You are the chillest comic book youtuber I've found. Absolutely love this channel. I just started 3rd shift at my job and need some reading material. Your channel definitely has helped immensely. Thank you!
It's criminal that War Journal and War Zone have never seen omni format, the Carl Potts/Jim Lee stuff were some of his most classic badass stories ever but Marvel only ever seem focused on re-printing the Ennis stuff.
My man, you're helping me go broke! I've been binge watching your content and loving it, keep it up. Just picked up the Garth Ennis Punisher Omnibus from Amazon. Can't get as good deals from Instocktrades being in Canada.
My first punisher comic was punisher volume 3 and I loved it. Barracuda was funny and insane. The slavers story was disturbing and cool. I was amazed by the artwork in the slavers story.
Josh Young definitely, I’ve read all those too. Just trying to think if I need to include Avengers or Fantastic Four by Hickman. Is that considered cosmic? Haven’t read those yet.
The Punisher deserves more material from the 90s with the Omnibus or HC Oversized’s treatment .... I expect with the current exposure from the Netflix series we’ll get more material from that era ....
Which would you advice me to choose between these ones to approach the character ? I would love to begin with Ennis's punisher, cause I've heard a lot of good opinions about him, but I don't know if it would be the best option. Thanks and big up for the channel, amazing content.
Hey, do The Punisher max comics volume 1 to volume 6 cover the full punisher story.. or the story so far ( if theres more volumes to be made.) Also where can i i purchase the volumes? I see some on amazon but im not sure if its these versions because it says "paperback"
Just recently started watching your channel bc I’ve realized I wanna get statues in the near future. If you see this, I gotta know how you felt about Garth’s run, assuming you’ve read it by now?! It’s so good imo. If you liked it, check out Fury: My War Gone By 🔥
12:24 this trade group of omnis for retail, where is it? Is it a website? Or how can I find it? Cause I’m eyeing a handful of OOP omnis that I refuse to pay the obscene resale price for
hey im a fan and would like to request the dark horse aliens series and the robocop and predator and gi joe if possible, love watching these, thanks mate
Okay so the Marvel knights Omnibus and the max Omnibus from Garth ennis have completely different material??? I’m trying to buy one but I always thought they were the same thing or just one had a couple more issues. But so they’re completely different ???
I have a fan theory regarding Punisher MAX that goes into the original marvel comic run. Spoiler alert if you haven't read Wolverine Origins or Punisher MAX Born. Wolverine Origins introduced a character that essentially was the mastermind for the creation of Wolverine, Deadpool, Omega Red, Daken, Sabretooth, etc.. His name was Romulus and he was the first human-like creature as well as the true first mutant with telepathic abilities, claws, and a healing factor to ever be created. What if The Punisher was another weapon Romulus helped to create. Throughout the Punisher MAX: Born series Castle was talking to a certain entity within himself goading him into becoming what he eventually will become. It came to a head at the end when he accepted the offer and he inhumanly killed three dozen Vietnamese soldiers while soaking up seven bullets. At the end this entity says that he will grant Castle his wish, but there will be a cost, hence the splash page of Castle's family. What I'm getting at is what if Romulus was that entity and the actual mastermind that killed Castle's family from the shadows? As well as pulling his strings like he did with all the other weapons throughout their lives the same way. Idk but I think its a pretty awesome theory. Depending on how well you know the Romulus character.
I took it as a deal with the devil as well or possibly Frank becoming so shellshocked he began talking to himself to that extent. It kinda bothered me how Ennis never mentioned or explained this later on in the run, but the thing that stuck out to me was the entity saying Frank won't hear from him again or remember the past conversations, so that debunks the shellshock theory... I can't see Frank being that crazy. Also why would the devil wipe his mind? He has no reason to... Frank can't get to him... Or hurt him... It sounds to me like an entity in the physical realm, on Earth, afraid of Frank finding out and hunting him down after Frank puts two and two together.
Thank god I hope he sticks to MAX... He most likely will, due to his hate for regular marvel. I haven't read Platoon either, but I doubt he'll explain it other than the devil since he hates similar marvel powered characters in his books. But hey, I could be wrong. I'd just be happy if he revives the MAX run with Platoon or future punisher books which may be a stretch in itself.
Thanks, it'd be awesome if he could reboot the MAX-verse after war stories, making Punisher similar to Netflix's punisher, with him being an Afghan vet and younger. It would be cool if Ennis and Robertson do that Punisher series, Daken being a Kirkman and Hitch series, with Moon Knight and Cage both being a Bendis series.
Thomas Garrison whoa Bendis switched to DC? When did he? And yeah I liked Leandro's artwork also... It kinda took a while for me to get used to in Kitchen Irish,(which I now kinda blame the colorist for) but I ended up loving it in later stories.
I'm reading the list by marvel in tp. spoiler "wolverine kills the hell out of punisher" he chops his head off and cuts him in half. does that mean punisher is dead for real or is it just that books version? thx for the review, he's kind of cool.
So there's no omnibus/omnibi collecting all of his 80's comic books like his self-titled book or Warzone? You say the volume 3 is one of the more expensive ones and I can see why; it has the Slavers storyline which is probably the most well known Punisher story since Welcome Back, Frank.
Punisher is my favorite marvel character but I don’t dig any of the illustrators style, other than the first omnibus because it’s a classic vintage style. The last 6 max volumes illustration look ok at best, just don’t feel like none of the illustrators haven’t gotten it right with punisher yet 🤷♂️
