"You stand at the kitchen sink, gazing out at the immense, teeming sky and the bending willows, a tea kettle softly whistling...when, like a sensory memory of youthful abandon, the Punisher comes in and stomps your ass into the tile."

Plus, you know, it's Fraction on top of his game, so it must be good. I haven't followed PWJ, but this issue was too cool not to buy.

I'm hoping we'll be seeing A LOT more of the Eternals after this (altho' I haven't read #7 yet).

Good to know, Dizzy - thanks!

P.S. Can't wait to use the term "sucks mighty moose dick" in conversation!

Kordey is a really fast artist (his art suffered on New X-Men because his deadlines were insane: ten days with also two other monthly books to worry about.), I don't know how much time he got to get it done, but in case of Secret History all seven books have already been drawn and published within a very short timespan. Over here they came out like this: 2 in September 2006, 2 in November and 3 in February (
and the same creative team also does a series called Empire and that first issue was published over here in February as well). As all the issues were oversized hard-covers at about TPB price (though with a discount if you bought 2 issues at the same time), it was a bit too much for me to buy it all at once. I've got 2 issues by now and plan to buy the rest later.

I find the book to be one of the best Marvel has ever published - I'm scared to turn the page to see what horrors the villains get up to, and can't wait for them to be killed off, and yet I'm also scared to see how they get done in, as it has to be in a way that makes you feel that they have paid for their sins.

It's just an amazing read - your never comfortable, always on edge, and both in a rush to, yet hesitating to, turn the page and see what happens next.

I personally feel that Ennis has become a true master of the art in the last few years*. Punisher MAX and War Stories have just been amazing.

* I know Preacher fans will object to that, but remember a lot of the stuff he also did at that time, and just after - The Darkness, Bloody Mary, Shadow Man, Punisher (MU) - he was a bit hit and miss, where these days, he just seems hit after hit.

Still, the final issue was probably the most entertaining comic I read this week, especially the introduction of the Dragon, which had me laughing out loud. It's a pity this series isn't getting more exposure, as it's certainly better than anything else Woo has been involved with since Face/Off.

With Bachalo, there can be way too much black space and over use of inking and too much going on in a scene to the point where sometimes I don't know who the character is. Ramos' art is at least clear, even if some of the features of characters are exaggerated; that's just part of his style. Every artist brings their own style to a book.

If it's the same Night Nurse, her name should be Linda Carter. But then, there were a couple Night Nurses, I think. And none of them were brunette. Hmm.
