Even when you have the ability to travel through time, Frank Castle is going to learn that there some things that you just can’t change.
After seeing the destructive aftermath of the world his “son” Thanos has created in his image, Frank decides that he’s had enough. Resigned to the fact that he has spent countless years being the pawn of others for their own agendas, Frank decides that he needs to take a stand and end the threat of Thanos once and for all.
He just needs to make sure baby Thanos doesn’t witness it when he does.
Taking the fight to ground level, Frank finally stops holding back and battle the rampaging Titan with all of the power that he has, including some that Thanos isn’t aware of. It is a knock down, drag out fight of both ideas and ideals and the two wreak havoc across the city until Frank finally gets the upper hand and employs a power that Thanos was not prepared for.
There is so much rich detail and well done dialogue in this issue that to say anything else about the plot would spoil some incredibly funny and amazing moments that should be experienced. To that end, Donny Cates does a great job with this issue and with the evolution and development of these characters. His Frank is nuanced and self-reflective in a way that doesn’t make him in any way less dangerous and volatile. It gives a greater sense of purpose to what Frank does because we get a glimpse into his mind through the internal dialogue Cates adds to the story.
As fun an exciting as the story is, the visuals by Dylan Burnett add and enhance every page with both the kinetic style of the action and the detailed and fun facial expressions. It’s going to be interesting to see where Frank goes from here and this issue lays the groundwork for some fun and intriguing journeys to come.
