Welcome Back Frank， Part I is a rollercoaster ride of pure fun from start to finish！ I am a huge fan of the character Frank Castle （The Punisher） because he isn’t completely definable as hero or villain。 An anti-hero。 He has no qualms about killing anybody who has partaken in wrongdoings。 Despite this， he always makes sure he protects the innocent。 As I am a fan of Alan Moore’s work， this type of hero appeals to me and The Punisher is one of Marvel’s greatest examples of that。 Garth Ennis & Stev Welcome Back Frank， Part I is a rollercoaster ride of pure fun from start to finish！ I am a huge fan of the character Frank Castle （The Punisher） because he isn’t completely definable as hero or villain。 An anti-hero。 He has no qualms about killing anybody who has partaken in wrongdoings。 Despite this， he always makes sure he protects the innocent。 As I am a fan of Alan Moore’s work， this type of hero appeals to me and The Punisher is one of Marvel’s greatest examples of that。 Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon do a brilliant job here。 Steve’s artwork matches Garth’s punchy， fast paced writing so well。 This volume truly does breathe new life into the character， making him feel fresh and exciting。 Don’t expect it to all be serious though， of course there are some dark and gritty moments but also times of humour and daftness。 You’ll fly through reading this as it’s action-packed throughout。 The ending made me SO excited to read Part II hopefully in the near future！ 。。。more

Al lío y sin cortarse un pelo。 Lo que cabe esperar de Garth Ennis， aunque esta historia no llega a cotas tan cafres como las de otras obras suyas。 Después de una movida sobrenatural con ángeles que no queda muy explicada ni falta que hace， el Castigador vuelve a NY y sigue su cruzada eterna。 La historia es simple， entretenida y una gran muestra del arquetipo， con el giro adicional de los imitadores。 Muy muy recomendable。

The birth of the version of Punisher that most folks are aware of today。 This graphic novel pulls no punches with the violence or dark humor。 The Punisher （and Garth Ennis） at his absolute best。 A must read for any Punisher fan or fans of vigilante movies like Death Wish。

Still picking up almost anything I can find by Garth Ennis （apart from his war stories） and particularly trying to piece together every thing he did on The Punisher。 This is the first maxi series before the two ongoing series he worked on。 Some familiar images from his Preacher run， but it's still good stuff。 Frank gets shot a bunch of times and loses more blood than seems feasible， but the ultraviolence and hyperbolic gunfights make this a blast even if it's a mostly forgettable one。 Still picking up almost anything I can find by Garth Ennis （apart from his war stories） and particularly trying to piece together every thing he did on The Punisher。 This is the first maxi series before the two ongoing series he worked on。 Some familiar images from his Preacher run， but it's still good stuff。 Frank gets shot a bunch of times and loses more blood than seems feasible， but the ultraviolence and hyperbolic gunfights make this a blast even if it's a mostly forgettable one。 。。。more

Re-read po skompletovaní českej tetralógie a spomienka na časy， kedy bol každý komiks v ruke vzácnosťou。 Mám rád ennisovského （a dillonovského） Preachera， mám rád ich Hellblazera a mám rád šialený preklad Štěpána Kopřivu。 A áno， je to stále taká smiešna blbosť。 :）

Without a doubt， this is one of the best interpretations of The Punisher ever written。 Not shying away from the dark humor that would come with a gun-toting vigilante with a giant skull on his shirt， this version of Frank Castle feels the most human and well rounded as opposed to the psychotic， emotionless killing machine he later becomes in the various Max series。 Check it out。

Great story。 While reading this I discovered that this is the book they used for the 2004 Punisher movie。 Plus there was a panel that was used in the Netflix Daredevil series。 But aside from all that， this was a fun ride。 Frank slowly worked his way thru the Gnucci crime family who in desperation called in the Russian。 What a fight that was。 Anyway， I have the next wave of Ennis Punisher trades vol 1-10 and Born coming in the mail。 Can’t wait！

Divertente storia ricca di humor nero e macabro， che vede il ritorno del Punitore a quello che， più o meno， dovrebbe essere: un serial killer， uno a cui piace uccidere e seviziare criminali。Bravo Ennis a rilanciare un personaggio bollito come il Punitore， e buono Dillon， venuto a a mancare ancora giovane un paio di ani fa， ai disegni anche se， letto con continuità， il suo segno è stancante。 Alla fine troppe espressioni dei personaggi che si ripetono。 3 stelle e mezza。
