COMICS QUICKIES

20 minutes ago -- The Buffalo News

Death Wish done as an ultra-violent superhero saga for the arty graphic-novel set. That's the low concept behind Punisher: War Zone, starring Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, a U.S. commando who turns himself into a vigilante killing machine after his wife and two kids become collateral damage to a gangland execution in a public park. The Castles, of course, were having a picnic...
