Description

This is the last page of a 3 pages sequence I was lucky to win recently during a C-Link auction.

To be clear, nobody can touch Ennis�s take on the Punisher in my book. Best ever in intensity and sophistication, it remains unsurpassed, even by its creators or historic writers.

But from time to time, there have been excellent efforts and one of them was Psychoville, an arc that ran from Punisher War Zone 12 to 16 during the 90s (1993 to be precise). Expertly written by Dan Abnett, it tells a sort of What if story that�s so different from the usual gang or warfare violence, it was burned in my teen mind. I reread it recently upon seeing the pages for sale and it still holds up nicely. If you have even a moderate interest in the character or simply like good stories with good art, I would recommend it.

And good art it was, Mike Mckone super realistic approach worked so well to ground the story in the day to day context it needed. Nothing flashy but super solid and detailed art.

Without disclosing too much, basic premise was putting the character as a regular joe, a regular citizen, in a regular average small town. Or is it?

I really like that first panel as Frank quickly recuperates and dispose of the beer belly husband. Again, tons of debris on the grounds and tony cuts on Frank�s body.

Panel 4 & 5 are very important within the story as I feel it�s the point in which it strays off the path of normalcy for Frank.

He reaches to Alice now that he has secured her and while we get a false sense that she is trying to compose herself in panel 4, she goes at him with a nasty kitchen knife in the last. Mike did a great job at showing his surprise and being destabilized by her attack, both on his face and overall body language.

This also the last page with Frank from that issue so it�s quite the cliffhanger till next month, isn�t it? ^^

Another great action page and staging within a small room from Mike.

Please see my other two posts for the other 2 pages as it made sense to upload all 3 together.

OK, THERE you go go, Frank :) But, little does he know...she didn't want help?! We'll see! Congrats on this as well as the whole batch of 3 - definitely made sense to post the 3 back-to-back-to-back.
