    The Long Sticks last edited by pikahyper on 05/17/18 09:34AM View full history

    The Punisher’s first ‘Nam appearance! Sergeant Frank Castle heads to Vietnam to complete a suicide mission taking down an enemy sniper.

    A Vietnamese sniper known as "The Monkey" is picking off American soldiers in the Duc Pho Province with alarming ease, making shots no average man should be able to achieve. After he takes down an American Colonel, the military decides it's time to shut him down. They select the best man for the job, ace sniper Sgt. Frank Castle, and send him into enemy territory with a squad of the best men they have to offer. Castle and his men run into trouble. The entire team except Castle is killed and Frank is taken prisoner. There he is confronted by The Monkey, who brags to him about the target of his next mission. Monkey sets off to kill Frank's mentor Captain James, and Frank seemingly hangs himself in his makeshift cell.

    I think after such a long period thinking it is the end, that this is in fact the end of what made this series so special. In lieu of the regular cast of survivors, the focus switches 180 degrees here with a look at one of Frank Castle's experiences in Vietnam. I suppose as far as the series goes there are still a couple of aspects here, namely that of camaraderie but on the whole this is much more of an issue glorifying war and missing the harrowing reality of the beginning of the series, inste...
