so, this is essentially a reboot. i mean, over in the other Punisher series, he's been reborn as Frankenstein. here, we have him harkening back to his mob-killing days, slightly after the Garth Ennis run. i'm just a little confused to have Barracuda referenced here, then the key point of putting in Wilson Fisk as an ambitious enforcer, presumably preceding his ascent to eventual Kingpin status (it is, because that's his wife Vanessa and his son Richard - the future Rose). i guess am just used to have the Frank's timeline in my head. Steve Dillon returns for another go-round, and it remains to be seen if his team up with Jason Aaron, no mean SOB himself, will scale the heights he did with Ennis.
