Punisher : Journal de guerre

Punisher: Miniseries

by Torunn Grønbekk (Contributor), Lan Medina (Drawings), Rafael Pimentel (Drawings)

Depuis qu'ils ont ressuscité sa femme Maria, le Punisher fait alliance avec les terribles ninjas de la Main. Difficile de dire combien de temps tiendra cette union contre-nature, mais en attendant, Frank Castle met toutes les ressources à sa disposition au service de sa guerre, que ce soit en réglant de vieux comptes ou en se protégeant des nombreux assassins qui cherchent à le tuer. En parallèle à la saga principale, racontée par Jason Aaron dans les volumes 100% MARVEL : PUNISHER publiés cette année, Torunn Grønbekk (Thor) explore l'actuel statu quo de l'anti-héros le plus violent (et l'un des plus populaires) de l'univers Marvel. Trois récits complets qui nous montrent différents aspects de Castle.

Reviews

[Matthew Ward · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one featured a couple decent stories about the Punisher now living as the leader of The Hand and one great story about the origin of Punisher’s war journal! This was all typical Punisher violence and action, as expected.

3,5*

Three talkative short stories- not short of violence though- but quite good actually even if if they don’t redefine the character known as Frank Castle.
If the first story can be read independantly it’s best to have read Jason Aaron’s recent run to contextualize the 2 remaining.

[Alex · Rating 3 out of 5]

Grønbekk is clearly a understudy for Aaron, and helped by writing these side bar issues for the main run, of varying qualities. It's a lot of the same for Frank, killing monsters and the hateful, but I do think she was getting it with the "Home Base" issue. Frank truely is a man in purgatory being back in the civilized world, he is so distant and changed by war that he can't adjust to the bland suburbanites around him. Why did that man's poor dog have to die?

[Emmett Spain · Rating 3 out of 5]

A trio of bloody, brutal tales. Suitably nihilistic and gratuitous, given the title character.

[Erik · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one the better Punisher books before he gets “canceled”

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 3 out of 5]

A series of one shots that add some background to the main Punisher series running concurrently. Not great stories, but pretty good. They didn't seem as frivolous as many one shots of this type, as they did seem to make a point of some kind in each story.

[Daniel Butcher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Looks at a complicated life. And it helps explain the tragedy.
