Punisher Max Complete Collection Vol. 1

Garth Ennis' finest work. Definitive Punisher run. It just works. This is how you treat a vigilante story. The collected volume is amazing. Good print.

The volume contains all 4 issues of the Punisher prequel miniseries "Born" and the first 12 issues of The Punisher both by Garth Ennis. Ennis's legendary yet tortured portrayal of The Punisher is truly dark, gritty and visceral, Ennis ventures into the deepest darkest depths of human nature, exploring the primal base violence inherent in humanity, through The Punisher's twisted war he conveys the coldness of the world, the destructive dark side of humans. The Punisher is no longer fighting for vengeance nor justice, he is fighting because only in the violence of war does he feel "alive", the story conveys this downwards spiral masterfully at first showing us a younger bloodthirsty yet not completely consumed Frank Castle, in "Born", during his tour in Vietnam on a doomed military base, the moody artwork conveys the sense of dread, loathing and horror, of men trying their hardest to grasp onto the last vestiges of their humanity before it begins to erode away eventually leading to a horrific battle which forever changes Frank Castle, creating a monster who feeds on perpetual war. The following 12 issues are blood soaked masterpieces, set nearly 40 years after "Born" it portrays the Punisher in New York City still waging his long bloody war against crime, a demented, inhuman man who hunts because that is all he knows, Ennis's writing truly creates a bleak tragedy of a man who has succumbed to destruction, a man who is possessed by war. The artwork by various artists is overall very good it captures in sublime detail the gritty ruined world of The Punisher. The artwork veers on the graphic and ultra-violent side with piles of blood drenched mobsters and murderers, yet does not glamourise it, rather it conveys the true brutal horror of violence. Overall the Comic is a masterpiece, arguably the greatest run on The Punisher and one of Marvel MAX's greatest titles. It is a dark exploration of violence, and to an extent crime, Ennis creates a morbid cynical world where humanity is plunging into the abyss, the visceral artwork combined with this paints a tortured, doomed world, a world gone wrong, and shows us this world through the eyes of a tortured doomed man, a man consumed, not by revenge, but war.

Garth Ennis ist für mich einer der besten Comic-Buch Autoten überhaupt. Besonders seine Punisher Geschichten sind großartig. So wie diese hier. Entstehung und Alttag des Punishers stehen hier auf dem Programm. Düster, brutal und spannend. Die hervorragenden Zeichnungen sind die "Cherry on the top".

Harika bir çizgi roman, hızlı ve zarar görmemiş bir şekilde geldi

Incrível é a única palavra que me vem à cabeça ao tentar resumir essa fase do Justiceiro. Aqui Garth Ennis faz um dos seus melhores trabalhos. Esse primeiro volume da série de 2004 traz os primeiros 2 arcos e a mini-série Born. Material simplesmente indispensável para qualquer fã do Punisher ou simplesmente de hqs de ação em geral.
