The Four Color Media Monitor

Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.


Now Marvel brings back Frank Castle as the Punisher to the living world

ComicBook reports Marvel is moving away from the woke, defeatist vision social justice advocate Jason Aaron forced upon the Punisher - which saw Frank Castle causing himself to disintegrate - and bringing him back to the living world in a new miniseries that, unfortunately, is emphasizing gory violence:
Punisher is back from the dead and on a blood revenge tour in his new Marvel series. Frank Castle is back in the public eye after Jon Bernthal reprised his role as the street-level vigilante in Daredevil: Born Again. Bernthal is also starring in and writing a Punisher Special Presentation for Disney+, so there’s more Punisher on the way on the small screen. As for the comics, Marvel is bringing Frank Castle back from the dead in Punisher: Red Band, a five-issue limited series by writer Benjamin Percy and artist Julius Ohta, the current creative team on Hellverine.

Each issue of Punisher: Red Band will come polybagged for explicit content, as Marvel promises that the comic will be the most violent in Punisher history. Frank Castle will also return to his classic costume, ready to unleash his brutal brand of justice on the criminal underworld.
On the one hand, it sure is sad they'd have approved Aaron's direction in the first place, though Gerry Conway made it easy for them to go along with it. On the other hand, as though it weren't bad enough this is being done far too late to matter, they're making things worse by presenting us with an alarmingly violent vision, as though that'll make things any better. Something tells me this new take on Frank Castle will only end up making the creation look worse than need be, quite possibly as more a lunatic than a guy who's suitably helpful to innocents when needed.

As far as I'm concerned, the Punisher ended in the late 90s, and what's come since has only done a terrible disfavor, mainly because of how successive writers have held the character hostage to leftist agendas, and never relented on them.
