~Happy New Year with The Punisher!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

(So, who's drunk?)

-You like The Punisher?  Let me tell you; if you're ever having a conversation with someone who doesn't "get" The Punisher- point them to 1993's #75 by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning, and Doug Braithwaite. It hits every note perfectly- every aspect of what makes Frank Castle is on display here.

I'll set up the scene: Frank just blew up a crack-warehouse.  He's caught red-handed by the new Anti-Vigilante Police StrikeForce and he's their number-one most wanted.  But the main bad-guy is getting away...so everyone chases everyone, until they all catch up with each other:

(Embiggen all pages for awesomeness...)

-I imagine those two sentences just play on repeat in The Punisher's head 24/7!

"Because I have to.  Because I'm alone.  Because of the innocents."  Oh, snap!  -That is seriously Punisher's "Superman in eight words". 
That's just so... perfect.
This sequence tells you everything you need to know about this man and how he operates. -While having the details of his origin only mildly alluded to, in the smaller moments, makes it so much more powerful for those who already know it... 

It's just good writing.

~Cheers!
