I am still trying to catch up on my comics reading. So far, I am about a week and a half behind. Sounds like a nice problem to have. I just need to avoid potential spoilers and comic reviews of the stuff I have yet to read. However, I did make a point of reading an issue that came out Wednesday. Punisher War Zone #1.
The Punisher series ended a couple of weeks ago, and we now have a bit of a sequel to that series and a prequel to the new Thunderbolts series. War Zone is a five-issue limited series that pits Frank Castle against The Avengers.
The feeling is that he has been operating far too long and with disastrous consequences. The latest being the death of policemen at his hands, which, of course, is not true. The Avengers feel that Punisher is one of those issues that is beneath their scope. Spider-man convinces them otherwise with backing from Captain America. And that is all I will spoil for you.
The story kind of reminds me of the Justice League storyline where Batman has contingency plans for each of his super-powered team mates if they should ever go rogue. Only this is in reverse. As a normal human, does Castle have what it takes to take down Earth's Mightiest Heroes? This should be a fun read from Greg Rucka.
Something to think about: Is Wolverine really any different than Punisher? The only difference I see is that he is sanctioned by multiple teams. So it must be alright? Why does Cap endorse or condone Wolverine, but take issue with Punisher?
Punisher War Zone #1 is available in your local comic shop or digitally on www.Comixology.com.
