[empty gas tank]

I'm probably the only person alive disappointed with the latest Garth Ennis "masterpiece."

I'm getting a little tired of the whole "as told through the eyes of someone besides the main character" bit Ennis has been using lately... it really didn't work with Just a Pilgrim, and it's hindering this book as well. I was hoping for some real down-and-gritty Frank Castle philosophical views on the whole "Vietnam phenomenon." Instead I've been left wondering, what the hell? Leading a dumb-witted two-star general to his death? Isn't that a little un-Castle like? Punishing the guilty is his game, not punishing those who might piss him off. I was psyched when I first heard this series was coming out. Now I'm just... crying.
