This is my first review so hang in here with me people. I know there are those that like to in good spirit rip on ol' Frank but let me tell you. This new Volume of the Punisher is making me happy I picked it up.
Issue 4 finds Frank thwarting the Hood's assassination squad and basically doing what Frank does best: p!issing people off. The Hood's shadow partner or lets face it pawn in taking down the Punisher is revealed even though long time Punisher fans probably had a little voice screaming this persons name from the beginning. If not then leave right now and stop reading if you don't want to hear what..that makes no sense...leave now if you don't want to read what I am about to type.
The Hood is so hellbent on taking out the punisher that he has brought Micro back from the dead to assist him in killing Frank. Despite all of Micro's warnings the Hood is mad all all get out that not only does Frank take out his assassination squad but that Frank's new partner also is able to evade and kill the man sent to take him out. A rather laughable villain dressed as a giant bear. Teddy Ruxpin on roids does die in a very nice explosion though. Muttering just before his death that this is just not his day.
Over all this was a solid read and there is some nice slightly twisted humor as well (did I mention the Hood sent a guy dressed as a bear to off some one) and I say give this new punisher a try.
