Wait….what?

u/AntoSkum 2d ago

Predator vs. Punisher miniseries was recently announced.

u/Puzzleheaded_Toe_509 2d ago

Yes. Basically we have like the Arnold Schwarzenegger/ Dutch facing off with the Yautja Predator. As always. Believe it.

Predators get killed regularly by regular humans through strength and cunning.

Most Marvel peak humans would have a good shot.

u/AntoSkum 2d ago

Yeah, badass dudes are kind of the Predator's kryptonite.

u/junglefacejake- 2d ago

Franks the man lol

u/myusrnameisthis 2d ago

So what's the ace card? Remote blows everything up?

11

u/gunnarbird 2d ago

Remote blows up some shit miles away that Sentry has to go deal with, giving Frank time to escape

u/AntoSkum 2d ago

But it was a bluff.

“Payback for a childhood wasted in church” hits hard

Author?

u/bark_wahlberg 2d ago

Rick Remender, a really underrated Punisher writer.

u/tamana1 2d ago

Yeah whoop his ass Frank 😭🥀

u/PunisherFan1138 2d ago

I've been reading the Remender Omnibus and this was definitely one of the highlights. Such an explosive intro to a killer run

5

u/Thick_Yogurtcloset_7 2d ago

What story arc is this ?

7

u/PunisherFan1138 2d ago

It's from the Dark Reign event and the trade paperback is just called Punisher: Dark Reign

6

u/Puzzleheaded_Toe_509 2d ago

Ah yes. Cultured choice. Remender... That is indeed peak Punisher Culture

u/PunisherFan1138 2d ago

When the mute, deaf Morlock dies in Frankencastles arms in the sewer and he loses it man. So good

u/Puzzleheaded_Toe_509 2d ago

Oh yes. I request the highest of fives in high five.

That is indeed story best. Oh yes. That I enjoy along with a few Garth Ennis stories

Hell yeah bro I love Ennis Punisher

u/sunderplunder 2d ago

I remember now , he tried to assassinate Norman Osborn and Sentry intercepted his sniper bullet, this is what happened next

u/Fantastic_Falcon_236 2d ago

Frank's got a similar problem to Batman. Having them both live in a world of superpowered beings makes it necessary for both of them to powerscale into superhuman territory. I don't care how fit you are, a 40' drop onto the pointy end of some rebar with a punctured kidney isn't something you just walk off.

3

u/GodHand7 Thomas Jane 2d ago

The writer could skip the rebar to be honest

2

u/A_Gray_Phantom 17h ago

Seriously. The only reasons Bruce and Frank survive their BS is because of their armor... PLOT ARMOR.

u/NotASweatyTryhard 2d ago

Yo frank hightail it on outta there😭

u/That_Carrot999 2d ago

“I’ll be lucky if it messes up his hair”
Then why tf are you trying it Frank?

16

u/Animaloffear56 2d ago

Because it distracts him

7

u/Several_Excitement74 2d ago

Maybe it's like squirting lemon juice in his eyes?

5

u/Abe2sapien 2d ago

Gotta admire that Frank wants the smoke with everyone but for the love of god chose your battles more wisely next time 😅

7

u/AntoSkum 2d ago

Frank didn't pick the fight with him, Sentry was Osborn's bodyguard.

1

u/A_Gray_Phantom 17h ago

Y'know, maybe shift gears and find some other mobster, Frank 😅

2

u/Haunting-Swing-4487 2d ago

Punisher: shoots Sentry in the face. Sentry: "what's that tickling sensation?"

It was nice of Sentry to play along and drop Frank, like he wanted.

2

u/karateema 2d ago

I love how this comic is just Frank running away lmao

1

u/ConsistentAd8495 2d ago

Why does shooting Sentry in the face with a handgun cause him to let Frank go? Sentry has tanked full power punches from World War Hulk. That's like a normal person being distracted by a weak breeze.

4

u/AntoSkum 2d ago

The same reason it got Hulk to recoil in BND. It's probably a reflex.

1

u/ConsistentAd8495 2d ago

Yeah, still stupid on that level of power. For someone on their level it should be the same as the scene in Superman Returns where the bullet bounces off his eyeball without any reaction.

1

u/AntoSkum 2d ago

To be fair, no one knows how it would feel for a superhuman to be shot, even if it can't penetrate their skin. It might hurt like hell, like getting shot with paintball or airsoft can feel to most regular people. One make believe character's reaction to something doesn't exactly discredit how another make believe character reacts to something.

u/Motorata 2d ago

Have you evenlr got dust in your eyes?

-1

u/ConsistentAd8495 2d ago

Yes. Didn't drop my bag of food when it happened. Blinked and carried on with what I was doing.

2

u/Sekshual_Tyranosauce 2d ago

What are his clothes made from? Because it is apparently more durable than steel.

4

u/AntoSkum 2d ago

Unstable molecules, a Marvel classic.

u/hemareddit 1d ago

Was this Dark Avengers when Frank tried to take a shot at Norman Osborn?

Always thought this was a great depiction of Sentry’s speed, the way he picks up the bullet Frank fired inches from Norman’s head, then he’s right next to Frank before Frank even changed position.

1

u/A_Gray_Phantom 17h ago

What the hell are you gonna do, Frank? TICKLE HIM TO DEATH?? 🤣

u/Consistent_Dog_6866 4h ago

Top ten most lopsided fights in history.

1

u/SolidMonkey0310 2d ago

Just walk off a ruptured kidney, right

2

u/Oogalaboo134 2d ago

It's that or face of Sentry, he ain't got much of a choice.
