This as usually was pretty good. My only complaint would be it felt extremely light. I feel like it was only like 19 or 20 pages of story, unless I'm just being incompetent, and that's leaving aside no few of those pages were devoted to one or two punches each.
As far as Conquest
Since Kirkman keeps hyping him up, I wonder if he's the Viltrumite version of Allen, going from planet to planet trying to get the various agents up to par. He seems to be spending a lot of time trying to egg Invincible on, above and beyond the crazy villain who likes to fight shtick.
As to your spoiler
Cecil is still the only stereotypical government asshole I've actually agreed with. The Invincible world has been over run something like a half dozen times in the last 2 years. At that point you really do have to do anything you can to defend yourself, pleasantries be damned.

Oh, I don't blame Cecil at all, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Mark kill him after what he's done this issue.
Did anyone pick up Herogasm? I saw it on the shelf in my local comic book store and rifled through it. It was exactly what I thought it might be and decided not to pick it up.

I read it, it was interesting. I like the concept that all the heroes lie to the world about a global threat so they can go off and have a weekend of unbridled hedonism. It really banks on the idea that superheroes, dressing the way they are and doing what they do, are all really huge deviant perverts.

Alan Moore did it better in Top Ten, and if you go over to S_D they have an issue that is so much better than Garth Ennis' (now annoying) take on superheroes.

It's hard to get excited about Alan Moore's take on it after Ennis has spent years beating the concept into the ground.
Someone has to name all the villains in the last page of Punisher.
Those are
all of the villains killed by Scourge in the 80s.
What I've got to wonder is, where did the Hood find 12 guys willing to get dusted to bring them all back?
And why would the Hood prefer 12 Z-listers to the dudes he had?
Of course I know the real reason is so they can have Frank killing a bunch of dudes in costumes in the next few issues without worrying about killing off any characters they care about.
No. Gregg Hurwitz followed Ennis' run with an arc set in Mexico, and Duane Swierczynski's Philly arc just ended. The next one is going to be Victor Gischler, and then in September Jason Aaron takes over the MAX title.
There's also going to be a Punisher Noir mini starting in August.

Because 12 Z list super villains beats 12 regular thugs?

That's surprising, since necromancy is fairly basic stuff for a malevolent, mystic entity of his caliber.
Yea, especially since they did go the route of having one (voluntary?) sacrifice for each one. At least it's not like he's just waving his hand and every corpse gets back up.

Jason Aaron as in Scalped Jason Aaron?
Fuck yeah.
Aaron has already done a Punisher MAX annual issue, and Holy Shit was it brutal.
I didn't know Marvel released trades for Kirkman's Ant-man. They are releasing the whole thing next month for 35 bucks retail but I don't know if I want to pick it up.

And Moore timewise did it first, unless Ennis started taking the piss out of the Marvel characters in Punisher before that.

Because it is so awesome.
Gadzooks, really?
What book is this? Weapon X?
https://twitter.com/Hooraydiation
Yes, really. And yeah, Weapon X. Jason Aaron is a madman.
LAZER CLAWS!
Those were just bullets that give people cancer.

I'm tempted...
He's doing both, actually. The 616 Punisher is just Punisher, whereas the Ennis one turned into Punisher: Frank Castle MAX.
Is Ennis still writing MAX?
It just seemed to be that you can only do so much with those stories.
There's also going to be a Punisher Noir mini starting in August.
that's probably why The Hood's doing it too.

My moment of the weak: finding Captain America: America First and actually reading it. Chaaaaaykin
Blocked his Ultimate X-Men run out of your mind, have we?
