As many of you NERDS already know, I am a big Punisher fan. \u00a0Well, when I heard that Marvel was doing a Marvel Now series starring the Punisher by the creative team of Edmondson and Gerads, I jumped for joy. \u00a0I was glad to see Frank get a title of his own once again. \u00a0The creative writing as well as the wonderful artwork is worthy of the Punisher. \u00a0The stories give Frank back the appeal he had when he first graced the pages of Spider-Man.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For you followers of Somewhatnerdy, you have seen me review issue one as well as write a post in a In Case You Missed It segment, but you do not know how important the Punisher titles are. \u00a0That is why I created this segment titled, Books Worth Reading. \u00a0I know some of you may think that I am biased since I am a Punisher fan, but Marvel Now’s the Punisher is a title that all comic book fans should be reading. \u00a0They are well written and drawn amazingly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let me catch you up with what has been going on. \u00a0Frank has left NYC to fight crime in L.A. \u00a0The first gang in his sites is the Dos Soles. \u00a0While fighting this L.A. street gang, Frank realizes they have connections. \u00a0What king of connection could a street gang have that would give Frank a little trouble? \u00a0Well, one connection is the terrorist group known as A.I.M. and the other connection is the villain known as Electro. If that wasn’t bad enough, he has a Special Ops group known as the Howling Commandos trying to kill him. \u00a0Intrigued? \u00a0Well, you should be.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So far, there has been 5 issues in this series and I give all of them a perfect rating of 11 out of 10 stars. \u00a0I have said it before but the writing of Nathan Edmondson is phenomenal and the artwork of Mitch Gerads is out of this world. \u00a0This creative team was destined to tell Frank’s story. \u00a0That is why the Punisher is a Book Worth Reading!<\/strong><\/p>\n
