GUInterface Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 The War Zone comic is great, but the detective subplot with what's-her-face feels extremely forced and pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joakley Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 War zone is awesome i thought a marvel knights series wouldnt work as well as it used after reading the max series for so long but i was very glad to be proved wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bradstreet Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Here are a few pages from Punisher Noir by series artist Paul Azaceta. Â I think this stuff looks great. The colorist too, did a great job. Â Â Â Â Hopefully I'll be posting my cover soon in the Hot Off The Boards thread. Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relias33 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I love the vintage comic look. Obviously it takes place back then but the coloring and drawings look like they were from back in the day as well which gives it a wonderful feel of authenticity.

Tim Bradstreet Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah, andthe pacing/storytelling is real nice, very cinematic. Love Azaceta's simple, graphic, no frills style here which suits the vibe of the time period splendidly. When Axel offered me the covers he sent the first half of the book over (in black and white), and even if I was already interested in the concept, these pages sold me big time. I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Â Can't wait to read Tieri's story too, though Azaceta does such a good job all through this issue with the sequential you could follow it even without dialogue. - TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish46 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Wow, the art work reminds me of one of my favorite, Warren publishing artists, Alex Toth, I love the work, can't wait to get my hands on it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaguy1984 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 When is this Noir series coming out? Sorry if it has been posted already, but I can't see it anywhere It looks unreal (in a good way, of course)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bradstreet Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 When is this Noir series coming out? Sorry if it has been posted already, but I can't see it anywhere It looks unreal (in a good way, of course)! Â I was looking around for solicitation info as well and came up empty. I'll check with my editor and hopefully know something soon. Usually covers are done from between 3 to 5 months in advance of release so I'd think we'd be seeing the book by this summer. More certain dates upcoming. - TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AdminGuyX Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I love the garrote wire. Nice subtle touch there. Â Never expected to get a punisher story done in a style quite like this. I can't wait to see the whole book! Â Thanks for the preview Tim!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpweber Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Punisher.com just released the list of August books, including Punisher Noir #1. Check it out. Can't forget... Great job Tim, looking forward to the rest of 'em. http://www.thepunisher.com/archives.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AdminGuyX Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Got to see the original of the cover illo in person in Detroit! I had not seen it previously so I had no idea what it was for, but had a hunch. Sure enough Tim confirmed it for me that it was the cover for Noir. I have to admit, it reminds me of a mexican wrestler mask, but I like it anyway. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AdminGuyX Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 HEY, so . . . I'm surfing around on the site linked to Tim's new cover, and I see this page: Â Â What the fuck is this? Why is Frank Castle wearing ant man's helmet around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike V Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have no idea, I haven't been following the comics lately, but maybe he's using so he can make some ants kill for him. Â I also saw a new cover Noir, an it looks like the Russian is going to make an appearence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relias33 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 That's a picture of one of the inside pages on the Punisher Dark Reign series. He's in a Marvel world so his tech buddy hooked him up with an Ant Man helmet on one of his missions. It's pretty much War Journal. Disregard the helmet because this series isn't bad.

Mike V Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 He's the mind behind Scalped (which Tim has done covers for), so he's a pretty g-darn good choice to be writing The Punisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpweber Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Deffinatly check out Scalped if you have not Noeland, best damned series out there right now. He also has manged to resurect Ghost Rider and is writing the new Wolverine series. He's kind of an up-and-comer, but man is he great. I think The Other Side was his first book. It was a Vertigo mini series. Â Last year he did the Punisher Christmas special. Judging from the cover, I did not expect much, it looked too cartoon-y, but I picked it up when I saw his name attached. Neeless to say, I've been waiting for Aaron to take over MAX ever since. He'll give Ennis a run for his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padre Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just finished Long Cold Dark and Valley Forge a few weeks ago. Don't think I'll pick up anymore of the comics beyond Garth Ennis's stuff. For me he was the only writer who ever really got the character. He managed to find real depth in what should be an incredibly one dimensional character. Frank is an actual human being in the MAX series. Plus it had great characters like Yorkie, Barracuda and O'Brien. I doubt from O'Brien's intro anyone thought her arc would be one of the most tragic and well developed of the series. I love how he always managed to tie the stories together. Â Any of the other comics I've read with the character just treat him like a cartoon Rambo. Nothing wrong with that, I just prefer Garths version. Hope he come's back to it at some point in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bradstreet Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I highly recommend that you guys ('n gals) pick up Punisher: Get Castle - Not sure if it's been solicited yet. Script by Rob Williams is pretty excellent and this story which I presume to be a one-shot (it's 35 pages) is dipping into the Ennis Max world in a superb way with a continuation of the Yorkie storyline. It's got an 'Ennis' feel and definitely vibed right for me. Â Here's a look at the cover, though it isn't quite completed yet. If the Punisher image at center stage seems familiar it's because I used the figure on a cover for a French comic magazine last year. Not many folks in the US have ever seen it and I've completely switched things up with a start from scratch new environment. I'm really digging this (what I would term) 'final' vision for the figure. Â Hope you all diggit too. Â Â Â Keep an eye out for GET CASTLE, which is a loose homage to the classic Mike Hodges/Michael Caine film.
