 Punisher #2 (2010) $5.00 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by JASON AARON Penciled by STEVE DILLON Cover by DAVE JOHNSON "KINGPIN," PART 2-An all-new ongoing series from the acclaimed team of Jason Aaron (WOLVERINE: WEAPON X) and Steve Dillon (PUNISHER: WELCOME BACK FRANK), two guys who were born to tell the exploits of Marvel's most brutal vigilante. Learn how mob bodyguard Wilson Fisk became the hard-bitten, brutal man he is today, as his plan to become the most powerful crime figure in New York springs into action. The rise of the Kingpin continues, though not if Frank Castle has anything to say about it. Date Available: 12/09/2009 BONUS REVIEW by TOM GRONKOWSKI  It’s the latest installment in Jason Aaron’s quest to out-Ennis Garth Ennis. Aaron ably channels the classic gruesome dark violence of his idol, but his writing lacks the black humor and overall goofiness that made Ennis’s run on Punisher so iconic. Steve Dillon is still there to draw mob goombahs’ faces in contorted horror. That helps. Aside from that, this issue is a pure cringe-fest. I’m all for dark comics, but there can only be so many gang rape scenes in one issue of a comic book. That being said, I like where this arc is headed, it just needs to focus more on the plot than the shock value. I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
