Over the course of this year I plan on doing an absolute truckload

Over the course of this year I plan on doing an absolute truckload of Punisher storytimes. My original plan was one complete story per day, or if I didn't have time then at least one issue per day, but I probably don't even have time for that much, so I'll be probably posting about one story per week and possibly more on occasion if I have time.

Most of the storytimes will be pre-Ennis, but I might post some Ennis stuff or even post-Ennis material if I feel like it. The Dixon and Baron runs will probably make up the bulk of the storytimes, but parts of Potts' run will likely get posted as well along with other writers and eventually I'll definitely get around to marathoning all of Punisher Armory.

I storytimed the original Punisher miniseries (aka Circle of Blood) over the weekend, and now I'm gonna try to storytime the sort-of-follow-up "graphic novel" by the same team entitled Return to Big Nothing.

This features absolutely GORGEOUS art from Mike Zeck and is arguably even nicer looking than his work on the original mini. The scripting from Steven Grant is also arguably stepped up and features some solid storytelling and dialogue and is especially notable for one of the best character monologues ever in a comic.

So, let's get down to it and read this shit.

PUNISHER - RETURN TO BIG NOTHING

Thanks for the effort OP

No problem.

>>88890646
Excellent cover.
>>
>>88890687
>>88890748
This is an awesome introduction.
>>
>>88890888
This dialogue is already awesome.
>>
>>88891116
That second panel looks familiar. Has that ever been made into a reaction image? If so I'd appreciate somebody posting it. If not I'll crop it myself.
>>
>>88891214
That is just fucked.
>>
>>88891471
I've always said that Punisher's real power is luck. Literally almost every early story with him had at least one scene where he was left for dead and only survived because they didn't bother to check if he was still alive or not.
>>
>>88891542
Is this the most depressing Punisher page ever?
>>
>>88891756
This is surprisingly risqué for 80s Marvel.
>>
>>88891900
Those last two sentences are bullshit. Punisher is lucky as fuck.
>>
This is just really nice art in general.
>>
>>88897203

That's why it was published through the Epic imprint.
>>
>>88899305
Did any Epic books ever have outright nudity?
>>
>>88900019

Sure.

Tits, at least. Not sure about dicks (probably not, though).
>>
>>88890646
This was actually given a second printing without the "Epic Comics" labeling (at least I think that's correct) and new front and back covers.

This is the front cover for the second printing version.
>>
Frank? Frank.

OP thanks, I read the first storytime when you dropped it and plan on following along with all the storytimes throughout the year. That being said, would you mind putting something about the Punisher storytimes in the subject line of the OP? It would make these easier to find.
>>
>>88890646
I just read MAX Complete Collection 4 yesterday, now you're giving me more Frank?
I can dig it.
>>
>>88891214
>killing your fellow soldier so you can pack drugs into his corpse

As far as fucked up notions go, this is pretty far up there.
>>
>>88904474

There was a similar villain later, in Potts War Journal.

Clancy Brown played a slightly altered version of the character in Season 2 of Daredevil.
>>
>>88890913

Why yes, I do believe this was meant to be cropped.

This is one of the best Punisher stories I've read. So many elements of what makes him great are expanded on here: his professionalism when compared to shithead criminals, his foresight, planning, and ability to maintain control of a situation, his tactical thinking, his commitment to the war, the trauma of the loss of his family, his hatred of criminals, the contrast between Frank Castle and the Punisher, and the reason why he finds value in punishing people as opposed to bringing them in, as well as a notion that at least in some cases, Frank's method works.

Fuck what a dope story.
>>
Not a punisher question but
How was the Epic Comics imprint
I've been seeing ads for them in some old iron man issues I'm reading and I'm thinking of checking them out
>>
>>88905681
Marshall Law and Stray Toasters are good.
>>
>>88905681
Most of the line (including Groo, Alien Legion, Akira, and Blueberry) is here: >>88877481 (Marshal Law and Dreadstar are both in the indie section since most of those series were not published by Marvel)

Overall, I prefer it to Vertigo. Some of the titles were pretty mediocre, but there was a bunch of interesting stuff.

Stray Toasters is a borderline classic of "experimental comics". There were some really underrated titles like Lawdog, Midnight Men, Car Warriors, Coyote, Memories, or Seven Block, among others. Captain Confederacy was among the more (in)famous titles released as part of the line. Mike Baron did some oddball minis like Feud or Spyke. Keith Giffen did one called Video Jack. Mike Allred did an early work for the imprint called The Everyman. Alan Moore considers The One to be among his favorite comics, so there's that.

They also reprinted a few Moebius titles and at one point were publishing (one of the definitive classics of indie comics) Elfquest. A few issues of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs came out under the imprint as well. There were also a few Marvel Universe books (including, most famously, Elektra Assassin and Elektra Lives Again), but only a few and it was mostly original self-contained titles.

There's just a ton of stuff, so it's really hard to cover everything. I'd recommend just reading up on the line and downloading whatever looks interesting.

>>88904282
I'll probably just put "Punisher storytime" or something at the start of the post. Will that work?
