Evil Tony Review on Punisher #1

Evil Tony Gives Punisher #1 by Rick Remender a THUMBS UP!

Well, I had finished reading Punisher #1 Variant Cover Ed. and I have to say I was impressed. The artwork looked more realistic than "cartoony" as compared to other Punisher works.

It also got you into the mind of Frank Castle as the author did a play by play whilst being pursued by Sentry

I actually missed an opportunity to pay Rick Remender a visit (I have to force myself to keep from typing "remember"in leiu of his last name) at "A Comic Shop". He had been doing book signings for his new comic.

Since his Variant Ed. SOLD OUT. I was lucky enough to get a 2nd Printing of this comic.

I have to admire Frank Castle "The Punisher", he's able to evade even a rather powerful superhero (Sentry). Seems like Sentry was taking it easy on him. I guess one would have to, because your a superhero trying to apprehend someone with limited abilites. I suppose years of experience in the military is no match for Sentry.

When Castle tried to take the kill shot (the same way Norman Osborn took HIS killshot during the Secret Invasion), 4 miles away....my jaw about dropped when Sentry just grabbed the assassin's bullet with his thumb and forefinger and plucked it out of the air. Amazing. I almost thought it was a DC Comic first, thought I was reading Superman!

The graininess of the sketches of the characters really made everyone look rather ominious which is what I like about Remender's style. The whole story made you feel like you were experiencing with with Frank, almost in a first person perspective.

Anyhow, I think I might be stuck on this series. I'm anxious to find out how this story ends....the saga continues.....
