PUNISHER STORYTIME
All this year I'll be storytiming Punisher comics. I'll mostly focus on the pre-Ennis era, but there'll be a few Ennis era stories at certain points. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.
Yesterday I storytimed all 3 of The Punisher Back To School Specials (which you can still read right here: >>95044226 ).
Today I'm going to be posting the original War Zone arc by Chuck Dixon and John Romita Jr.
I've already posted a number of Chuck Dixon's Punisher stories, both from his run on War Journal and his fill-in issues during Mike Baron's run on The Punisher. But so far I have not posted ANYTHING from War Zone. Not a single issue from any writer. Today that changes, beginning with the first arc of Chuck Dixon's first run on War Zone.
The Punisher War Zone was launched in 1992 as a third ongoing series for the then ULTRA popular character. The "hook" used to set it apart from the other 2 ongoings was basically that it was "name writers and/or artists doing long form story arcs". Dixon wrote over half of the issues of the entire series over the course of 2 separate runs, and collaborated with artists like Mark Texiera, Joe Kubert, John Buscema, and, most famously, John Romita Jr. (in his prime when he was still one of the most unique and most popular artists in comics).
This particular story arc that we're starting off with is considered by many to be the best of Dixon's work on the character. It sees The Punisher go undercover in attempt to infiltrate the mafia and was a MAJOR turning point in the development of The Punisher's relationship with Microchip. It also sees (IIRC) the debut of the Carbone crime family, who would go on to become MAJOR players in The Punisher comics. It also features a rare appearance of Shotgun, one of the most underrated and most badass Marvel characters EVER.
In general, this arc is one of the best of its time and I seriously HIGHLY recommended that all of /co/ read it.

BUMP IF YOU'RE READING
One week left until Hiveswap's release
http://store.steampowered.com/app/623940/HIVESWAP_Act_1/
Are you excited /co/? It's 6gb and you don't even get to Alternia fully, and it's rated E10, so no funny horsecock jokes.
>>95155481
I thought it would be 3D
>>95155481
Wasn't this suppose to be a big RPG with tons of different classes and customization?
When did it become a point and click?
>>95155599
It was never that, it was always going to be a point n click.
>>95155577
Hasn't been 3D for years.
Still, this is what five years in development gets you apparently.
I want to get into Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, what are the best pre-reboot arcs?
Life of a Prince
>>95063900
One issue before they tried to make Dirty Bubble into a brainless monster there was an arc that was quite fun to read.
Anyone remember the name and which issue?
>>95063900
The arc where they god framed by Man-Ray and were on the run from IJLSA is a classic.
What was your reaction to this?

Surprised Atcham or Kerub or any other of Ecaflips kids are not fighting Ush. They could made better gods
>>95194790
Speaking of beasts, I'm surprised they don't seem to intend to use the new Ouginak member of the Forgotten in the season. Would have been interesting to see one of them animated, but maybe their addition to the game came too late in relation to season 3's scriptwiting.

Bojack Horseman is airing this weekend.
Are you excited /co/?
Yes, my misery needs company
>>95154680
Can't wait to see who will be dropping the F-bomb this season. My vote is on either Diane orBojack after contemplating on all the friendships he's messed up
So excite. Going to binge it all myself the day it comes out, and then I'm going to watch it with my girlfriend over the next few days.i really fucking hope they don't fuck up mr. peanutbutter and make him trump
>What Would They Say If They Knew?
His parents named him Clark Kent,
And no one has let him forget about it
Living under the largest shadow there was,
Clark is about to find out what that all entails...
This is-
Busiek and Immonen's Superman: Secret Identity
And here we go...
What went wrong?
>>95153352
Underestimating Mewni Military Might
>>95153352
Fans not realizing Toffee was a shit tier villain.
>>95153352
Nefcy claiming he was a "Magneto type character" and never showing that side of him.
The ones I can post on a blue board.

Two new episodes of Marvel's Spiderman aired today. Black Cat is cute, shame about the changes to her costume but Grey Griffion's voice for her is perfect.
>>95059233
>Grey Griffion
Holy fucking shit. I have to watch this now.
>The Rhino is a mutant like Rocksteady in TMNT
>>95059233
How many Catwoman-esque roles will Grey take?

Remember that one clip in the CN Russia showreel that looked like someone's Deviantart OC? I think this is her.
>>95147382
Haven't we already seen this person? I distinctly remember seeing a picture of a black powerpuff girl with blue hair on here, and also distinctly remember /co/ throwing a bitch fit about it despite this show being meaningless garbage.
Bunny?
Good GAWD! NO!

How does this make you feel /co/? Also, can we have a /co/ merch thread? We can also make this a shelf thread too.
