Lots of Crime and an Itty Bitty Bit of Punisher.

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2009

This graphic novel opens with Amazing Spider-Man #574: A complete story featuring Flash Thompson. Showing us where he is in the "Brand New Day" Universe and what inspired him to become a solder in the military. Though Not a Spider-Man based story, by no means did it disappoint. I'd suggest Amazing Spider-Man #574 alone as a must buy for any comic book reader.

In "The Death of a Wise Guy" it opens a new chapter in Hammer Heads mythos. Given a second chance at 'life' by Mr. Negative himself. Hammer Head Accepts his Russian heritage becoming something even more dangerous than a pseudo gangster. Sadly after completing "The Death of a Wise Guy" I was a bit disappointed as the dual story arcs had very little evolution... Mr. Negative doesn't use him and the Hammer just recruits a bunch of adolescent street gangs to Mr. Negative.

The final double sized issue teams up both the psychologically anti-hero The Punisher and who other than the Amazing Spider-Man. This story alone is worth reading for the chemistry between Spider-Man and the Punisher-- or lack there of as Spider-Man follows the Punisher on his one man fight against Gamma MGH drug dealer Moses Magnum.

Some great moments, but mostly meh

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017

This collection of Spider-Man has some great moments, but it is mostly mediocre.

It starts off with an excellent story about Flash Thompson fighting in the middle-east. I won't give anything else away, but the reveal at the end of that issue has a major impact on the character for the next few years.

The rest of it is pretty predictable. Spider-Man struggles against the gang violence PSA, then he and Punisher fight a super-powered arms dealer. I just wish they could have kept the momentum after the opening issue.

Pros:
Decent artwork, and a solid first issue featuring Flash Thompson. Also, amusing banter between Spidey and pretty much everyone.

Cons:
Somewhat cliched writing
Grammatical errors aplenty. For example, in the recap page of the second issue, it describes Mr. Negative, saying "sA new player on the crime scene, this monochromatic megalomaniac..." . I'm pretty sure they either meant "A new player on the crime scene" or "As a new player on the crime scene" .

Overall, I think it's a decent read. I just wish it could have been more than that.

Crime and Punishment... of Reading This Collection

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2012

The stories featured in this collection are part of the BRAND NEW DAY retcon-continuity, something that I have been a confessed HATER of since (Brand New) Day-one! If you are a BRAND NEW DAY fan, you may not care to read this review. However, if you're like me, and you hate the fact that over 25yrs of comic continuity can be tossed aside for a cheap, low-blow retcon, then this review may stroke you where you live.

First of all, the compilation title is very misleading, as the Punisher is only featured in the last story (I believe it's a double-sized issue #577 of Amazing Spiderman). As far as Spidey/Punisher adventures go, this tale adds nothing new to the relationship between these two characters that long-time readers don't already know. Their differing methods and viewpoint on how criminals should be handled is flatly repetitive of every Spider/Punisher meeting we have ever seen up to this point. Zeb Wells is an acceptable (if not original) storyteller, but nothing here made this particular story stand out for me.

The other reviewers of this book seem to have enjoyed the Flash Thompson story the most. For a retcon, I thought the story was interesting enough. And with that, I send a shout out to all our veterans, past and present. (In Amazing Spiderman's original run, Flash Thompson fought in the Vietnam War.) I accept that as time moves on, it becomes necessary to retcon certain events and characters to parallel `real-world' events and keep characters socially and culturally relevant. However, I don't know that I needed the `shock ending' for this story to resonate with me, but that is why creative license exists. Marc Guggenheim handles this tale.

I suppose my favorite in this volume was the two-part Hammerhead story. Joe Kelly did a decent job of retconning in a way that gracefully blended newer mythos and characters (like Mr. Negative) along with older ones (like Dr. Jonas Harrow). However, the solid tale was tainted by the inky Rorschach blots that Chris Bachalo shamelessly passes off as pencil art. I was constantly removing my glasses to make out his convoluted images so often that I couldn't even enjoy a smooth, unfettered read.

I think there was also some 6-page J-Jonah Jameson story or some such; it certainly didn't rock my world significantly enough for me to recall details.

Overall, I thought the collection was barely passable. If you are a BRAND NEW DAY fanboy and you are really hating that you don't have this in your collection, don't waste cash buying the hardback; check on Amazon to see what vendors are selling the paperback for cheap. (As I'm writing this, I'm noticing that some vendors are selling it on here for $4.00 plus shipping). But if you're looking for great Spidey stories that you will want to re-read over and over, grab any number of compilations that take place BEFORE the BRAND NEW DAY starts. (However, you may want to avoid the CLONE saga.)
