I always felt more of a connection to the Punisher than any other comic character. No messy morality.. no remorse.. no questioning himself, no consequences, no super powers. Just pure, utter vengeance born out of a frustration of all the evil in the world. Hard for some people to understand.. but if you see enough bad things it's hard not to sympathize with an anti-hero like this.
17:56 The Garth Ennis Punisher material remains hands down the best Punisher material ever published. His approach, dark yet morbidly humorous, perfectly captures the sentiment of the Punisher and the world he lives in as well as its other occupants.
Man if you love Garth Ennis run please please read the Jason Aaron's run, is the end of Ennis story and is so depressing and sad that hurts, one of the most powerful graphic novels that ive ever read.
@@iliveinsideyourhouse1367 well I see your point but swearing kinda goes along with his character. If there was a real life person that has lived the life Frank did and seen and lost what he has it makes sense to me, but that's just my opinion
I freaking love The Punisher and subsequently this video. But in all fairness I have been loving this series prior to the making of this video. I love how these videos lay out every little thing you need to know. I can't say it enough; I love it. Keep this series going! As always, great work @Rob!
I'm really hoping that they depict the punisher like this in the new season of daredevil. From what I understand, he's a big antagonist to DD (just like in the comics) so I hope that they form the punisher that we want to see over this arc. Let's just hope an actual punisher series comes out of it.
One of the best fights has been daredevil vs punisher, in one fight they had beat each other up so bad that when the cops showed up frank says- the only reason you are even able to arrest me is because i cant move my arms....epic.
Rick Jones. Everyones favorite and often dead sidekick. He doesn't get nearly the love he deserves once you look and realize the heroes he's hung around with and helped.
Out of left field, how about a video about Phil Coulson. You could expand it a bit by talking about how the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had an effect on the Comics Universe(s), and what other new characters were created for Movies and Television and brought into Comics continuity.
This was a blast from the past. My dad collected those Spider-Man comics back in the day, and I remember sitting down and reading entire arcs in the basement. Some of the best stories of comic books are within Gerry Conway's run.
Punisher been killed so many times, well not so many times. maybe at least 3 perhaps? one was suicide, then brought back to life by a celestial being and then sent back to earth, being dismembered by Wolverines bastard son, then brought back to life as Franken-castle and then his body was restored by a bloodstone, died from his wounds in the 2014 comic and later brought back to life at some point by a mysterious figure. Look's like castle is one tough SOB to put down...
If you think about it, Kratos and Frank have a lot of similarities but the clear difference is Frank isn’t a demigod later turned full god, who sought to kill the God of War, Ares for tricking Kratos into killing his family and becoming hellbent on destroying Olympus because the gods being the asshoels as they are, didn’t help Kratos after 20+ years of service and killed off major gods, goddesses, Titans and monsters ultimately destroying Olympus
1:02 i love how non-chalant rob says "...its revealed Norman Osborn wasn't dead, he was simply regenerating..." Lmfaoo of course! Hes regenerating!! Why didn't i think of this sooner?! Wtf lol i love comics 😂😂
Punisher has to be the biggest hardcore bad ass in comics u c its characters like this I like Hawkeye nick fury black widow Bucky crossbones deadpool warmachine basically all of shield the bad ass characters dc has a lot too and I think frank is the biggest bad ass of all
i have enjoyed nathan edmondson's run on punisher and look forward to seeing punisher's return. as for marvel monday, i would love to hear you talk about Red Wolf, the native american indian that recently made his apperrance in both 1872 secret wars tie in as well as the all new all different marvel title Red Wolf written by Nathan Edmondson as of now.
There's a lot of information thT was missed out. But good video overall. You should have included how his symbol is used in the military and is one if the best selling pieces of art in marvel comics.
Could you possibly do a video on either the Runaways, Cloak and Dagger, or the Squadron Supreme? I know each one of these are longshots, but they are my favorite teams, though two of them were presumably axed in the ANAD Marver run.
Still waiting on Legion Explained, Rob... As for Castle, it is such a shame Rucka's run didn't continue for longer. It was one of the best Marvel series of the past five years.
Great vid. here are my choices for next Marvel videos: Silk, Kitty Pryde, Doctor Strange, Groot and Rocket Rackoon, Spider-Woman (you probably have videos on some of these already, I haven't searched your whole back catalogue)
my favourite comics hero, who there is bandwaggon of superman, batman, hulk and spiderman fans, i always had my fav. Devastating person, brings justice and ppl who deserve it dies, also loved tactical genius of Frank , he is so smart, all his military and spec ops backgrounds lets him kill enemies with various explosions, long range weapons, or just smartly lead them to traps and other stuff. Not to mention awesome appearance , never give up attitude, devastating punishment without feelings that many other stupid heroes like batman and sups who cause tons of good ppl to die cause they just cant kill assholes :| Truly an epic chatacter, idol.
With the renewed daredevil, i hope spiderman becomes an elusive thing, like finding his remenants, criminals strung up without revealing him as the web slinger.
+Comics Explained hello Rob I really enjoy your channel. It doesn't have to be next marvel Monday but at least one of them please, SABRETOOTH. With that being said I'll bring this comment to a close.
The Punisher is basically Marvel comic's version of Mack Bolan the Executioner created in 1969 by Don Pendleton, with a few core differences, one being that Bolan would never kill a law enforcement official, even one that was obviously bad; everyone else who was dirty was fair game though.
yes I loved DH although DH1 still holds dear to my heart I thought we were going to be treated to some easter eggs when aim came to surface in the marvel movies.
I would actually like for you to a video on the new Ultimates.... you know Captain Marvel, Blue Marvel, Ms. America Chavez, Black Panther, and Spectrum
Rob, this might be something right out of left field but I actually challenge you to do a video on how you believe the Dr Strange movie should be written or your guess where the two final infinity stones will show up before Infinity War comes out. Just for fun. With Dr Strange, we already know that he exists and groups like SHIELD/Hydra are monitoring him. So how would you write the movie of Dr Strange or where would you place the two final stones based on your experience with the two as a reader.
I wish you would have talked a little bit about how some demon or death type supernatural entity has empowered Punisher it sort of is canon. But still, it was a great video.
i know you've done a few videos discussing the inhumans, you've only ever briefly touched on the king of the inhumans. I, and many other inhuman fans, would love if you chose Black Bolt.

Loved The Punisher, from day one. An anti-hero, who gives the bad guys just what they deserve. A one man judge, jury, and executioner.
You should read 2000ad
Judge dread specifically
I was thinking that
I couldn’t agree more
@@zimmcan8859 Have you heard of a Punisher "on the road" series released in the 90s?
He's just a murderer
Punisher to has always been a mix of Charles Bronson Death wish , Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry, and Rambo.
+LarryBonson So true
+LarryBonson Thats a perfect way of describing Mr.Castle
he's not as crazy as bronson
+LarryBonson: He was based on Mack Bolan / The Excutioner novel series by Don Pendleton
+shane mac But he merciless like Bronson crazy like John Rambo

You should use that energy to save black lives
@@nicholasgeere5125 It would be easier if they stop killing themself in gang wars and riots
@@nicholasgeere5125 No, save every life .Stop shoving your political beliefs in front of your morality.
@@rogerreyne1877 I think the fool is trying to troll on a video that has nothing to do with "saving black lives".
Spot on
17:56 The Garth Ennis Punisher material remains hands down the best Punisher material ever published. His approach, dark yet morbidly humorous, perfectly captures the sentiment of the Punisher and the world he lives in as well as its other occupants.
Garth Ennis's run on The Punisher Max was so good it hurts.
Man if you love Garth Ennis run please please read the Jason Aaron's run, is the end of Ennis story and is so depressing and sad that hurts, one of the most powerful graphic novels that ive ever read.
The dialogue can be bad at times in his Punisher MAX run though
@@Silenthunter287
Yea especially when there a hell lots of unnecassary swearings.
@@iliveinsideyourhouse1367 well I see your point but swearing kinda goes along with his character. If there was a real life person that has lived the life Frank did and seen and lost what he has it makes sense to me, but that's just my opinion
@@Silenthunter287 It can be bad but more often then not it's incredible and dark and really sets the mood for the ugly little world he lives in
Jon Bernthal as Punisher....cannot wait
Haohmaru Of The Wind it better be a long series
Ebonheart 13 agree.
Johnny Fountains how? 😂😂
So sad that Disney forced them to cancel the Marvel shows.
I freaking love The Punisher and subsequently this video. But in all fairness I have been loving this series prior to the making of this video. I love how these videos lay out every little thing you need to know. I can't say it enough; I love it. Keep this series going! As always, great work @Rob!
You have no idea how long I've waited for this episode. Thank you Rob, you truly are the professor of comics.
I'm really hoping that they depict the punisher like this in the new season of daredevil. From what I understand, he's a big antagonist to DD (just like in the comics) so I hope that they form the punisher that we want to see over this arc. Let's just hope an actual punisher series comes out of it.

Love these videos man. You're doing great work.
This is really good content. I honestly prefer the calm voice and subtle jazz music in the background.
Rick Jones. Everyones favorite and often dead sidekick. He doesn't get nearly the love he deserves once you look and realize the heroes he's hung around with and helped.
some of the best videos. bring back Marvel Request Monday
Thank you for your channel. I'm new to comics and find your videos extremely helpful.
Taskmaster.
+Jason Diend you are right
two points. U.S. Agent or more anti-heroes like Punisher would be sweet too.
I want Taskmaster too.
Out of left field, how about a video about Phil Coulson. You could expand it a bit by talking about how the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had an effect on the Comics Universe(s), and what other new characters were created for Movies and Television and brought into Comics continuity.

Nice job. Every video always a good job. Thanks for the upload.
Would definitely appreciate a Sabertooth or Nightcrawler video, thanks. Love the channel bro. Please keep up the awesome work.
This is a nice video to wake up to :)

Another great video Rob, keep it up!
Punisher is my favorite marvel hero. Superman, batman then punisher. I'm so happy we are getting a punisher tv show
If you think about it, Kratos and Frank have a lot of similarities but the clear difference is Frank isn’t a demigod later turned full god, who sought to kill the God of War, Ares for tricking Kratos into killing his family and becoming hellbent on destroying Olympus because the gods being the asshoels as they are, didn’t help Kratos after 20+ years of service and killed off major gods, goddesses, Titans and monsters ultimately destroying Olympus
I love this character. Also I like this type of story telling you did.
1:02 i love how non-chalant rob says "...its revealed Norman Osborn wasn't dead, he was simply regenerating..." Lmfaoo of course! Hes regenerating!! Why didn't i think of this sooner?! Wtf lol i love comics 😂😂
Punisher: >kills criminals.
>tries to kill Spiderman because he thinks he killed a criminal.
this was very unexpected but extremely appreciated
Great vid man, i kinda like this long videos that are very informative
Cheers!
My request has been answered! Thank you, Rob! :D
Thanks for this kick ass upload!!!
Punisher has to be the biggest hardcore bad ass in comics u c its characters like this I like Hawkeye nick fury black widow Bucky crossbones deadpool warmachine basically all of shield the bad ass characters dc has a lot too and I think frank is the biggest bad ass of all
I am
I'm late to reply but same bro. Those type of characters have always been so interesting to me . Something about them and their lives draws me in
Happy holidays, mr comics-excelsior!

The Punisher is criminally under used by Marvel, hopefully after the amazing reception of DareDevil season 2 he finally gets a consistent series.
There's a lot of information thT was missed out. But good video overall. You should have included how his symbol is used in the military and is one if the best selling pieces of art in marvel comics.
Could you possibly do a video on either the Runaways, Cloak and Dagger, or the Squadron Supreme? I know each one of these are longshots, but they are my favorite teams, though two of them were presumably axed in the ANAD Marver run.
Hoping they capture the essence of the Punisher in the second Daredevil season, would love to see him pop up in the main MCU.
Great video! Thanks my favorite comic character, I even got the skull tattooed on my body
While Frank Miller was the one who gave Batman his balls back when he created Batman Year One. Garth would be this to Punisher: Welcome Back Frank
Please explain punisher max 2, and 3. The barracuda story line is awesome. Some of my favorites all time.
Love Punisher and Franken-Castle was fucken awesome!
Marvel Request Monday - Please do Taskmaster next!!! XD - there's a retcon issue between his two self titled mini's that I still can't get over XD
Still waiting on Legion Explained, Rob...
As for Castle, it is such a shame Rucka's run didn't continue for longer. It was one of the best Marvel series of the past five years.
Punisher volume 10 issue #1 and Daedevil/Punisher crossover coming out this May. It's a good time to be a fan.
This was brilliant.
that make ssooo much sense now. I always thought that Constantine and punisher persona and dark and grim stories were similar.
Great video, thanks.
What's the music though?
Love the video and music
Love your stuff man, can we get a Nightcrawler or Shadowcat Explained?
Great vid. here are my choices for next Marvel videos: Silk, Kitty Pryde, Doctor Strange, Groot and Rocket Rackoon, Spider-Woman (you probably have videos on some of these already, I haven't searched your whole back catalogue)

A video on SabreTooth would be awesome!
7:07 The Hank Pym Special.
With the renewed daredevil, i hope spiderman becomes an elusive thing, like finding his remenants, criminals strung up without revealing him as the web slinger.
Reason I am here is cause There's a Punisher Dodge Challenger that looks real cool that's being raffled off. Also GTA V Intro music in the intro :9
A Spider-Man x punisher movie with Jon bernthal and Tom Holland would be sick
Marvel Monday idea:Daken explained or Kaine parker
+Vicente Oneill Kaine!!
Kane
I would love to see Daken
+RicoSystem
Daken
kaine
How come no mention of Doctor Punisher, Soldier Supreme?
For future episodes, an explanation of Silk (Cindy Moon) would be nice or one on Sam Wilson.
You trolled so hard on periscope last night !
Please rob explain iron fist
+darkskinned punisher That is a great suggestion! I second it!
Could you please do a video explaining Norman and/or Harry Osborn?
1:01 see that's the reason the very 1st Spiderman film was so good.. god bless Sam raimi ..
DemiGod Scrub that blew my mind! The accuracy to the comics!
I would like to see a video on blackcat or ice man how they got they're powers
+Comics Explained hello Rob I really enjoy your channel. It doesn't have to be next marvel Monday but at least one of them please, SABRETOOTH. With that being said I'll bring this comment to a close.
so ive been looking and i was wondering about a sabretooth series possibly the Open Season arch is that possible because i for one would love it

next week would be cool to see Kang the Conquerer see that black bolts son shows him self to be the new kang in uncanny inhumans
Thx rob
I'd like to see Darkhawk at some point. I think he's been underused and underappreciated. It's like Marvel doesn't know what to do with him.
we need an in-depth look at black bolt
In depth on deaths head 1 and 2 would be fun :)
yes I loved DH although DH1 still holds dear to my heart I thought we were going to be treated to some easter eggs when aim came to surface in the marvel movies.
I wanna see Dazzler. I always loved using her in Xmen arcade game and I know almost nothing about her.
Love the GTA V OST playing in the background.
The opening goblin vs peter parker fight seems familiar
It was one mob and it was a gangland execution.
you should definitely do a Venom video
I just found an issue of "What if...The Punisher had killed Spiderman" in great condition. Great story! :-)
I'd like to see a video on Drax the destroyer, cause it's not clear to me on how he was created, and retcond
Iron Fist and ghost rider would be nice I feel no one really has ever done on the flaming skull motorcycle manic
Elektra and the Hand
SpeedBall would be nice
dang, man, I hope you become a teacher or something, you're clear on precise on everything!
I'd like to see Moon Knight explained, I've never seen much of his comics so it would be cool!
I would actually like for you to a video on the new Ultimates.... you know Captain Marvel, Blue Marvel, Ms. America Chavez, Black Panther, and Spectrum
He is In a infinite comics mini series with-- you guessed it--- DAREDEVIL
Let's get a video about Star-Lord! Perfect time since he has a new series that's just launched. Please, and thank-you! :)

can't wait for daredevil season 2 to see the punisher
can you do a Cloak and Dagger video next week?
I would really like to see something on Fin Fang Foom if you get the chance
can you do a video about the martin man hunter
What's the last instrumental playing at the end of this video?
i know you've done a few videos discussing the inhumans, you've only ever briefly touched on the king of the inhumans. I, and many other inhuman fans, would love if you chose Black Bolt.
Werewolf by Night or Man-Thing would be interesting to see!
We got both
For next week's Marvel Request Monday, could you do a discussion on the Black Knight?
They already said there is a punisher comics coming in 2016 for some time now
