The Punisher, Issue #8 is the first issue without artist, Steve Dillon. The issue opens up with Frank Castle facing an old woman wielding a shotgun, but she lets him in, tends his wounds, and lets him spend the night, but Condor is quick on his tail. It isn't long before the two of them are riding off on the old woman's Harley-Davidson with a sidecar, and it isn't long before the two have subdued the three Condor agents and "we'll do a hell of a lot more than waterboarding'ed" the location of the Condor headquarters out of them.
This is an excellent issue and true to the memory of Steve Dillon, it being reminiscent of both Dillon's earlier The Punisher work and Preacher. I've been reading a lot of the Punisher Complete Collection; I'm on the second book. I also read the Doctor Strange/The Punisher team up comic that just started late last year. I'm a fan, and part of what made me a fan was this version of the comic, with Becky Cloonan as the writer. I didn't know of Laura Braga and Iolanda Zanfardino before reading this comic, but I'll be sure to look out for them. Good stuff.
