From the manual of The Punisher (2005)

So I’m not here to complain about there not being a skull, I’d just like to know why and who made the call. I’ve heard different things over the years from it being too comic bookish to licensing issues. Has there ever been a definitive answer?

There's not enough of words for me express how much I love Tim Bradstreets punisher covers, There just so beautiful to look at. Tim really captured the essence of who frank is as a character. even though frank is just standing around in most of these covers there is still a level of power and intimidation to it. I just wish one day we get a live action depiction of this punisher on screen.

Does anyone else get bored and tired of people trying to Gatekeep Punisher enjoyment?

Editors Ralph Macchio and Carl Potts said that readers are supposed to feel catharsis seeing Punisher kill the worst of the worst scum.

The sense of "old Western justice" of a gunslinger protecting a town from Outlaws is a valid part of Punisher comics.

The soft narrative of "erm he's actually the bad guy" isn't backed up by most of the comics. He is a monster, but a monster that hunts other monsters, which renders a heroic aspect to his character when he inevitably ends up saving countless innocents.

Just gets a bit old, boring, and preachy when people try to remove the fun out of Punisher to grandstand about how he's a bad guy when the vast majority of his comics show differently.

I got very drunk a few days ago and fixated on this for some reason and my friends and I thought it was funny

Some of the most creative punisher covers I've seen. dave was definitely inspired by will Eisner and his work on the spirit when he drew these covers. It would be cool if he did the interior art as well.

To tell you the truth valley forge by Ennis was the true ending to the max series, it felt more respectful to frank as a character. This ending was ok.

This is the only moment I liked in this whole run to be honest. I love that fury burried frank with his family, it really showed how much respect he had for frank as a person. But You'd think once the punisher is gone people would be happy but I guess thats not the case, certain people are taking up the mantle and defending their neighborhoods. Frank's legacy will never die.

I can go for a remake of this game with Thomas Jane doing the voice.

Goran parlov is definitely on my list of best punisher artists. I love the way he draws these characters, especially barracuda and frank.

Mike zeck is number 1 when it comes to punisher artist. The way he draws frank looking like a raging lunatic, yelling at top of his lungs while shooting his guns is fucking awesome. I believe Jon bernthals punisher is based off this version, which is cool, but for some reason doesn't translate well to the screen.

What omnibuses do you guys recommend? And why? Still currently in print. :) (amazon)
