Original Sin
I've finally gotten around to watching the second season of Netflix's The Punisher. It's good, but damned unpleasant. The Netflix/Marvel shows have all been solidly TV-MA, but The Punisher is just gratuitously so. I can buy into it as ... I don't know. How some writers have shown Frank and his world, I guess. He's sure as anything the protagonist, and his is, to steal from a never-released movie, a world without heroes. Jon Bernthal is a darned good Punisher, no matter what else there is to say about the show.
I've never bought an issue of a Punisher-titled comic, to the best of my knowledge. He's shown up in crossovers here and there, though, usually in an antagonistic role or as someone the title's character(s) see as an unpleasant but useful ally. I know there are good Punisher stories out there, and good writers have told them - there's a page floating around the 'Net showing Frank coming across a couple of NYPD cops who hero-worship him, and they do not get the response from him that they expect. I just haven't sought out any comics starring him.
We took the week off from Delta Green. I wasn't feeling all that well, and didn't want to just phone in things from my side of the screen. I'm hoping that one of the players will take the bait from some of the material his agent dove into during his last Home time, but if not, I have plenty of options. I'm still just pleased as punch that they went for this game. I would have been happy with questing through the various Star Trek quadrants, but finally getting to run DG's brand of horror is such a joy.
