this is my POTW. i hate to say it, but this title did suffer a bit in Checchetto’s absence. he returned kicking ass and taking names. i love this type of story. the hero “trapped” in a building surrounded by the cops and swat and he’s trying to get out without hurting them too badly. like in Batman yr1 or the first episode of TAS. it’s only impressive when the hero doesn’t possess super-powers.

i’m really impressed with what Rucka has done with the Punisher. it’s a shame his run is coming to an end soon. i love the Punisher as a character, but like Ghost Rider and Deadpool, it seems like people have a hard time putting together a good story for them. whatever. War Zone is gonna be awesome.

After cole’s huge mistake, i’m curious as to Castle’s next move. what he has to do seems clear, especially in light of next month’s cover, but ya never know. that might be too obvious.
