    Where Is Punisher Now—And Is The Current Run Setting Up The MCU? (Punisher #3 Review)

    If you've been away from Punisher comics or confused about where Frank Castle stands right now, this episode breaks down the full picture. Jace of The Comic Source looks at the current status quo following the Hand era, the Joe Garrison run, Red Band, and now Punisher #3 from the current series by Benjamin Percy. While Marvel is clearly bringing Punisher back to a more grounded, street-level approach, questions remain about what this version of the character actually is and whether it can evolve in a modern storytelling landscape. With the upcoming Punisher: One Last Kill special on the horizon, Jace also explores whether the direction of the comics could be aligning with what we may see on screen, and what that could mean for the future of the character. 👉 Follow The Comic Source on all social media with our Linktree - https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource

    Warbird #0 Review — It's NOT About The Money

    Warbird #0 from Bad Idea Comics introduces Cole Norton, a high-end repo man capable of stealing anything that rides, flies, or floats. Written by Robert Venditti and Derek Kolstad with art by Jesse Lonergan, the issue delivers high-octane action through "The Bike Job," where Cole infiltrates a luxury yacht to repossess an experimental motorcycle. While the premise leans heavily on spectacle, the issue also hints at deeper motivations driving Cole. His precision, control, and detachment suggest that the work itself may matter more than the payout, raising the question of whether each job is less about money and more about avoiding his past while taking something back from the powerful people he targets. The issue functions as both an action showcase and a character setup, laying the groundwork for the larger Warbird mission involving advanced fighter jets and escalating global stakes. 👉 Follow The Comic Source on all social media with our Linktree - https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource

    It Looks Like Sunday Funnies… But This Comic Has Something Real To Say (Oddball's Odyssey Review)

    Oddball's Odyssey from Bad Idea Comics might look like a Sunday funnies throwback, but underneath the whimsical cartooning and laugh-out-loud moments is a story with real emotional depth. Written and illustrated by Tony Millionaire, with colors by Jim Campbell II, this oversized issue delivers gorgeous, expressive artwork that leans into classic cartooning and Looney Tunes–style visual storytelling. On the surface, it's a zany adventure following Bobby, an alcoholic monkey, and his friend Jimmy as they navigate a bizarre journey filled with mythological elements, surreal humor, and incredible sight gags. But beneath that playful tone are themes of self-awareness, belonging, friendship, and the search for love, as Bobby's obsession with Lucia the swan pushes him toward confronting his own flaws and finding his place in the world. This is a comic that works on multiple levels—you can enjoy it purely for the humor and visual storytelling, or dig deeper into the ideas about identity, connection, and acceptance that give the story its emotional weight.

    He Died Protecting Her… So Why Is He Still Here? (Corpse Knight #1 Review)

    Jace of The Comic Source breaks down Corpse Knight #1 from Skybound Entertainment, written by Michael Chaves with art by Matthew Roberts and colors by Rico Renzi. Set against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War, the story follows a young girl named Foy and her father as they struggle to survive in a dangerous, war-torn countryside, with the relationship between the two serving as the emotional foundation of the issue. After tragedy strikes, that bond takes a dark and unexpected turn when her father returns under mysterious circumstances, raising questions about faith, sacrifice, and what it truly means to protect someone. Jace highlights the cinematic storytelling approach, the strength of the visual narrative, and how the issue leans more into character-driven dark fantasy than traditional horror, while also touching on the Joan of Arc element that sets up the broader journey ahead. 👉 Follow The Comic Source on all social media with our Linktree - https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource

    Geiger #2 Deep Dive — Expanding the World & Raising Bigger Questions

    Jace breaks down Geiger #2 as the Ghost Machine universe expands with the introduction of Las Vegas, the King, and the idea of the so-called "Holy Grail." The issue builds out the larger world around Tariq Geiger, while also revealing more about his past and the possible connection between his condition and the radiation that changed everything. The story introduces new characters and shows the harsh reality of survival in this post-apocalyptic setting, while also setting up larger conflicts that continue to pay off later in the series. With the benefit of hindsight, many of the elements introduced here carry more weight, especially when looking at how the narrative evolves beyond this issue.

    Leonardo Da Vinci as an Action Hero (Leo Da Vinci Renaissance Kid Interview)

The conversation covers the inspiration behind portraying Da Vinci as a mischievous and empathetic protagonist, the balance between factual history and fictional storytelling, and how the Renaissance setting mirrors modern-day experiences for younger readers.
