After the main part of the trade there's a haunting short story where Frank has to reluctantly put down an old war buddy who killed his own family, and ends with a wordless epilogue to top it all off. This volume is a perfect blockbuster follow-up to the iconic 'Welcome Back Frank' storyline and is Ennis and team at their best with the mythos of Marvel's most brutal character.
You won't regret the buy...
This vol 2 continues on from Welcome Back Frank and is part of the goofier series. I refer to Dillon's drawings which capture Ennis' intended take of the Punisher in this series. It's quite funny, and I initially thought that having the Russian coming back as a transgender cyborg was just ridiculous, but it works here. Rationalisation of over the top situations are very funny. The Lt Soap character is a little weak here, whining as usual but he doesn't take centre stage.
What carries this book and really sets the tone for the whole series going forward was the first arc involving a power hungry former general who runs an island of mercs and criminals. It's a relatively simple concept, giving Frank plenty of people to mow his way through in entertaining ways. What puts it over the top is the return of The Russian as a big breasted cyborg. Yes, it plays out as ridiculous as it sounds and it's glorious. That type of silliness just made me really enjoy the arc. How it ends is just perfect to.
The other two stories are a bit more what you'd expect from The Punisher. One is a tale of a former soldier who lost it, weight of his life and NYC as a whole crushing him mentally. It's a decent enough tale that made Frank out to be a little more than just the guy who kills a lot of people. The second story I liked quite a bit as it lacked any dialogue whatsoever. It was just a night in the life of Frank in it's purest sense. Even touching on how his actions can effect those beyond criminals.
All in all this books plain stupid fun. Is it a must read or even technically good? No, not really, but I don't think all comics need to be. It was an entertaining if light read.
I paid $28, including air freight, for my copy. The cover art is different but the classic US version cover is contained in the reprints inside.
Now, on to the story. Garth Ennis cleverly creates a Super Villain for the Punisher to battle. The Russian, a buffoonish beast, is a modern day Frankenstein, pumped up with Gorilla lungs, 2 hearts, a hardened skeleton and a reattached head. The Russian is a villain tough enough to fight Frank one on one.
Steve Dillon's art is great, but leans towards the Punisher as super-hero rather than as super-vigilante. There's plenty of killing but Dillon depicts Frank in the usual superhero tights. I prefer the combat solidier look myself.
This is a very enterating read and you'll be happy to outsmart the North American scarcity of this title by hopping the Pond and pocketing your Punisher at Amazon UK.
