Who did the art for this, btw?
Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Tom Morgan. His name is listed on the second picture inside the body of the post (but the text is kind of small).
🤦🏻♂️Oh yeah! I didn’t notice. WOW, though. Here’s a weird one for you:
Morgan drew Jeff Mariotte's biography of Barack Obama, which was released in late 2008 by IDW Publishing.
🤣
These 90’s built-like-a-refrigerator comic hardmen used to impress the hell out of me as a kid. I used to wish I could draw like this… now I look at it and my whole brain just will not read it as anything but deformed.
Funny how styles and tastes shift about.
I've still got a soft spot for the style.
Except there’s a level of irony or self awareness to that image that bumps its appeal way, way up :)
It might be the self-seriousness of Punisher here that makes it a little goofy today.
A lot of the 2099 stuff was severely under-rated. Punisher was not. :)
My favorite was just before the end, X-Nation 2099. X-Men adjacent team. Humberto Ramos and Jimmy Palmiotti.
They had a solid 2, maybe 3 issues? Then editorial brought the word down to kill all the 2099 books, they changed creative teams, and Ben Raab fucking murdered the book. #6 was the end.
The only 2099 story I could really deal with was the Hulk stuff.. Maybe a little bit of Spider-Man. I couldn't even look at punisher without laughing
I wonder if Marvel will put The Punisher in the MCU soon…that would be new.
The Punisher is in the MCU. Netflix series are MCU. It would be interesting to see the Jon Bernthal Punisher on the big screen, most suitably alongside Deadpool or in some kind of SHIELD related plot.
