There was an in-between story set at a slaughterhouse that felt very generic and formulaic, like a leftover Punisher story. But I thought the first three issues were thoughtfully written. The main character is a Russian who witnesses the death of his squad in defense of a huge secret. Then he heads to America to avenge his comrades with one rifle and one bullet with. Ennis actually brewed up some smart political discourse from a bitter Russian soldier's point of view, and in the end, the Russian effects his vengeance, having found it to be his purpose in life. Like a one-bullet Punisher, still I suppose, but with a different take on hero/villain.
The story slacked with issues 4 and 5, but I'm glad I kept picking it up. |
