Okay we know we just reviewed a Punisher issue but we just just just had to do another one because this run is so excellent. I mean, just look at that cover. It tells you so much from its almost retro style artwork of the early days when comics come in all genre including horror anthologies, western and love to what is now predominantly superheroics ... sigh ...
This issue has its own special shout out moments in the form of two artists involved to tell a tale. Primary artist is doing the actual present-day (so to speak) tale or storytelling while the flashback is painted style by another artist and it works well
Basically after the brou-ha-ha with the Oriental armor clad goons, the Punisher has no choice but to go back to his current assistant of info and whatever (a kid or teenage by the looks of it) and digs for info since his monster buddies are in deep shit and unable to be with him anymore and what a load of history was unnerved
So this is a flashback to the origins of the villains and we get it in two different era. We see how the scientist himself who is involved got his start and why he hates monsters so. And then we see the military arm and how they got their start and what happens in Japan and all those monsters (so cool right?)
Naturally the conclusion gives the Punisher even more fuel to fire up his anger and go gunning for some bad guys ... unfortunately we are left hanging as we are then not shown this and have to wait for the next issue ... argh!
