Strategy Guide Book Description:
A comic book adapted from a movie adapted from a comic book, The
Punisher has changed considerably in translation, and the two older
comics reprinted along with the film adaptation in this collection
show just how much. In the Punisher's first appearance, a 1974 issue
of Amazing Spider-Man, he's an ex-Marine, blinded by rage against
the criminal underworld to whose destruction he's devoted his life.
By the time of the 2000 story reprinted here (by Garth Ennis and
Steve Dillon, the team behind Preacher), it has been established
that he was Frank Castle, who began his war against criminals when
his family was killed by Mob crossfire. The point of Ennis's darkly
funny story is that he so loves avenging the innocent—as violently
as possible—that he even turned down Heaven for it. So the
forthcoming film starring Thomas Jane as the Punisher finds the
premise inverted as Castle, out for personal revenge, is only too
happy to slaughter innocents to make his enemies suffer the same
agony he did when his family died in a deliberate attack. Under the
circumstances, Milligan and artists Olliffe and Koblish do
well—their version of the complicated plot moves swiftly and
smoothly—but the story itself is a dismal betrayal of the reasons
the Punisher is popular in the first place.
