Read the MAX books and then Welcome Back Frank! you can tell the difference in Ennis’ writing. It is much darker and just didn’t seem to fit Dillon’s art. Aaron’s writing is very dark too and hopefully it will all go smoothly and work nicely. From what I have seen of the interiors so far. Go to this site and watch the video http://haveanerdgasm.com/?p=328 to see some interiors. Dillon has changed his style just a little bit to the way he is drawing Frank’s face in the shadow and what not.

If you read any of the MAX series you would understand what a lot of people are saying of how they fill Dillon’s art might just not fit. Dillon is a great artist and a great guy. And I really hope this works for him.

I started reading the Punisher because of Steve Dillon and I stopped when he did. Sign me back up! I don’t care what universe it takes place in, sounds like some good mature comics coming our way!

The X-Mas special Aaron wrote was absolutely brilliant.

I’m a fan of Dillon’s but Parlov is one of my favourite artists and that’s what had me picking it up monthly; i just couldn’t wait to see his brilliant new pages. Now i reckon I’ll hold out for the trade paperback. I’m sure it’ll be great.

what the hell is wrong with you people? Steve dillon’s art is great, and it works well with the punisher. (See Welcome Back Frank, great book by the way)

I’ve actually been enjoying the title since Ennis left, which I didn’t think I would. So I’m not super jazzed about the change, but I’m not hating on it either.

@Trey:

Not bloody likely. Steve Dillon drew and inked the entire run of PREACHER # 1-66 (including 2 one-shots tie-in, and a Hellblazer special) without taking a break. So he can draw lengthy runs.

Maybe the occasional fill-in or between story-arcs.

Yes there is official a MAX-Verse, it has been confirmed by multiply writers and artist. The 616 Frank Castle is different than the MAX Frank Castle.

It isn’t a new series, it is the same damn series just relaunched back at #1 for some strategic matter that Quesada knows of and isn’t sharing with anyone else. Besides the fact that #1′s always sell well, so maybe after each #1 they will begin to relaunch all titles so all we have are #1′s.

I kind of fell away after The Punisher got his Code-Approved title back, but is there officially a “MAX-Verse?”

And does this seriously warrant another new series?

It’s a continuation of Ennis’s MAX-verse from what I understand. And, damn, it’s going to be a comic I’m looking forward to!

While Dillon is a fine artist, he’s not to my taste. His art doesn’t excite me. I hope they get Goran Parlov to help out when needed.

…I was saying “Boo-urns!”

the first story arc…rise of Fisk…and the role Frank Castle plays in his ascent

Eeuooouurrrreerrrrr…that sounds a bit….thhhhhhhh….

I wanna see it, but I’m gonna be reading it with some trepidation. Part of the brilliance of Punisher-Max is the moratorium on supervillains. I suspect – I hope – that Fisk and Bullseye will be given the same close crop – Bullseye, especially. I loved Dillon’s Bullseye comic with Daniel Way, but if that costume shows up…

Glad Frank’s not going away, though.

Awesome. Aaron is a freaking huge talent and I loved Ennis’ run on MAX. This will be good!

Are you saying “boo” or “Boo-urns”?

By: Kevin

Kevin — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:10:50 +0000

Adam has a good point.

Boo, indeed.

So this officially means that everything Jason Aaron writes for Marvel is $3.99.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Interesting. One has to wonder if this is a continuation of the MAX-verse (or whatever) that Ennis created or a reboot of sorts…
