5.0 out of 5 stars What a revelation!, April 4, 2000

This review is from: Wolverine/Punisher: Revelation (Paperback)

I do not know much about the Marvel Universe, but this book will appeal to all. It is interesting to see the Punisher as a honest-to goodness hero for once. The heroine, Revelation, is one of the most original characters produced for a limited series. Revelation is a mutant who, after being released from a cyrogenic chamber deep under New York, begins to affect them with a virus which emits from her. Wolverine and the Punisher must try to find a way to stop Revelation before she reaches the surface. It is interesting to see how Wolverine and the Punisher get along as a team. The strange things about the Punisher are the weapons that he uses. I just don't get how angels can make guns in Heaven. When you read this book, you may notice some references to the Bible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Characters brought back to life!!, July 16, 2001

This review is from: Wolverine/Punisher: Revelation (Paperback)

New York is dying. There is an underground threat that kills dozens of citizens by the minute. After the resurrection of Frank Castle (the Punisher), he swore to protect someone. Both he and the feral bone-claw Wolverine lose somebody special due to this same underground threat.

So, they team up. And together, they will find the cause of this mystery to put an end to it. But the task at hand appears to be much harder than anticipated.

The story is okay and is mostly about morals and innocence. The writing is very good, especially the monologues. And the colouring by Angelo Tsang and Pat Lee is excellent. They look like still images of some Manga animated fest, but drawn by Marvel. This is one of the few books that really made the images animate in my mind. Logan is drawn kinda weird though, but that didn't spoil the beauty of the colouring.

The characters make this a winner. All characters are given alot of depth. Especially Frank Castle, who seemed very flat and linear before. I especially love the first chapter. Wolverine's narration is great in that one. Highly recommended!
