I really didn't like G-Force. I like Baron and Haynes, but I thought Punisher was kind of a chump- he screwed up in the beginning trying to take that one thug down, saved by a fluke. Gets caught sneaking around and his body armor is lit up. He didn't come across that badass. I know that Baron probably is one of the more real world Punisher writers and probably less portrayed Frank as an unstoppable badass as others. Issue 44 (The flag burning one) is another one where Frank is pretty much failing to take down some small time thugs without help. Baron has written some great Punisher stories- and has given Frank some great twisted tragic character from time to time. I did love the shopping center one-shot. Dixon is my favorite Punisher writer. Eurohit- It took me awhile to warm up to Abnett and Lanning. But they won me over, I liked a little bit of the Batroc and Tarantula showing up to add some Marvel flair. I later followed Abnett's writting to his Warhammer 40K books because I recognized him from writing Punisher. The other graphic novels at the end were fine. The Voodoo and Black Widow ones.
