Born is a four-issue comic book limited series written by Garth Ennisillustrated by Darick Robertsonand published by Marvel Comics through the MAX imprint in Ennis announced in that he Punisher Born be writing another Punisher limited series, [2] and two years later expanded on this statement by revealing that the miniseries would be a Born prequel titled Punisher: The Platoon. The story Punisher Born told primarily through the eyes of Stevie Goodwin, a young Marine counting down the days of his service Punisher Born Frank Castle, a tough Captain with a finely honed killer instinct and survival skills who is described as being "in love with war". The story chronicles a crucial 4-day period of the platoon stationed at Firebase Valley Forge, a remote strategic outpost on the South Vietnamese - Cambodian border. Valley Forge is an outpost on its last legs; half of its Marines are addicted to heroin and its commanding officer is an apathetic alcoholic who pretends to have malaria whenever someone comes to inspect the base. Goodwin simply wishes to return home safely, and realizes that sticking close to Castle is his best option. Castle, despite being at home in the jungle, maintains Punisher Born internal dialogue with a voice that continually goads Castle into justifying his endless thirst for combat. Castle receives news that Valley Forge will be abandoned, amidst increasing Punisher Born to the war on the home front. Castle is displayed as exceptionally ruthless; first he tricks a visiting general into wandering into fire for threatening to close down the base, then he drowns a member of his platoon who raped a female Vietcong sniper. Castle himself killed the Punisher Born while she was being assaulted. Another character grimly reflects that his action was the only way Punisher Born could have Punisher Born "helped", as she would have never survived captivity. Despite the news that the Firebase will soon be closed, Castle continues leading a squad on routine patrols, Punisher Born his men are thinned by sporadic ambushes by the Vietcong. By the fourth day, the attrition has left the outpost severely undermanned and outgunned. When night falls, bringing a hellish downpour, the Viet Cong and elements of the North Vietnamese Army attack the fortification, using the rain to shield themselves from air cover. Punisher Born by one, Castle's unit drops, and he finds himself surrounded and running out of ammunition for a gun about to burn out from overuse. The voice in his head becomes louder and louder until it can be heard Punisher Born the scream of the storm and roar Punisher Born the gunshots. It offers Castle the strength and stamina needed to survive, to maintain an eternal state of vigilance, and to wage a permanent war - at a price. Castle finally gives in. By the next morning, the air support has returned with an EVAC helicopter to the destroyed encampment, but are horrified to find Castle standing alone in a field of mutilated and broken VC bodies. He has suffered severe physical trauma and is bleeding from several gunshot wounds, but remains unaffected. In the next Punisher Born, Frank Castle returns home, a decorated officer on a crutch, to his Punisher Born wife, Maria and children. In the midst of the smiling return, the internal voice speaks again of the price of Castle's choice. It is exactly what Castle's eternal war will cost him, as a picture details Castle's family in a Punisher Born reticle reminiscent of the Punisher's skull icon. The voice goes on to say that it and Castle are in the same business though it has been at it for much longer and that Castle will keep it busy which implies that the voice could be the Devil or itself. Horrified, Castle embraces his smiling wife and eager children. To me, that whole sequence was about — it's written in that classic way where maybe it's there, maybe it's all in his head. It's more a man coming Punisher Born terms with his own fate, his own destiny, and the Punisher Born he'll walk through the world. A man being honest with himself Punisher Born who he is. At home he has the wife, the kid, the other kid on the way, meanwhile he's up to his neck in horror. He likes it, and he's coming to terms with that and admitting it. Ultimately, it's his ability to embrace this that allows him to survive and come home to his wife and kids. He's made a Punisher Born of deal with the attraction to the violence in himself that will, in a way, draw his family into that world too.

Netflix's Punisher is just around the corner and as always, it's one of the rare times when I'm actually useful to Punisher Born friends as they tend to ask me for comic book recommendations during these festive times. And my answer to them is: Ain't nothing better than ! Have you seen the Vietnam war movie Platoon ? Punisher Born, you know, the one with this iconic scene. Anyways, if you have seen Platoon, you can easily associate the character Netflix's Punisher is just around the corner and as always, it's one of the rare times when I'm actually useful to my friends as they tend to ask me for comic book recommendations during these festive times. Actually, Castle is Barnes with Punisher Born little bit of sergeant Elias's compassion. For those who haven't seen the movie, Captain Frank Castle is the guy Punisher Born is effectively running the show and he is very good at it. His base is a one of the last in Vietnam and is coming for them. I've read only a couple of graphic novels where plot, Punisher Born, and art are perfectly in sync, and this is Punisher Born of those graphic novels. Garth Ennis's writing is excellent, and the story holds nothing back as it unleashes violence and Punisher Born upon the reader. It reminded me of all the classic Vietnam War movies because of the portrayal of conflicting ideologies, the gray morality, and rawness. Well, it's no news that Punisher is a violent anti-hero and I've heard complains about how his comics glorifies violence. But I think Ellis did a great job here because he gave most of the narration to a young soldier who despises this war, effectively creating an anti-war story. Overall, Punisher: Born is an excellent beginning to the Punisher story. I couldn't have asked for more! View all 3 comments.

NO ONE This is one of the best "origin" stories I have ever read and Ennis is at the top of his game. As we meet Frank Castle at Punisher Born beginning of this story, he is already a jaded, scarred veteran of the Vietnam War having seen and done things that would haunt him forever. However, he is still Fr 5. However, he is still Frank Castle; still human, still holding on to the last shreds of his humanity. The Punisher is yet to be "born. But is trying to corrupt him really an "internal voice" Garth's writing is Punisher Born as we watch the "birth" Punisher Born one of the most iconic figures in the Marvel universe. I was amazed at the ability of Ennis to take Punisher Born a well known character and create an origin story that is both completely original and yet totally Punisher Born with the nature of the Punisher Born. It truly shows the depths of his talent. I read the last three pages over about five times because I could not believe Ennis actually went there. He did!!! An amazing story. Mar 20, Lono rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. Ennis combines his love for Frank Castle, his thirst for demented Punisher Born, and his passion for military history into one terrific origin story. Born takes us back to the final days of the Viet Nam war. After surviving several previous tours in country, Captain Frank Castle finally lands in the Punisher Born Cambodian firebase in existence, Valley Forge. Castle Punisher Born starting to realize that soon he will be a Punisher Born without a war. I love the interactions between Frank, his men, and his commanding officers. Reticent, hard as nails, and one of the most lethal men on the planet. Frank lets his actions speak and never are they louder than when he is hammering away at the Viet Cong with the M Darick Robertson is a frequent collaborator with Ennis and does a great job here.

Vietnam, But as the days pass, a massive attack is brewing and Castle finds his command utterly without regard to helping him and his men while his men are utterly without regard to staying sober. Here is the Punisher born, on the bloody fields of death in Vietnam, but to what cost? And what is that persistent but strange voice calling out to Frank as the Vietcong ready a final Punisher Born Garth Ennis combines his own successful and enthralling run on The Punisher Max with his other work writing into a brilliant book on how the Punisher came to be. He and artist Darick Robertson manage to get the tone and visuals just right for a very convincing and fascinating book taking in all Punisher Born the horrors of the Vietnam war perfectly. The only thing I would say was a bit Punisher Born was the disembodied voice that goads Frank into becoming The Punisher - who is that voice, is it Frank's sub-conciousness or Death's? It added a supernatural element to the Punisher story that I found a bit stupid, and I absolutely loved Garth Ennis' reinvention of the character. Punisher Born this one aspect, Punisher Born really enjoyed the Punisher Born and can confidently recommend it to any and all fans of the Punisher as a classy book that will also appeal to fans of . Aug 27, Ill D rated it liked it Shelves: reviewedcomic-reviewscomics. Equally random, it landed on the docket again, so a second chance was granted. Imbued with the foresight and fortitude of a Roman Empire Era Centurion, our blood-lusted Frank Castle has yet to become his future alter-ego: The Punisher. As much as I became cognizant of this during the final 4th issue I found myself reading quickly and browsing the above- average sized panels in an even faster fashion. In fact the more I thought about it, the vast majority is just flip-book violence with an extra heaping Punisher Born of blood not to much guts here. If the violence is excised, a waxingly nostalgic hymn to The Republic at the beginning and a seemingly Faustian deal with an unknown at the end — shine as properly the best aspects of the comic. Where as the action just reestablishes what we know already, and most of the dialogue is more forgettable than anything, the intro and outro remain only really Punisher Born aspects here. Respectfully and eruditely, Ennis was able to write a fully believable yet fully fictious hymn of an equally fictious soldier in Vietnam. The other side has nothing to do with rosy glasses but something more Faustain, perhaps more Greek tragedy than anything. In order to sate his undying blood-lust, Frank Castle makes an invisible pact with an unseen unknown like a muse to continue his Martian ways. The Oedipus-like plot twist tied in makes for a memorable ending. Jul 25, Cheese rated it it was ok. I must be the only person that doesn't like Garth Ennis on his Punisher run.
