Wayhey!

This week's genius of the week - Daniel Way for the first issue of his Punisher/Bullseye series.

Now let's get this straight:

I don't like Punisher.

However, since Ennis has recognised that he's a total loonytunes psychopath in his own take on the character, he's got a lot more readable.

However, I DO love Bullseye and Way proved with his previous Bullseye's Greatest Hits series he really knows how to play with the character, layering dark humour with some inventive ways of offing his targets.

That trend continues in this issue and it's mostly setup as a mob godfather, who's had to adopt a rather... unconventional mode of dress to stay off the Punisher's radar, takes out a hit on the Punisher. The man for the job? Bullseye of course, who has his own vendetta against the skull shirted dude (as shown in Bullseye's Greatest Hits).

It's all rather silly, in the style of Garth Ennis' most blackly comic work, and thoroughly entertaining. Perhaps you shouldn't laugh when Bullseye kills a target by dropping a coin off the Empire State Building and watching it land with lethal velocity, but I did.

Can't wait for the next issue.

Way's clearly one to watch.
