    Actually I’m not sure. Usually a beat panel is the second to last with no action in it at all. But in this one both middle panels have an action (the car going by and then Calvin & Hobbs running) but the framing with action outside the window isolates us just the right amount to still feel like a beat is being taken between the action of the car disaster and moms realisation.
    I imagine if I was drawing this I’d have had the car and Calvin both go by in the second panel and the third just being mom thinking. But Watterson such a great artist he can create that feeling of a moment of stillness without it really being there.

    What’s your personal situation? For me I’ve got good freezer space, so a slow cooker and a bunch of freezer safe containers made for a really good investment. A slow cooker lets you use a lot of cheaper cuts of meat like beef chuck and chicken thighs, as well as making the cooking of beans and stews much easier. But it does tend to make larger portions then I need at a go, so I need to food prep and freeze a lot of stuff. On the other hand that allows me to buy in bulk, cook it all up and then freeze it. I tend to have like four to eight copies of a dozen different meals in our freezer so that does take up a lot of space.

    I too really enjoyed this one-off. It really feels like Feige is keeping hands off these projects, letting the Daredevil producers in Born Again, and letting Bernthal and Green, tell the stories that they want to tell and not make it about the ‘story’ of the MCU.
    I agree with you though this really feels like a restart of the character from the end of his last show and where we see Frank at the beginning of Born Again.
    I disagree about Ma Gnucci though. I love Judith Light in the part but I got enough to understand everything she’s going through. Yeah Frank killing her family has given her PTSD and she’s going to hurt everybody in the fucking city to lash out. I don’t need to know why her body is rotting out (it’s the hate she carries) I get that she thinks she’s going to punish him because that’s all she’s got.
    Hurt people hurt people - that’s the whole story of The Punisher. It that last minute choice Frank makes to save the Donut family (by hurting people still) rather than focusing on revenge so much stronger.
    Honestly the one-off is great and the only problem I have really on my end. It’s not a coda to Born Again, in fact it’s got nothing to do with Born Again at all and I’m still a little bit grumpy about how that ended.
