good thing about living on the left coast? only 9:00 p.m. when the next panels go live on the right coast!!
Yeah, somebody IS that fast, pal! Miles Drake. Perfect name for a lawman.
oh yeah, and what kind of hostage-taker doesn’t even have his gun cocked when threatening to shoot? C’Mon! Get a clue!
Nice.
Drake pulls the Justified/Dirty Harry shot (thanks for leaning out overconfident bad guy) and saves him from having to take the Nybakken Alternative.
Can’t wait to see where the key leads.
PS I want my next Punisher NOW! Not in more than two weeks. Wah!
Ha! That was great. I love that third panel.
The little details really make it, like the wagon marks on the road, stuff like that really builds a world.
I’m particularly delighted by the speed lines where Drake’s holstering his weapon.
Great move!
I am in for whole story.
Thank you both.
Steampunk and Old West. Jeez, why don’t you throw Gothic Horror in and and give me my 3-of-a-kind genre love.
You’ve read Chapter Three, then?
