Comic book reading continues...
The Punisher: The End: This is the first The End comic book from Marvel I've picked up. I know there's one The End series running right now about Wolverine, and now that I think I know what the books are about (essentially, how a Marvel character finally dies), I'm tempted to go back and start picking the Wolvie books up. But in this one, it's The Punisher's turn up on the chopping block. It's sometime in the future, and all of the fears of the Cold War are realized. The bombs are dropping, and The Punisher ends up as one of the last survivors in Sing-Sing Prison. I won't say any more about the story itself, but I will say that the comic is a creepy but interesting read as Frank Castle makes his way to New York City for the last time. The price tag of $7.25 is a bit steep, but I think it's worth it for the story and the artwork, which is done in a style to suggest a decaying civilization on the verge of its own extinction. For those who can swing the $7.25 on one comic book, it's a tale worth checking out.
