Damage Control (Series 2) #2 of 4


Damage Control (1989-1990) #2
The new CEO of Damage Control, Robin, is in the Punisher’s sights after she goes to the office of the Kingpin. Robin has gone to meet with the villain to announce that his stranglehold on the company will not have a bearing on the repairs to New York City in the aftermath of the Acts of Vengeance storyline. Frank Castle can’t hear what they are saying but in his warped mind, any dealing with a known super villain makes you a villain as well.
I like that the Punisher finally gets a taste of his own medicine in Robin. She’s a take no prisoners (or crap from anyone) type of gal. So, when Castle points a loaded machine gun at her noggin, she brushes it away not out of fear for her life, but that he might ruin her furniture. It’s a very clever take on an anti-hero that I think has been given way too much credit. Bravo Dwayne McDuffie for not kowtowing to Marvel and making the Punisher the comic foil instead of the over bloated-ego hero for once.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
