i understand that max is supposed to be an adult comic, i have been reading it now for 10 issues, the jason aaron run and there seems to be nothing but explicit content like the comic says
every few panels you get a sex scene naked girls, extreme violence, no story ,perverted characters
it seems just trying tooooooooooooooo hard to be adult, it comes off as very immature, extremely unbalanced
Punisher
Character » Punisher appears in 2803 issues.
When U.S. Marine veteran Frank Castle's family's was murdered for witnessing a mob hit, the man vowed to avenge their deaths and became a one-man army in his personal war against the criminal underworld.

Punisher max only blood sex and gore

And yet when certain people complain about this,the writer(Lobdell,Winick) just come out and say"it's adult".

Ennis run is better than Aaron's run although I do like Aaron's run...so Ennis run might be more to your liking. As far as mature storytelling goes the slavers arc was one the best if not the best Punisher MAX story arc and dealt with sexual slavery. As far as perverted characters and nudity goes this is a Punisher comic and even going back to the old days of people like Mike Baron and Chuck Dixon writing the character the Punisher dealt with characters that were insane, sadistic, and disturbed. An example of this would be the original Punisher ongoing series featured Frank Castle busting up a child pornography ring and nudity and sex why not shown were always there in Punisher comics it just wasn't shown graphically like it is in the MAX series. As far as no story goes I'm really not getting how you come to this conclusion. Compared to superhero comics the series tends to have much better writing since in superhero comics the superheroes just tend to fight the same villains over and over again in each issue which to me is extreme laziness...not to mention stupid crossovers and big events which tends to ruin the flow of over comic series.

No its not. Garth Ennis series the Boys pretty much a pure black comedy parody of superhero comics. The closest Punisher equivalent would be Ennis run on the Punisher in the marvel knights series. When Ennis wrote the MAX series it had a completely different feel to the book with comic being serious and having virtually no black comedy in it whatsoever. Aaron's run is somewhere in-between Garth's MAX and Marvel Knights Punisher runs but not like the Boys.
I meant in terms of gratuitous violence and sex it's the same.@FadeToBlackBolt said:

how did i come to this conclusion, look: puisher caught, punisher goes to jail, punisher gets out of jail, punisher wants to kill fisk, fisk hiding in tower with his whores hires elektra who turns out to be a lesbian also has sex with her, plus the issues consist with manly shooting ripping killing f#$king tons of profanity with little progression
i prefer 616 also very violent but not retardly written

this pretty much confirms my theory of writers for adult/mature stories have a mindset of a 12 year old who thinks once he turns 18 he can have sex with anyone even his dog :P

The Punisher has always featured gratuitous violence though way before Garth Ennis became a major comic book writer so I don't get your point there. As far as Sex goes it is nowhere near over the top like the boys is. MAX Punisher and the Boys are quite different from each other with only a few similarities on the surface.

The MAX version of the Punisher has over a hundred issues total and has been continous with only its title's name being changed after Aaron took over writing the book. The Punisher was only shown to be in jail in the Cell one shot and the End one shot. The first time him being in jail on purpose to kill those who ordered the hit in central park that killed his family. The End is basically a one shot showing how the Punisher might die in the MAX series. Aaron hasn't been abusing "the Punisher goes to jail and breaks out" since the two times it was shown one story was essentially a what if and the other was only one issue. Now I do agree that the Punisher being in jail wasn't the greatest Punisher story ever told but it was important to his overall run on the Punisher. As far the profanity and violence goes what do you expect? It's f***ing Punisher comic your going to have that especially it being a MAX book.

You obviously haven't read Fraction's run on the Punisher, Punisher Purgatory, or FrankenCastle if you believe that.
