D:
old punisher stuff was cool
update: apparently this guy wrote like 1/4th of it and got sacked and the rest was by other dudes
in fact he wrote all the lamest parts of the comic 1:1. cool
Surprise surprise this pro-cop propaganda board just called him "Writer of the Punisher."
"What if we had a comic where the cops do even more of the shit that triggered the 2020 riots, in response to the 2020 riots."
"Self reflection" and "Police officers" are two phrases that do not belong in the same sentence
Well that’s pretty much what cops did in real life so points for believability I guess
No cop has ever looked like these two lmao.
They should be two thumb cops :thumb-cop:
No, unless someone has a better analysis. All the movies are still pro cop. He was also either a former cop or military vet in those movies.
To add to this, it seems that there's a split of opinion between the Punisher's original creator and the one who ended up writing his first comic run. When the Punisher was created by Gerry Conway as a second rate villain for Spider Man, he was essentially a tacticool version of Kraven the Hunter, but instead of wanting to hunt Spider Man for sport he wanted to kill him because he believed in killing criminals, a direct antithesis to Spider Man who has often been portrayed not just catching criminals, but following up with and trying to rehabilitate them.
Gerry Conway wanted readers to see that the Punisher was a broken and sad man who was lashing out at those around him, but of course comic fans thought he was a super badass guy with guns. Since he became popular, he eventually got his own series - but Conway was still working on Spider Man, so after a mini series written by Steven Grant the ongoing series was started with Mike Baron as the writer.
Baron is the one responsible for permanently cementing the character in the Marvel canon as being a good guy instead of a bad guy who occasionally teams up with the main characters (and the one responsible for the comic abomination in the OP). It's worth noting that this happened in 1985, while the War on Drugs was at its fever pitch (take a look at this handy graph!), and so the idea of a reactionary superhero really embodied what a certain cohort of comic readers wanted to see - a cop who wasn't held back by red tape or ethics.
Mike Barron hasn't worked with the Punisher since the 1990's.
Current Punisher would probably kill the cops.
US$ 35,687
pledged of US$ 500 goal
Wow what a massive success
people who want to fuck the :bunny-cop: , but are too ashamed to make a fursona.
Fascist comic incoming
It would probably be more efficient to highlight non-fash comics incoming.
I'll start: East of West because it has a balkanized America with Communist Chinese control of California and Native Americans hold their own in high-tech cities. Saga because its premise is multi-ethnic love and it has a cool trans character. Bee and Puppycat because it emphasizes that working for the man sucks and having a nice snack is more important and it's okay if your friend is cantankerous so long as he's cute.
comic book that makes cops the heroes
lol capitalism truly does breed innovation
Thank god it’s just impossible to find copaganda these days
"What if we had two cop heroes who have less guns than actual cops do."
