lochtessmonster 0 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'd love to see it grayscaled or toned. I always thought the colouring on his work left something to be desired. I concur. It seemed gradient-heavy instead of feeling like it was loved and given depth. There's something about those black and whites that seems to hold a good line there.

There's something about those black and whites that seems to hold a good line there. Or sepia toned. Dillon's work is pretty gritty and un-glamorous, it could use colouring to compliment it. Not taking anything away from the colourist, but the style is really just serviceable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with this 100%... but I happen to gravitate toward midcentury gloss (almost advert style comics) or gritty. Give me some depth in any case. Even if it's just purely stylistically, I need to be able to be sucked in. This is why Tim's work rocks. Texture, depth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike V 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Frank Tieri's doing it, I like Punisher Noir and in interviews he seems to understand the character quite well. I say let them have some fun with the character every now and then in a mini-series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know, as long as it stays in it's own little mini, I'm cool with insanely dumb set ups for Punisher stories. I still love the Archie/Punisher crossover.

Guest AdminGuyX Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yes, it's the idea that I'm not terribly open to, for the same reason I didn't like Moonraker as an idea. Frank Castle, like James Bond, work best for me when they are grounded and have a tone of darkness and crime drama. Ray guns just don't fit in the hands of either character IMHO. The story itself could be interesting, I love sci-fi. I guess you guys will let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Armyghy 0 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I just learned that they are killing the Rucka Punisher series after issue 15. My heart breaks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnpweber 0 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 What? That was one of the best runs they've ever done. Especially in the 616 universe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike V 0 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Nah, it's not ending it's just getting its name changed to Punisher: War Zone. Rucka is staying on board and his storylines are going to keep continuing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Stines 0 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ruckas Punisher is okay..Frank just looks too much like Solid Snake form the Metal Gear Solid video game series in this run,It's really distracting for me.I mean you could'nt even call his look an homage too Snake it's a dead on copy..

If you look at old issues of Punisher War Journal when Jim Lee was drawing it, you can see Solid Snake right there. Every time I'd bust out that game I'd think of those issues and Lee's version of Frank. - tb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They would probably be looking for someone in their 20s to early 30s to play Snake now if that were ever to happen...start from the beginning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
relias33 0 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm falling behind on catching up with Frank these days. I gotta get the ball rolling and hit up my comic stores. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
