    Please Rucka, launche New York Central.

    Review for The Punisher #4.

    The Story: Norah talks to Urich. We get more Clemons and Bolt and Frank patches himself up.

    The Good: In previous issue's we see just how much Frank is a drive man on his mission of revenge. Even if he's a messy bluddy mess, he will patch himself with bandages and a piece of 2x4 and then goes to kill some mafia people who were "asking" for protection money. Still loving the Gotham Central vibe from the series with Norah and Urich talking about should you should tell story and does it help you or the public. We also see that Clemons is a man that doesn't see Frank as a hero and he will arrest him depending what his involvement in the case is. Checchetto art continues to be dark and shows off he can do facial expressions because Frank just seems so commanding.

    The Bad: Still waiting for Marvel to annouce "New York Central". You have Brubaker, you have Rucka and I don't know what Lark is doing right now but get him.

    The Verdict: This issue doesn't really continue the story but focuses on the characters up till this point. This is a buy.

    I don't know if Bru can commit to teaming with Rucka again.

      The GoodWe see Mr. Rucka giving this Punisher series an actual consistent story with each issue building off the last. Mr. Rucka is showing good clean writing taking us the readers on a journey that is clear and precise without wandering off the beaten path like so many other comics out there. The world building is continuing which I find utterly fantastic since its not like Fraction and Remender's run where it was just the Punisher killing then and going on to some other mission. What we are ge...

      I guess I'm in the minority in thinking that Rucka's Punisher is a massive bore.On paper, this was an amazing idea-- Rucka working on the Punisher, and more importantly, taking the character seriously without worrying about any exposition seemed like it should have made for an excellent book. Instead all we get is this dull comic series with barely any Punisher to speak of.The idea of having a quiet Punisher seemed interesting, but what we're left with are completely uninteresting characters who...
