Punisher: Body Count

The new year ain't started 'til we get started. Introduction - Jake and I catch up on our holiday excursions, and I talk about our business dealings behind the scenes. News - I bring up the upcoming Punisher comics and Jake gives an update on new interviews. Mail Call - Bunch 'a mail! Ever wonder why cops don't catch the Punisher nearly as often as they should, or what Frank's favorite tunes are? Well now you will know. Bullet Points - We cover Thunderbolts #20.1. Sorry. Flashbacks - We follow up on a fan request to discuss Brubaker's Daredevil #84-87, where Matt Murdock is in prison and getting a mean, so Frank comes in to have a heart-to-heart.  Discharge Papers - I recommend Jim Steranko's Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD and Jake recommends the 1998 mini-series The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Gérard Depardieu. We wrap things up by heavily disagreeing on Pacific Rim.
