incident with the girl telling him to dig up her body to find an incompatible bullet slug was just ridiculous. Anyway, why throw in a paranormal sequence here as it doesn't gel with the rest of the storyline. The Punisher could have just worked it out logically. The Jigsaw character was just pathetic in this piece. he was a walk-on character just to give a named baddie for the Punisher to kick around. The artwork was very disappointing. I don't like this style of artwork as it smacks of the Maleev style (daredevil) which looks like badly traced drawings from photos. The style is static. For someone used to the terrific style and expectation of the Punisher MAX series, this issue was disappointing.
