PUNISHER STORYTIME
All this year I'll be storytiming Punisher comics, with most of the focus being on material from the pre-Ennis era, but with a few Ennis era stories at some point and maybe some post-Ennis era stuff eventually. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.
The early years of The Punisher's solo ongoings are more or less separated into two eras: The Mike Baron era, and the Chuck Dixon era, the former of which covers most of the material through 1991, and the latter of which cover the majority of what was published from 1992-1995 (approximately). We've already gotten through the Mike Baron run on The Punisher (aside from 3 or 4 minis and one-shots that he did later after his "main" run). The Chuck Dixon run though was mostly relegated to the spin-off books (War Journal and War Zone) and it was actually Abnett & Lanning that followed Baron on the main book (which we'll be reading next week).
But Dixon's first work on the character, a "graphic novel" called "Kingdom Gone" (which we read last week), happened well before any of that. And in between that and becoming the "head writer" on any of The Punisher titles, Dixon had been Mike Baron's fill-in writer on The Punisher.
We've already read two of his fill-in issues (#45 and #49), but there was also a third (probably less famous) fill-in issue that fell exactly between the end of Mike Baron's run and the start of the Abnett & Lanning run.
Today we'll be reading this lone fill-in issue. And yes, just the one issue this week. I've been busy this week, so I really haven't had time for anything more.
Anyway, it's a pretty cool issue, so let's just get right into it.

>getting chewed the fuck out over black Punisher
To the surprise of no one.
I like how that guy even compares the retardation of The Final Days of The Punisher's ending to the retardation of Jigsaw Puzzle's ending. Both BAD fucking ideas that never should have been allowed to happen.

Next week I may try to post the entire (original) Abnett & Lanning run over the course of the week. I'll probably post Eurohit in one thread and then the rest in another. It just depends on how much time I have. We'll almost definitely read at least Eurohit though.

How do you feel about the Ennis stuff?
>>
>>93763590
It's mostly awesome. Welcome Back, Frank is my favorite, followed by the MAX stuff, and then probably the Painkiller Jane crossover. Most of the Marvel Knights ongoing in between is mediocre and a few arcs were outright weak, though I did enjoy some issues of it.

It's crunchy, right? Right??

Dude with the gun in the bottom left is one of the crooks.

>>93766394
Let's all hope so.

>>93759195
I think Dixon was actually the best writer for single-issue Punisher stories. Even better than Ennis (who's material seemed to follow the general rule of "the longer, the better").
