PUNISHING SEQUEL

Okay, so I’m going to go ahead as well as state that Jon Bernthal is most likely the very best actor ever cast to play the Punisher. He handled to bring the comic book version of Frank Castle to life, which is no simple task. Granted, provided a few of the quite poor films as well as miscast actors who have taken up the function in the past, that’s not stating a whole lot. however Bernthal’s exceptional performance in Daredevil season 2 as well as the very first season of the Punisher last year is the primary reason I’m looking ahead to the swiftly approaching second season of the Netflix Marvel’s Punisher series (available January 19).

Unfortunately, considering that Bernthal was so great that likewise makes everything the sadder that this will most likely be his last trip as Frank Castle.

In situation you haven’t heard, or don’t enjoy marvel Netflix Series, the marvel programs currently on Netflix are being unceremoniously cancelled. when it occurred to Daredevil, none of the other shows stood a chance, however the cancellations had nothing to make with high quality or scores (see here).

So, provided the truth that we understand Netflix is not supporting these shows anymore, will the present season have any type of impact on Punisher comics?

Well, television portrayals of comic characters have always had less weight than major motion picture appearances, however they do have a little impact on prices.

As regards the Punisher/Frank Castle – his very first appearance in remarkable Spider-man #129 (February 1974), is virtually immune to any type of poor motion pictures or cancelled TV shows. It’s a prominent crucial book in the run of the most prominent super-hero in the world. currently worth over $13, 000.00 in 9.8 licensed condition as well as with strong positive returns in all grades, great or poor the Punisher series will have bit impact on this baby.

The Punisher #1 (January 1986) – very first Punisher in solo title

So the books to enjoy relating to Punisher comic activity are most likely the standalone Punisher comics, of which the 1986 very first problem of his solo restricted run title is the a lot more useful (the 1987 very first problem of the longer running series has likewise been slowly getting in value). Punisher #1 with a script by Steven grant as well as pencils by Mike Zeck is currently worth $400.00 in 9.8 licensed grade. A fraction of what Spider-man #129 costs, however not poor for a Copper Age book. The last three eBay sales of 9.8 graded copies went for: $429.99 (12/28/2018), $475.00 (12/28/2018) as well as $380.00 (12/29/2018). currently returns on 9.8’s are somewhat positive at 4% after 159 sales considering that 2008. problem #4, the very first appearance of Microchip from the 1987 second Punisher series is likewise worth seeking out considering that we understand that character will likewise be coming back.

Amazing Spider-man #162 – very first appearance of Jigsaw

Where things get fascinating is with the rest of the supporting cast of characters. For example, Ben Barnes will be back to reprise his function as Billy Russo aka Jigsaw. Russo’s betrayal of Castle as well as the confrontation as well as fight between the two at the end of season One was a highlight of the series. Jigsaw’s very first appearance can be discovered in Spider-man #162. With 772 copies on the CGC census, this comic is an up as well as comer as well as you must keep an eye on it. currently fetching a respectable $525.00 in licensed 9.8 condition, however finest returns have been on 9.6 copies. With a positive +78.3% return on investment after 100 sales considering that 2009. 9.6 copies currently have a fair market value of $220.00.

Finally, Josh Stewart has likewise joined the cast this season as a character called John Pilgrim. This character is far less well known. The blurbs from different enjoyment web sites insurance claim that John Pilgrim is not a marvel Comics character, so this new villain (an alt-right preacher according to different sources) has no comic history.

Still there was a Pilgrim character in the marvel Universe. Mosely Wilson aka Pilgrim Wilson. very first appearing in amazing four 2099 #2 (February 1996) he was likewise swiftly killed in the extremely next issue. considering that he is from the future as well as one more marvel world (Earth 928) disallowing a sci-fi twist, I question this character will be the one in the series.
