A lifetime of war has taken its toll on The Punisher, as his neverending crusade to kill crime has resulted in this soldier using any and all methods at his disposal to get the job done. The Punisher may be getting his hands on his greatest weapon yet: The War Machine armour of the deceased James Rhodes, as he becomes a walking arsenal outfitted in pilfered Stark technology.
I’ve been trying to make some sense all morning of the current state of Marvel comics, following the weekend reveal of 52 new covers (sort of rings a bell) that will chart the direction of the Marvel Universe in the wake of Secret Empire and the Legacy mini-series that aims to re-establish the status quo of several familiar icons.

Whenever a non-comic book geek friend asks me to explain the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War to them, I always just summarize it as “All the heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe versus Thanos”.

Oh, this news makes me so happy! I’ve already explained why I think season two of Daredevil is superior to season one, and in that explanation I touch on Jon Bernthal’s depiction of the rather angry Punisher. And what a depiction it is. Angry, psychotic, VIOLENCE INCARNATE with a side order of vulnerability and sadness – he did such a good …
