Fantastic. Just bloody fantastic. Slightly repetitive, but a solid straight-up Punisher story.

This a nice story which gives us a good insight into what Frank Castle must go through at the special times of the year.

The fights are well paced and full of action.

However I feel the story suffers because it is written in the first person. The scenes with Frank thinking about his family are okay like this but the fight scenes suffer because we are only getting Frank's view of them and not the bigger picture of what is going on around him.

I'd give this short and bitter-sweet tale a B+ and I'll definitely be looking at some of the authors other takes on the Punisher.

I would buy this one shot. I think this is my favorite of yours.

Dude,
I only made it halfway through; nothing amazingly unique or original & contains a lot of stuff that I don't think the Punisher would think or do. Seems like your focus was making accurate references to weaponry, which should be more of an afterthought once you have a kickass idea for a story. And use the spellcheck button.

Good story. A little choppy, but it was definitely worth a read. The ending was a little bit of a twist, as I expected Frank to blow someone to kingdom come with his delivery, but this was better. By the way, you've heard of that bizarre Punisher/Archie crossover too, heh? Anyways, this was a pretty good story.

Anyways, as soon as I get more time on my hands, I'll check out you're other stories.

I know I didn't say I'd review this but I decided I owed you it for not reading your other fic yet, plus I don't have the time to sit down and read a chapter at the moment. Consider this an apology and a Turkey Day gift. ;)

I liked this…kick **, kick **, kick **…what's his target? His family. Touching. You're pretty good at insinuating action with emotion.

A great short story. I enjoyed the styling, and although it appears to not be to everyones taste, I felt it fitted the Punisher nicely. And I LOVED the ending like a fat boy loves ice cream. I just had to go back to the begining and read it all over again. I think the length was just right. Anymore, and the ending might have felt cheap, but for a short story it felt right.

The Punisher already killed the people that killed his family. He shouldn't be saying One for Maria. One for Lisa. One for Junior.

Cool, good story. I like the descriptions and especially the end where he talks about his family.

This is all I had time to read tonight, but it was enough to get my feet wet in your writing style.

First off, I'd like to say I loved the whole thing, but as I'm sure a bat fan like yourself knows it's very reminicent of the Bat mythos where he leaves roses at the site of his parent's deaths in Crime Alley. That aside, there's a real sense of the Punisher I know and remember so fondly from the days of yore when I used to read Marvel. For a short fic, it packed a lot of punch, and I really loved this part:

"Squeeze the trigger. The monster in my hand belches metal and fire. Hellfire and brimstone. Their engine is history. Their windshield is history. Front tires are history. Everything explodes in a cacophony of lead, glass, screams, blood and steel.

Chaos. Carnage. Music to my ears."

Awesome. You can't get more Punisher than that.

Other comments on your review list indicate that the fic was a little choppy, and I can see where they're coming from, but to me it reads like a comic script. Was that your intent? I can see this being the actual dialogue in a Punisher comic, only there's no pictures here. In future, more description would only add to the story and to immerse the reader fully in the Punisher's dark world, but as it is, I can definitely see this being a Punisher comic.

I look forward to reading more Punisher fics from you.

All the best.

May i say the ending was suprising. But, the story was way to choppy even if the Punisher does indeed calculate like a machine most peoples thoughts are not that chopped up. GIve it more work keep writing.

Hey what's up? I read this story. VERY good I must say. Had me thinking Frank was after a criminal with a bomb or something but he goes to the cemetary. Nice action short with a touching twist to it. You really got Castle down pretty well. I'd like to see you write more Punisher stories.

Great action-scene. Very vivid and detailed, and a lovelt twist at the end. ;-)

You aught to consider writing longer stories, you're really good.
