The Punisher (USA) di Greg Rucka

Matt mi vizi 
Questa testata, insieme a Devil, sta facendo davvero parlare di sè (in positivo) e le preview si sprecano.. cioè, per me è fantastico. 
E credo sia interessante perchè questa serie spinge a riflettere sull'interrogativo lanciato da Rucka: di fatto Frank ha già compiuto la sua vendetta, ha già ucciso gli assassini della sua famiglia.. cosa lo spinge ad agire?
E' un bel Puni questo, più soldato e meno "maniaco".. sono contenta che se ne parli.

Sì, sarà un amarcord di Gotham Central quasi.. che nostalgia. 
Bellissimo Matt.

Bellissimo Matt.  

C'è anche un intervista a Rucka (è di qualche settimana fa), non so se l'avevi già letta: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=35519

[Selina Kyle]

In parte sì, l'avevo letta.. grazie. 
Considera che i numeri #4-5 mi hanno fatto risalire il ruckometro a livelli Batwomaniani.. sto sbavando sugli albetti. 

[Daredevil]

Ottimo

[Occhi nella Notte]

Sotto l'aspetto grafico mi sembra si possa dire ben poco... è bellissimo!
Per la storia ancora devo provarla, ma ce l'ho... devo solo trovare il tempo!

THE Comic Vine Review by Matt Demers


After last month's issue, it's safe to say that Frank Castle is injured mentally, as well as physically; this month, we see that fallout.

The Good

There's an absence of dialog in this issue when it comes to its two main protagonists, and I think it's wonderfully executed. Frank doesn't say a word at all, and I think it reflects the loneliness and bleakness of last month's amazing issue.

Besides a glaring problem that I have in "The Verdict" (see below), the accomplice-turned-assassin character is being executed quite nicely. The duality of Punisher (in white snow camo) and her (in wetwork black) contrasts nicely, and looks to provide us with some conflict in the next two issues. My guess is that they'll be forced to work together to achieve the same goal, only to reach some impasse that they can't cross together: either Rucka is going to try to make it seem like she's a match for Frank, or they'll separate to reconvene later.

The fact that the "front page" of the Daily Bugle issue from DAREDEVIL #6 shows up on a laptop screen is a wonderful use of continuity. A+.
The Bad

Frank's killing of the guard in the opening pages didn't seem to fit the Punisher's MO; besides being a lackey for a larger purpose, he didn't seem to be hurting anyone. While the book has been a spot-on character study into Frank Castle otherwise, this moment made me cringe a little bit.

I kept trying to go back and find some reason why the ski security guys had to die, and didn't come up with anything good: if they were established to be part of the larger Exchange syndicate, maybe I could've seen why they were taken out, but for all we know, they were just doing a job.
The Verdict

If anything, this issue really reminded me of a PUNISHER MAX storyline where a woman that's crossed paths with Frank becomes an assassin to get revenge. It doesn't make this issue any worse, but it keeps me from fully appreciating it. I mean, I thought this was why Punisher was turned into Franken-Castle and back again: to get new, exciting stories. The fact that this issue feels cribbed from another series starring the same character leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Which is a pity, because otherwise Rucka is doing wonderful things with the character, and his characterization. It's rare that I thoroughly get a hero's motivation and psyche like I do with Frank Castle here, and that's cause for celebration.

Lark

[Selina Kyle]

Che meraviglia.. ma c'è anche Devil! 
Personaggio che Lark disegna splendidamente, e Rucka scritto proprio con Bru. Rivederli insieme a lungo (Bru, Rucka e Lark intendo) sarebbe un mio grande sogno.. 

[Daredevil]

Speriamo!

[Occhi nella Notte]

Fosse stato per me infatti avrei messo Lark su Devil.
Ma questo numero, rispetto ai primi 6, sarebbe una sorta di "nuova storia" dopo la prima run di 6 numeri?

[Deadpool]

Mamma mia come lo aspetto
