    The Long Sticks, Part 2 last edited by ghostgrifter on 05/05/20 11:33AM View full history

    After escaping the men holding him captive, Frank Castle competes with the Monkey in a sniping contest.

    Part two of the two-part story begins with prison of war Sgt. Frank Castle found by a Vietnamese solider, hanging in his cell. The soldier enters the cell and Frank springs into action. Castle had faked his hanging by running a length of cloth from his belt to the noose to support his weight. Castle leaves a trail of dead Vietnamese soldiers in his wake as he escapes and sets out to intercept the sniper known as "The Monkey". A group of soldiers find another vietnamese soldier's body tied to a tree with the calling card white skull painted on his carcass and begin to fear the crazy American soldier. Castle leaves a trail of death and destruction everywhere he goes until he finally reaches The Monkey. The Monkey believes he has gotten the drop on Castle, but it was a set-up by Frank, who takes out the MOnkey with a "million-to-one shot".

    This issue has maybe the same problems as the previous issue, only highlighted all the more by the presence of some more superheroics. Of course they aren't really superheroics, but after being captured at the end of the previous issue Frank simply proceeds to escape from where he is being detained and more so to make it into an action sequence. By comparison earlier in the series the character would have been first shot and killed outside, and then if her were not killed he likely would have sn...
