The Punisher (2000), subtitled Welcome Back, Frank for collected editions, is a series from the Marvel Knights imprint of Marvel Comics, starring the titular Punisher, Frank Castle. It's written by Garth Ennis with art by Steve Dillon and Jimmy Palmiotti, and color art by Chris Sotomayor.The series, set in the shared Marvel Universe, serves as a Soft Reboot for the Punisher. A previous series, subtitled Purgatory (1998), had reinvented the character - normally a Badass Normal vigilante - by giving him magical powers. They are promptly removed again prior to the start of Welcome Back, Frank, something which is briefly explained in the first issue and then never mentioned again.Now returned to his old self, the Punisher is back in New York, ready to end the Gnucci crime family once and for all. Understandably, Ma Gnucci is not prepared to let that happen.Frank's return has also inspired other vigilantes, "The Holy", "Elite" and "Mr. Payback", each with their own focus and their own trail of bodies.Meanwhile, New York's police can't just let a murderous vigilante run free, but they also broadly approve of the Punisher, who saves them so much work, So, the "Punisher case" gets assigned to the most pathetic pair of losers they can find, who are now getting entangled in all of this. Lord help them.The first issue was released on April 1, 2000. The series ended with #12, released on March 1, 2001.A Sequel Series, also simply titled The Punisher, swiftly followed in June 2001, initially with the same creative team. |

comment |
Rasputinian Death: After the burnings, beatings and stabbings, it takes being suffocated under a tremendously obese man and the Punisher to take out the Russian. And even then his head gets cut off. And even that didn't completely finish him, as the story arc after this one showed. |

comment |
Mr. Payback can be seen as a critique of the Punisher's murderous methods. While Payback's grievances are legitimate, gunning down the nearest bad guys is unlikely to solve complex international socioeconomic problems (such as the inhumane Taiwanese labor practices he mentions in his Motive Rant). Payback also highlights the amount of collateral damage and innocent victims the Punisher's violence would cause if he wasn't hypercompetent and Crazy-Prepared. |

Ascended Fanboy: The Russian may be a villain, but he's a huge fan of American superheroes. He's even one of the founding members of the Daredevil Man Without Fear Fan Club in Smolensk. And when he's done with Punisher, he will go to meet the others and ask for autographs. Or perhaps he will join the Fantastic Four? Who is stronger, The Thing or The Russian? |

Funny Background Event: On a filing cabinet in the police station, there is a stuffed pig in a policeman's uniform. Those cops must have a good sense of humor. When Ma Gnucci is in the hospital after being mauled by polar bears, there's a get well card on the bed with a picture of a teddy bear on it. |

The Holy can be viewed as a parody of the Punisher's Heaven story-arc, his absolute moral certainty, and the criticism that his character is little more than a homicidal psychopath. |

Fat Comic Relief: Frank's neighbor, Mr. Nathaniel Bumpo, is very big and fat and it's a running gag that almost every time Frank sees him that he's in some comedic situation because of his weight. First he was stuck on his door and had to be pulled through. Then he had to get his toilet replaced again because he keeps breaking his, this time with plate steel with some skepticism that would even be enough, with him asking if they come in adamantium. |

Scatterbrained Senior: Mrs. Pearse, the cleaning lady at the church, is zealous about her duties, but forgetful (she can't seem to get cleaning day right) and nearly blind and deaf, so much so that Father Redondo can say out loud that he killed the criminals who went to confess with him and she still won't listen. And she cleans up all the blood nicely and without reservations, because she thinks it's spilt communion wine. |

Evil Is One Big, Happy Family: No, it is not, as the Vigilante Squad shows. They all have differing motivations, which leads them to constantly bicker with each other. In fact, they're so awful at working together that as soon as they join forces, they completely stop killing people because they're too busy arguing about plans to actually get out on the street. |

What Measure Is a Mook? |

comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: The various mob goons are frequently upset about the deaths of their friends (at the hands of both the Punisher and Bad Boss Ma) and many are terrified about having to go after the Punisher but are forced into it. One is also shown eating a candy bar and reading The Bridges of Madison County right before Frank dispatches him. However, this overlaps with Bait the Dog for Benny and Billy, who get a few scenes where they act as comic relief or seem appalled by how ruthless Ma is, only for them to brutally torture Spacker Dave in their final appearance. |

Back-Alley Doctor: Frank has to pay one to fix up Dave after he's tortured, and to remove the bullets that are still in Frank's body after a nasty shootout. Frank thinks that he would've done it himself, but he needed someone who could help Dave. Frank also doesn't trust the hospital's (more sober) doctors since they could be on Ma Gnucci's payroll — the back alley doctor, on the other hand, is "old-school". |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones |
| | The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank (Comic Book) / int_63d861f8 |
comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Rapist and mobster Bobby Gnucci visits the morgue to see the body of his brother Eddie and is upset by the scene. Carlo Gnucci shows concern and fear when he thinks his girlfriend has fallen out a window (really, the Punisher just intimidated her into leaving the room as he prepares to kill Carlo). Fascistic murderer the Elite has a brief friendly conversation with his son about what their family is having for dinner. One of the drug dealers Elite kills has a sister who is upset enough about his death that an acquaintance promised her he would kill the Elite. He tries, but it goes poorly for him. Downplayed or averted with Ma Gnucci. She does hire assassins to kill the Punisher after he kills her sons (and later her brother), but barely acknowledges their existence and seems more determined to avenge the physical injuries he inflicts on her. |

Jerkass Has a Point |
| | The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank (Comic Book) / int_6b05b601 |
comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Mr. Payback showed up at a corporate room, accused the people in there of several corporate crimes, and killed them. One guy was complaining later about those horrible things he said... but the CEO corrected him: he was right, they DID commit those crimes, and managed to conceal them. Interestingly, the Punisher himself is fully aware of this, and brings it up when he confronts Payback. The Punisher tells him he's killed four innocent people, one of them being a cleaning lady who died when one of Payback's bullets went through a wall and hit her. Not only does this show Frank's contempt for vigilantes who don't properly plan ahead to prevent innocent people from getting killed, but it also shows that Frank had no problem whatsoever with Payback killing corrupt corporate execs; it was Payback's sloppiness in being a vigilante that signed his death warrant. |

The best plan they could come up with was just to let things happen and let the whole crisis solve itself. |

Establishing Character Moment: The first thing Frank does is toss a mafia goon off a building. Elite kills drug dealers, dogs doing their necessities on the sidewalk and threatens hot dog vendors by blowing up their businesses, for a "nice neighborhood". The first we (sort of) see the Russian do is completely and utterly destroy a special ops team sent to kill him, sending the leader running naked, with his rifle bent around his neck, and crying "I want my Mommeeee...!". |

Dented Iron: The Punisher doesn't make it through all his fights unscathed. Two of his battles lead to injuries that become major plot points. When he takes two hits from a mook with an SMG while he's trailing Ma Gnucci it allows a nosy neighbor to identify him as he limps home. When a mob hit team attacks him as a result, the Punisher gets shot so many times he's incapacitated which make him a sitting duck for the Russian. |

Every last one of her goons drops their guns and walks away, leaving her to face her fate alone. Frank's reaction when he notices the Russian has torn a toilet loose from the fixtures and is coming after him. |

Everyone Has Standards |
| | The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank (Comic Book) / int_b4a6ae4c |
comment |
Everyone Has Standards: For all of Frank's brutality in dealing with his chosen targets, he always makes sure that he goes after people who have committed actual crimes and is careful to avoid harming innocents. This is the main reason he rejects the "Vigilante Squad"; Mr Payback in particular is called out for causing collateral damage and the Elite is dismissed as a Nazi who just goes after certain social groups of people he doesn't like, while the Holy is basically crazy. |

Shadow Archetype |
| | The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank (Comic Book) / int_b5e63cc4 |
comment |
Shadow Archetype: Each member of the 'Vigilante Squad' highlights common criticisms of the Punisher as a character. Elite is the Punisher if he really did shoot people for jaywalking. Elite also highlights the racist and xenophobic aspects of the Punisher's frequent wars on a Generic Ethnic Crime Gang. The Holy can be viewed as a parody of the Punisher's Heaven story-arc, his absolute moral certainty, and the criticism that his character is little more than a homicidal psychopath. Mr. Payback can be seen as a critique of the Punisher's murderous methods. While Payback's grievances are legitimate, gunning down the nearest bad guys is unlikely to solve complex international socioeconomic problems (such as the inhumane Taiwanese labor practices he mentions in his Motive Rant). Payback also highlights the amount of collateral damage and innocent victims the Punisher's violence would cause if he wasn't hypercompetent and Crazy-Prepared. |

Berserk Button: The Russian no-sells virtually everything Punisher throws against him, with one exception; he has a low tolerance for heat. The only times he expresses pain is when Frank burns his hand on the stove and throws a scalding pizza in his face. Unfortunately, this also makes him furious. |

Carnival of Killers |
| | The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank (Comic Book) / int_d609b01a |

Carnival of Killers: Deconstructed. A gangster employs three badass killers to take out the Punisher. The first guy is some kind of Neo-Cowboy Gunslinger, famous for a firefight with four State Troopers, where he ducked the last bullet fired at him, and shot the last cop dead. The Punisher riddles him with an UZI. note ("Dodged a bullet. But not thirty.") The second guy is a Martial Arts expert "with a black belt in anything you care to name." Punisher says that he knows "a little myself", but settles on simply shoving the guy onto a subway track. Lastly we have an ex-Marine sniper and Desert Storm veteran. Punisher runs him over with a car, then backs up on him for good measure. |

Within Arm's Reach: During a scene where Frank is getting the absolute shit beaten out of him by the Russian, he notices a gun he dropped lying under a piece of furniture. Averted in that Frank does manage to pick up the gun, but the Russian easily takes it away from him and breaks off the barrel, then proceeds with beating down Frank. Frank finally killed the Russian by throwing a piping hot, freshly delivered pizza in his face and then suffocating him by pushing his morbidly obese neighbor on his face and then piling on so the Russian couldn't get away. Played straight because both the pizza and Mr. Bumpo were within Frank's reach. |

Pet the Dog: Frank sneaks back into his abandoned apartment and leaves behind huge piles of cash (taken from the safe of a crime boss he'd just killed) for his three neighbors to find. Each of them had helped him several times during the arc, and he felt obligated. The last panel shows him standing on the street outside, listening to them laughing with joy and planning on improving their lives with the money. Frank walks away, thinking: "Best I can do. Maybe I am damned. But I'm not dragging you good people down with me." |
