Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

The Punisher-Black and White by Edmondson and Gerads


I haven’t reviewed a graphic novel in quite awhile.  I enjoyed this one.  The Punisher is an old testament vigilante.  Often reading and watching the news, one can understand the motivation of a vigilante.  This is the first volume in a new series.

Story line and graphics combine to provide a different experience than a straight novel.  The art work was very good, dark but that is the nature of the Punisher.  The text and art meld nicely to provide a dark, nihilistic view of the world.  Futility and anger fuel the work of the Punisher. 

There are many references to previous stories and characters and not having read and Punisher comics (prehistoric graphic novels) in a long time, I was left scratching my head on occasion.

Overall impression was positive.  Graphic novels appear to have greater depth than the comics I grew up with. 

I liked it.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
