[Secondly, happy 250th ... so good to know that we made it in our so-called year 2 or series 2 of reviews to hit the big 250 ....
Alright. For those who somehow enjoyed the Punisher but never feel quite there with Frank's series and relaunches, well this one is definitely different. It ran for about three years before another relaunch but what was cool here is Rick Remender, one of the then, rather new writers at Marvel who showed us his love of the company and this franchise ... he started off with Frank in the midst of a Marvel group crossover and him having issues with folks in the Avenger, Norman Osborn and a gallery of rogues
And just in case you are wondering how he can top his own work comes this issue and the start of his year 2 on the title where he has Frank killed (really) earlier and resurrected as a Frankenstein monster!
SPOILER ALERT
So in issue 12 while not a double sized celebration, it has so much going on as we see Frank starting to learn about what has happened to him ... and as he is now part machine what he needs to do to survive his days. If that isn't bad enough, amongst the Monsters community, there is even secrets and hidden agendas as the uglies do not band together under a sort of utopia brotherhood. So we get glimpses here and there of things that are brewing
And because this is a Punisher comic, we also see the start of villainy as armor clad guys with guns and samurai style swords come a hunting into the sewers where the Punisher currently stays with his new found family
So you know it's going to be a bloodbath in the issues ahead!
I love this so much I got doubles of some issues and will get the TPB!
