The Punisher, Issue #9 starts with Frank burying Ethel, the kindly old lady who helps him recover from his wounds in Issue #8. And again, the issue begins with a funeral scene to mark the death of artist, Steve Dillon. Frank says, "you're going to regret this," to Olaf, while Condor operative Face is driving away with D.E.A. agent Ortiz in a stolen ambulance. He crashes the ambulance off a cliff, crazed on EMC, and he promises to torture her the way he tortured her partner and then eat her.
This is classic The Punisher. Steve Dillon is part of the reason I picked up this title; he helped create the look it has. It hasn't changed that much in the two issues since his death. I'm really enjoying it. Becky Cloonan has helped create one of the classic versions of this character, and I'm glad that she's kept it going. I look forward to where it goes.
