Punisher Frank Castle Max #68
"SIX HOURS TO KILL, PART 3: HOUR GAME"
So much for Brotherly Love...Seems like everyone in Philadelphia won't be content until they're staring at the 200-pound corpse of Frank Castle. See, everybody's gunning for the Punisher tonight - a crooked Mayor, a hot blonde, a pair of dirty ex-cops, a roving gang of executioners, the Russian mob...oh, and the Philly PD and FBI, too. And if none of the above get him, the clock will - thanks to the poison racing through Castle's veins that will kill him in less than three hours.

@conor: Huh that's weird....guess Diamond didnt realise their mistake
Either way I am stoked for more of this. I might be a Punisher junkie but this has been really really good. It's a shame Swierczynski isnt staying on this for good. He's a perfect writer for the character

You might want to look again.

@conor: Then explain this

Diamond's main website and it states this isnt coming out.....again it's probably an error on the person who posted it up.

Diamond puts out two lists - one with the Mature Readrs stuff on it, and one without. That is the list withough the Mature Readers stuff, and PUNISHER MAX is listed as MR. You'll notice that list is also missing books like SCALPED and other Vertigo fare.

What a cover!

@conor: That makes sense....so I guess if younger kids (like 13-14) got on the site they would subconciously not pick up the MR stuff....But they'll still see it in the LCS anyways.
@JJ: That is a beautiful cover, do you read this? I'm sorry I have a bad memory so I dont know if you do. Have you liked this arc so far if you did?
Posted by TheNextChampion on 03/09/09 at 07:41 PM
No I don't read this. But these covers kick so much ass it's ridiculous.
Posted by JumpingJupiter on 03/10/09 at 01:55 AM
The inside contents are just as good, JJ.

Coloring for some reason has gotten my attention in the last few comics I read.
I wish I knew more about Val Staples cause his stuff in here are excellent.

TNC - He was on Criminal, and I think he did the Sleeper/Point Blank stuff. Not sure about Incognito.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 03/10/09 at 04:25 PM
@Sunnyvale: I guess that is more reasons to pick up Criminal and Sleeper huh?
Posted by TheNextChampion on 03/10/09 at 04:45 PM
I'm just not really interested in the character.
Posted by JumpingJupiter on 03/10/09 at 07:49 PM
Bah....this need more pulls!
Some really good stuff with this arc so far. Cant anyone else compare with me on how accurate Duane S. is with the City of Brotherly Love?....Or Kiladelphia as I like to call it.
Posted by TheNextChampion on 03/10/09 at 08:51 PM
Yet another soild issue for me (or a 4 if you want numbers)
Duane S. is doing a great job showing just how depressing and violent of a city Philadelphia is. Although all you need to do is watch or read the news to figure that out.
Posted by TheNextChampion on 03/11/09 at 02:19 PM
Really enjoyable issue, but I'm finding the story a bit convoluted. This is probably going to require a reread to really get it all.
Great action scenes, I must say.
Also, what exactly did Walter do to the guy that was attacking Dre? I couldn't quite figure it out.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 03/12/09 at 10:22 AM
i got this plain and simple for the cover. wow!
Posted by thefreakygeeky on 03/12/09 at 03:14 PM
@Sunnyvale Trash
You are right. Little confusing. I'll re-ead it for sure once the arc is completed.
And I think Walter tore his jaw (with the mask) off. Had too look more than twice to make it out.
Posted by Bendrix on 03/13/09 at 06:01 PM
Yeah, I was thinking tongue or jaw or something. The odd image impeded the brutality of the scene.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 03/16/09 at 04:17 PM
This is coming out? Diamond reports it isnt on their website.
Is this really confirmed conor?
