The Punisher is one of my favorite characters of all time.\u00a0 That is why his books are some of the only titles that I get from Marvel.\u00a0 The first time I was introduced to the Punisher was in the Amazing Spider-man vol. 1 #135.\u00a0 When I saw this vigilante dressed in black with a large skull on his chest, I was immediately interested.<\/h4>\n

Let\u2019s fast forward to 2012.\u00a0 I just read the Untold Tales of the Punisher Max #1 and I was very impressed.\u00a0 For those of you who do not follow Marvel, the Max titles are the ones with explicit content and are not suitable for minors.\u00a0 Issue #1 tells the story of a man named Jimmy who is asked to kill someone to clear a debt he has with a loan shark.\u00a0 If he doesn\u2019t do it by midnight the next day they will come back and kill him.\u00a0 The comic shows the anguish going through his mind and follows him throughout the 24 hours he was given.\u00a0 Well, eventually his decisions lead to a meeting with the Punisher.\u00a0 And for those of who know how the Punisher operates, you know that can\u2019t be good.<\/h4>\n

For those of you who don\u2019t know the Punisher, he is an ex-marine as well as ex-law enforcement that lost his entire family in a mob hit.\u00a0 He swore to his wife and kids, that those who do wrong will be punished.\u00a0 You commit a crime, you\u2019re going down and if it\u2019s the Punisher that\u2019s after you, you\u2019re going down 6 feet under.<\/h4>\n

Jason Starr did a great job in writing this story.\u00a0 The traditional Punisher story is told from the Punisher\u2019s point of view, a war journal if you will. The way this story is written, you really got into the mind of Jimmy as well as getting consumed by the story.\u00a0 You are actually in Jimmy\u2019s head.\u00a0 This story was so good that I was actually saddened when I reached the end of the issue.\u00a0 I wanted more.\u00a0 The art by Roland Boschi is also top notch.\u00a0 Overall this comic knocked it out of the park.\u00a0 I cannot wait until issue #2!<\/h4>\n
