Maybe the Punisher just needs sensitivity training

Ok, who's excited about the new Punisher ongoing series, I know I'm buying it.... but, I mean really, I don't care for ol' Frank very much as a character. I mean of course I LOVED The Punisher when I was 15 and first saw the cover of The Punisher Warzone number #1, you know the one with the red die cut wrap around cover... drooool.... that was it for me... from that day on I was hooked on comic books. SO, frank I want to say that I owe you this passion I have, even if I don't really like you as a (fictional) person. I will of course buy everything the punisher is in, I'm locked into the tradition.

Grifter... falling?

Punisher watches
 as crocs eat a human

 I have picked up and dropped many, many titles, anyone remember Grifter from the new 52 DC reboot... ugh... and I though WildC.A.T.s was so good... maybe it wasn't I was still youngish. So why don't I like the Punisher, isn't he a sympathetic character... for crying out loud his whole family was murdered in front of him... how could a MAN not want revenge... what kind of MAN would he be if he didn't exact vengeance on everyone responsible and wage a one man war on crime!!! yeah, well... theirs that. He's a little bit of a hyper masculine trope... maybe a little... maybe. I also feel Frank doesn't fully understand the roots cause of crime, you know, things like poverty, poor community or family structure, inadequate schools/schooling/ under-education, poor economy, lack of opportunities... etc... etc... maybe he'd kill less people if he did. I probably should have reviewed the two issues of the new ongoing series of The Punisher I've read so far... Franks is in LA, you fill in the blanks.

A new beginning or just more of the same

I had originally created this blog as a class assignment, and I had every intension of leaving it to die a lonely death, one that I'm sure many... if not most blogs experience. Instead I have decided to use this space to write. See... I'm what you might call a terrible writer, so I have two major goals with this blog, one: to improve my writing skills... the more you do something the better you get... right? and two: to practice doing media critiques... by media of course I mean comic books, maybe the odd movie. Now I cannot do this alone, so I need you... yes YOU, to help me. I will as much as I can be writing  from a feminist perspective, what I ask of you is if I write something you disagree with, assuming anyone is reading this, I really, really, REALLY, want you call me out on it. I also need you to explain why you disagree. This will help me to see past my privileges and to remove "blind spots." Of course if you agree with me and think I'm brilliant feel free to rain down complements.
Thanks
