Superstar Creators Jason Aaron and Steve Dillon's grisly, uncensored Punisher run is collected in one oversized volume! The Mob has set a trap for Frank Castle, turning low-level enforcer Wilson Fisk into a fictional 'Kingpin of Crime' for Frank to t Review: A beautiful character study of the Punisher and one of the best adaptations of Bullseye ever - This is a masterpiece. It is the full 22 comics and a christmas special done by Aaron in the MAX universe where there are no superpowers. Punisher ages in real time so he is the Vietnam Vet and easily a pensioner by now. That doesn't stop him from being a force of nature and one of the scariest heroes in the Marvel world. The story without spoilers is about the rise of the Kingpin from the old crime families and Punisher's mission to take down the Kingpin. The focus of the stories go back and forth between the toll the war takes on Punisher and Kingpin and then the other side is Punisher's fights against the various assassins. The real pinnacle for this is when Bullseye comes into the story. Lacking the powers of being able to hit anything with ridiculous rebound shots etc Bullseye is just crazy. Really crazy, so crazy it makes me fathom however anyone who isn't on twelve anti psychotic medications even came close to this mindset. He is frightening and maddening and works as a device to peel away the layers of Punisher that no one else sees until we get the main point of Punisher... what happened on the day his family died. The actual push of the story is looking at Punisher. We see how he is coping with the strain of his war into his pensioner years. We look at how he takes on the Kingpin, faces assassins and what kind of man he is. I want to avoid spoilers but Punisher isn't the good guy here. He is just trying to kill the mob and in many ways he is worse than the people he goes after with exception of Bullseye. We watch as layers of Punisher are peeled back and the terrible truth of what kind of person he is are revealed. It is a sublime character study in a grounded world of ungrounded people. **** small point. This is quite a long omnibus and something to be taken at pace. Don't buy it on prime because it will cost you almost 1/3 more and you won't be reading it that fast anyway so time isn't of the essence with this comic Review: M Rated Punisher - A slightly different perspective on The Punisher where there are no heroes ... just the lesser of evils but I like it. Great artwork and an excellent story. 8/10

Great Compilation of Punisher
Lots of good things I could say about this treasury of stories but I think it's better for you to buy it and form your own conclusions.

Punisher Max by Jason Aaron & Steve Dillon Omnibus
Da ist es nun also: Aaron und Dillons PunisherMAX Omnibus. Das Buch beinhaltet folgende Ausgaben: PunisherMax: Kingpin (Punisher Max (Quality Paper)) PunisherMax: Bullseye (Punisher Max (Quality Paper)) PunisherMax: Frank (Punisher Max (Quality Paper)) Punishermax: Homeless (Punisher Max (Quality Paper)) und PunisherMAX: X-Mas Special Die X-Mas Special Story ist sicherlich sehr interessant, allerdings nicht der primäre Kaufgrund; für mich eher ein kleines Extra. Die epische Auseinandersetzung zwischen Punisher und Kingpin ist schliesslich etwas, was viele Punisher Fans, nach Ennis legendärer Arbeit am Punisher, nicht für möglich gehalten hätten. Ennis hat die Latte für Punisher Comics so dermassen hoch gelegt, dass man es kaum erwarten durfte, nochmal ähnlich gute Stories von Frank Castle bestaunen zu dürfen. Und so musste sich auch Aaron mit dem Größtem messen lassen. Und er hat seine Sache sehr gut gemacht wie ich finde. Natürlich ist es nicht ganz fair wenn man die Arbeiten der Beiden direkt vergleicht, da sie mMn unterschiedliche Stile haben. Desweiteren hat Ennis über eine Dekade hinweg konstant aussergewöhnliche Arbeit auf höchstem Niveau geleistet. Alle seine Punisher Stories sind von gleichbleibender brillianter Qualität. Aaron hat hier "nur" 4 Ausgaben geschrieben, die sind natürlich auch exzellent aber vom Umfang nicht ansatzweise in der Nähe von Ennis. Nein, Aaron hat seinen ganz eigenen Erzählstil und der hat's auch in sich: spannend, brutal, schockierend, witzig und mit vielen Überraschungsmomenten. Obwohl es mehrmals Anspielungen auf Ennis-Punisher-Stories gibt, ist es nicht zwingend notwendig die Vorgänger gelesen zu haben. Dieses Buch kann man auch sehr gut ohne Punisher Vorkenntnisse geniessen. Auch als Einstieg in das Punisher Universum gut geeignet, sollte man sich nur der Gefahr bewusst sein, dass man dann wahrscheinlich nicht mehr um die kompletten Ennis Comics herumkommt. Abgerundet wird das Ganze aber erst mit den genialen Zeichnungen von Steve Dillon, der mit seinem einzigartigem Stil Frank Castle ähnlich geprägt hat wie es Ennis getan hat. Zusammen mit Lewis LaRosa meine favorisierten Punisher Zeichner. Neben dem wundervollen Inhalt macht das Buch aber auch äusserlich einen sehr guten Eindruck. Der weisse Einband sieht sehr schick aus, wobei ein Cover aus PunisherMAX: Homeless als Deckelmotiv benutzt wurde. Ein kleiner schwarzer Punisher ziert die Rückseite, der Umschlag zeigt das Covermotiv von PunisherMAX: Frank. Die Papierqualität kann überzeugen und ingesamt wirkt das Buch sehr edel. Alle Punisher Fans sollten also getrost zugreifen. Kaufen!
