About the author
Garth Ennis
2,643 books3,210 followersEnnis began his comic-writing career in 1989 with the series Troubled Souls. Appearing in the short-lived but critically-acclaimed British anthology Crisis and illustrated by McCrea, it told the story of a young, apolitical Protestant man caught up by fate in the violence of the Irish 'Troubles'. It spawned a sequel, For a Few Troubles More, a broad Belfast-based comedy featuring two supporting characters from Troubled Souls, Dougie and Ivor, who would later get their own American comics series, Dicks, from Caliber in 1997, and several follow-ups from Avatar.
Another series for Crisis was True Faith, a religious satire inspired by his schooldays, this time drawn by Warren Pleece. Ennis shortly after began to write for Crisis' parent publication, 2000 AD. He quickly graduated on to the title's flagship character, Judge Dredd, taking over from original creator John Wagner for a period of several years.
Ennis' first work on an American comic came in 1991 when he took over DC Comics's horror title Hellblazer, which he wrote until 1994, and for which he currently holds the title for most issues written. Steve Dillon became the regular artist during the second half of Ennis's run.
Ennis' landmark work to date is the 66-issue epic Preacher, which he co-created with artist Steve Dillon. Running from 1995 to 2000, it was a tale of a preacher with supernatural powers, searching (literally) for God who has abandoned his creation.
While Preacher was running, Ennis began a series set in the DC universe called Hitman. Despite being lower profile than Preacher, Hitman ran for 60 issues (plus specials) from 1996 to 2001, veering wildly from violent action to humour to an examination of male friendship under fire.
Other comic projects Ennis wrote during this time period include Goddess, Bloody Mary, Unknown Soldier, and Pride & Joy, all for DC/Vertigo, as well as origin stories for The Darkness for Image Comics and Shadowman for Valiant Comics.
After the end of Hitman, Ennis was lured to Marvel Comics with the promise from Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada that he could write The Punisher as long as he cared to. Instead of largely comical tone of these issues, he decided to make a much more serious series, re-launched under Marvel's MAX imprint.
In 2001 he briefly returned to UK comics to write the epic Helter Skelter for Judge Dredd.
Other comics Ennis has written include War Story (with various artists) for DC; The Pro for Image Comics; The Authority for Wildstorm; Just a Pilgrim for Black Bull Press, and 303, Chronicles of Wormwood (a six issue mini-series about the Antichrist), and a western comic book, Streets of Glory for Avatar Press.
In 2008 Ennis ended his five-year run on Punisher MAX to debut a new Marvel title, War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle.
In June 2008, at Wizard World, Philadelphia, Ennis announced several new projects, including a metaseries of war comics called Battlefields from Dynamite made up of mini-series including Night Witches, Dear Billy and Tankies, another Chronicles of Wormwood mini-series and Crossed both at Avatar, a six-issue miniseries about Butcher (from The Boys) and a Punisher project reuniting him with artist Steve Dillon (subsequently specified to be a weekly mini-series entitled Punisher: War Zone, to be released concurrently with the film of the same name).

Part of Garth Ennis's fantastic Punisher run. The heroes that Punisher meets most frequently (Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Wolverine) decide to finally bring him down. He pretty much always has their number and makes them look like chumps. My only complaint is how John McCrea draws Wolverine. He looks ridiculous.

“When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.” - Jonathan Swift
So we come to the end of Garth Ennis’ Marvel Knights: The Punisher series - but not the end of his run on the character. After this comes The Punisher: Born and the entire MAX series, with associated spin-offs, all of which are somehow even better! But first we gotta wrap up this one.
Throughout Marvel Knights, Frank’s been making a fool of Marvel’s most popular characters - he used Spidey as a human shield against a raging transgender Russian cyborg; messed with Daredevil’s radar; and, among many humiliations, literally steamrolled Wolverine! Now the three superheroes (or dunces as Ennis is implying because he continues to write them as dimwits) are uniting against Frank to take care of him once and for all!
Ennis has a very clear contempt for the superhero and it’s so funny to read him putting down fan favourites. It helps that he’s also in silly mode for most of this book. Among my favourite moments in the series has been Ennis ripping the piss out of every Marvel superhero he chucks in, so Confederacy is a good time as it’s basically nothing but that all the way through. Wolverine especially is written as this blithering, ‘roided-out idiot. The best part of the book is when the three confront Frank and Wolverine launches into another angry rant:
Logan: “Ya just reached the end o’yer highway o’hate, Castle! Gonna send ya back ta drivin’ school so ya kin learn yer lessons th’ hard way! Gonna teach ya ‘bout the traffic on Wolverine Street!”
and Frank mutters: “If ever there was a man who needed an off-switch...” - I was laughing so much I had to put my iPad down. (The only way to read most of the Ennis Marvel Knights Punisher books is digitally via Comixology because, for some reason, Marvel have decided not to keep these amazing comics in print! You’re leaving money on the table, Marvel!)
Confederacy is also a really exciting story with Frank dreaming up imaginative ways to neutralise the two heaviest hitters, Wolverine and Spider-Man, long enough for him to have a one-on-one crack at Daredevil. He’s so effective that you actually believe Frank could have a shot at taking down these chuckleheads if he had to (and has done in the non-canon, The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe, also written by Ennis and also terrific fun).
That scene when the three first confront Frank who immediately surrenders his weapon and walks into the diner for a cheeseburger? That was unexpected. And who could guess where the story goes from there? Certainly not with another famous Marvel superhero getting enormously constipated, but then it’s Ennis and crudeness should be expected!
We also get the conclusion of Soap’s story and for a moment I thought he was going to break - a punching bag can only take so many hits, especially when it’s girl scouts doling them out! - and he almost does, but makes it through in one piece and, happily, gets his best possible ending. Soap lived happily ever after (the eejit)!
I’m not a huge fan of John McCrea’s art which is fine here but I would’ve preferred Steve Dillon to have drawn it. I feel like there should be a law where any Punisher story written by Ennis has to be drawn by Dillon! McCrea’s Daredevil looks a little too cartoon-y but his snarling Wolverine was good.
The Punisher: Confederacy of Dunces is a really excellent Punisher book and a fine way to end the run. It’s also no surprise Ennis went from this superhero-smackdown story to making it a regular fixture in The Boys a couple years later! If you enjoy seeing Frank take out superheroes, or liked The Boys, give this one a look. If you’re a fan of Ennis’ Punisher, you won’t need any encouragement from me to pick this one up (or download it as the case currently is)!
When Ennis and Frank get together, truly genius comics appear!

Generally enjoyable cape fare featuring our beloved Punisher, Death-Skull and all!
When a trio of opponents seek revenge, as much as implementing their “naïve” morality uponst the world, Frank Castle finds himself in a situation he shouldn’t be able to win. Only through brains over brawn, can he hope to survive. An onslaught of muscle meets a varied skill set based on metis.
Well overlapping with DC’s other (BatMan) it’s a fun little conflict between the supra-normal and the mundane. Will Frank Castle survive? Maybe, you’ll just have to read to find out.
3.5 stars but I'll round up to 4 'cause I'm in a good mood.

It is no doubt that Garth Ennis completely revitalised the character. The action, dark humour and character development he brought into the series saved the book.
However, I found this final volume of the series (which would be later rebranded as Punisher Max) to be fairly disappointing. Not only has the art fallen in the terms of quality, the disrespect to some of the classic Marvel characters, for the sake of the author's personal preferences cannot be overlooked either.
Overall, Confederacy of Dunces is a step down from what Garth Eniss had delivered in the previous entries of the series.

A solid ending. Basically Dardevil, Wolverine, and Spidy team up to stop the punisher from doing more crazy shit. It's actually pretty funny, and Punisher knows these guys can easily take him out, so he basically has to trick them a lot to even survive.
It's more on the goofy side but it's fun none the less. The very last issue shows Punisher will never stop killing people that need to be killed.

This Punisher series has been fun but with a lot of highs and lows.
I think this ending was kind of fun by facing Frank against three Marvel heroes (spider-man, daredevil and wolverine), all of them have appeared previously on one shots or stories from this run.
While it was fun, at the same time I think Garth Ennis is insulting these three heroes.
His personal feelings for this characters or what he wanted Punisher to be cannot be done by making stablished and more important characters in the Marvel Universe, act stupidly or out of character.
I've found that some of Garth Ennis tropes work well in certain settings, but they fail spectacularly in others.
Those highs and lows that I've mention clearly correlate with the use of these tropes and the settings used for Punisher stories. It could have been so much more, but it ends up being not so great.
I hope his MAX series is more focused and street level.

I wasn't that excited to see Frank go up against Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Wolverine, especially since Ennis treats them with such contempt, but this arc was surprisingly fun. They really milk the amount of punishment Wolverine can take.

Not really that deep into Marvel yet but it felt off that Wolverine is so dumb. Not that good story overall, but it was okay

W końcu musiało do tego dojść. Zbyt wiele zgonów zwróciło uwagę bohaterskiej braci. Na przeciwko Punishera stanie trio herosów, której już krzyżowało z Frankiem w jakiś sposób swoje losy podczas historii tworzonej przez Ennisa. Daredevil, Wolverine i Spider-man. Każde z nich ma jakiś uraz do Castle'a(w przypadku Logana można nawet mówić o czystej nienawiści. Zwłaszcza, że niedawno Frank nieźle rozprostował mu kości...).
Krąg się zacieśnia i Punisher będzie musiał się skonfrontować ze swoimi "oprawcami". Zrobi to w całkiem ciekawy sposób, w przypadku wystrzału z wyrzutni rakiet na moment opadła mi szczęka. Frank doskonale sobie zdaje sprawę jakie są ich mocne i słabe strony. I boleśnie to wykorzystuje. Gdzieś na boku mamy ciągnięty dalej wątek Soap'a, który już oficjalnie stoczył się na samo dno, choć po nieudanej próbie odebrania sobie życia przyjdzie małe katharsis i próba sprostania swoim policyjnym obowiązkom. Nic szczególnego.
Fajnie było też przywitać starego znajomego, mianowicie Dave'a z pierwszego tomu. Jest on tutaj takim comic reliefem, zbierającym podpisy superbohaterów do własnego kajecika. Tak. I to zakończenie, gdzie całej trójce przyjdzie stanąć nie tylko przeciwko Frankowi, ale i jeszcze jednemu osobnikowi, którego Castle wcześniej wyratował z pewnej przestępczej aukcji. Satysfakcja gwarantowana.
Niestety prawie już standardowo przy tej kolekcji mamy do czynienia z średnimi rysownikami. John McCrea nie popisał się tutaj zanadto zwłaszcza, gdy zerkałem na postać Wolverine'a. Nie wiem czemu, ale wyglądał jakby go wyciosali dopiero co z drewna... Nie ma co płakać za zakończonym runem, zwłaszcza, że za rogiem czai się następny. Punisher MAX. Jedna z moich ulubionych serii. Zapraszam.

Confederacy of Dunces collects the final stretch of Garth Ennis' Marvel Knights run of The Punisher (The Punisher (2001) #33-37. Joined by John McCrea, his collaborator on Hitman, this arc follows a group of superheroes conspiring to take down the Punisher. Daredevil leads the effort, and is joined by Wolverine and Spider-Man, who all seek to bring the mean vigilante tearing up the streets of New York down once and for all. But this is a Punisher book, so you just know Frank Castle is coming up on top.
The story is funny and creative, but Ennis' dislike of mainstream superheroes shines through easily here. Daredevil is written as a humorless prude, Spidey as a wimp and Wolverine as a meat-head, making the Punisher the only real likeable character here. The way Frank navigates the scenario of being outmatched was fun to see unfold, but you can definitely feel the contrived moments surface. McCrea's artwork is also always a bit of an acquired taste, and though I enjoy his raggedy designs from time to time, I did feel they were a bit too crude in this volume for my liking.
Though Confederacy of Dunces reads like an appropriate escalation of scale for a final volume and it does tie up some loose ends with relation to characters introduced as early as Welcome Back, Frank (The Punisher 2000 series), it doesn't really seem to actually pay off anything with relation to Frank Castle himself. Ennis will get another stab at the character soon after with the much more lauded MAX series, but overall the Marvel Knights era ends with a rather forgettable volume.

I picked this up after watching The Boys on Amazon and wanted to get another Garth Ennis fix. I'm not sure that this arc is representative of Ennis' run on The Punisher, but it's not particularly thoughtful and the characters are two-dimensional (fittingly)--and the material certainly doesn't meet the standard he set with Preacher. It is goofy, cartoonishly violent and fun as hell. Ennis' disdain for costumed superheroes--so overt in The Boys (the comic and the show)--is on full display here. His depiction of Wolverine as a catch-phrase spouting, dimwitted musclehead is absolutely hilarious. If you like The Boys, check this out.

This was a fun arc to go out on. The art was a little eh but the story was entertaining. Even with just this Garth Ennis run though, I think I've read enough Punisher to last a lifetime. Many consider his run to be the best the character has ever had and if that's the case I think Punisher just isn't my thing.

Good not great wasn’t really that interesting, but still better than the last volume.
Read
June 21, 2019Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Wolverine decide to bring down Frank Castle for good. Meanwhile, Frank is on the trail of mobsters and stumbles upon someone useful for his showdown with the heroes. Because this is written by Garth Ennis, who hates superheroes, Frank naturally makes fools of the trio at every turn. It's fun to read, but too silly I think. Ennis' farcial stories aren't my favorites of his. I do like how he brings the story full circle to Welcome Back, Frank, referencing the events of that book and even bringing back one of its characters. And of course, Ennis' characterization of Frank remains superb.

Spider-Man, Daredevil and The Wolverine come together to take down The Punisher. Obviously, Frank Castle has other plans up his sleeve and a secret weapon that he stumbles upon.
With Garth Ennis writing, you can be certain of a thrilling ride, non-stop action and wonderful one-liners from Frank Castle. The dialogue, in the restaurant and roof-top scenes, left me in stitches. While the drawings are full of emotion and energy, they do feel a bit cartoon-like.
Great for a quick, weekend read.

Nejlepší book v celé sérii. Na změnu kreslíře jsem si celkem bez problémů zvykl a Ennis tady vytáhl vše, co umí nejlépe - kombinaci zábavného násilí, černý humor a taky si dělá slušnou prdel z marveláckých superhrdinů. Co se týče samotnýho příběhu, tak je hrozně zábavné sledovat Punishera jako Kevina McAllistera, jak dělá z každého svoji děvku. Lepší završení série se hledá těžko.

McCrea draws one helluva good Spider-Man. Ennis pisses on every classic Marvel hero. What else a growing boy needs?
March 30, 2016
I just wish Ennis didn't have to bring 9/11 into it but aside from that misstep a fun conclusion to his super-hero version of Punisher.
