PC POST #279: The untold Punisher story "Rules of the Game"

The guy on the back is Baron Von Strucker

There are projects that stays on hold for a few years (Punisher: Nightmare & Punisher: The Trial of Punisher) and eventually are released and others that will never see the light of the day.

Rules of the Game is one of those stories, it was written by Gregory Wright and in the artwork the legendary Jim Lee.

Nick Fury and Punisher would form an uneasy alliance to take down the same enemy for different purposes one of the main reasons for this alliance was to create much tension as possible between Fury and Castle.

The bad guy was named Walter Maddox and he was the leader of the group called Blackhearts, he was a drug lord that negotiate with other "parties" hi-tech weapons stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D.

 

This project was never halted or even had a schedule. The problem was that Jim Lee was working in the X-Men titles and Marvel didn't want to make an ultimatum because he was a talented artist and Marvel needed him. Marvel gave him the time he needed to finish this project.

But unfortunately it was lost in time and i have no hope to see this 64 page graphic novel finished. 

Many Thanks for Gregory Wright who was kind enough to give us these informations about this project.

PC POST #239: MARVEL 1872 feat. The Punisher

MARVEL 1872

 

 Apparently Marvel will launch these series during Secret Wars event, more or less like the classic Marvel 1602. Only a few characters are confirmed like Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Punisher, Nick Fury and Kingpin. This will be a Western story but we are waiting for more news regarding these series, until now we don't know if this will be a limited series or a bit more but i will update this post as soon as Marvel is going to release more news. This series will be written by Gerry Dugan and the artist Doc Shaner.

Regarding the Punisher we don't know if this version is related to "A Man Named Frank" one-shot written by Chuck Dixon and on pencils John Buscema that was released almost 2 decades ago but it would be amazing if it was tied with that book.  

Here goes some artwork of Doc Shaner for these series:

PC POST #198: -REVIEW- Marvel's Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher

REVIEW(may contain spoilers) by @ivomgs

Well in overall i like it. It's way better than Technovore in every way... Animation, action and plotwise more interesting.

The Frank that is present in this book is a bit of sort of Ennis and Rucka's. He didn't talk too much and when he talks he is really straigh forward with much words as needed.

Unfortunately he is a bit one dimensional character and sometimes a bit "short sighted" for the "whole picture" that was this movie all about.

The other thing i didn't like at all and almost ruined it for me is that once again they used the Punisher (brainwashed) to kill a few SHIELD (innocent) guards... I'm tired of producers/writers using Frank for this stuff over and over again.

It could be more interesting if they used Black Widow instead of the Punisher, since her "weaponry" it's less lethal than the Punisher.

I like to see the Punisher in most of the scenes with the exception i mentioned above. He gots plenty of spotlight in this movie as one of the main character and he uses a lot of stealth, hand to hand fight (really good) and the classic shoot em up. It was really a pleasure to see finally the Punisher in action in a animation film.

This story in my opinion was more centered in Black Widow than in the Punisher. The only reason that Frank was on board was to capture Cain. The main villain only appeared in the end of this film and i didn't care about him, the only good thing is that Frank put him out for good with a good sequence of action scenes.

OVERAL RATING: 3.5 / 5
