Review: The Punisher #5
Writer: Michael Baron Art & color: Klaus Janson Letters: Ken Bruzenak
Ministry of Death
The Punisher follows the Rev down his rabbit hole, finding out that he may have gotten more than what he bargained for. The land of Guinea is not so nice. As Frank finds a friend's loved one, he has to make quick decisions, or is his and other innocents lives on the line.
Michael Baron finished this two part story on a strong note. He does what does because it needs to be done. If it us the New York underground, to the polished, self congratulatory religious zealots who kill for their own selfish ends. Michael really makes you believe that Frank is genuinely concerned for the brainwashed gun toting followers.
Klaus Janson's art perfectly compliments Michael's script, the first panel alone is worth the price of admission. With that said, the cover is BADASS! It totally encompasses exactly what Frank is all about...business.
To tell you the truth, I may be a bit biased as The Punisher is one of my absolute favorite characters. No nonsense, you know what is coming when you read one of his issues. Michael and Klaus are the best when together and The Punisher is a perfect Avenue for this.
