Kitchen Irish<\/em> deals with the \nrationale behind the problems when exported to New York and a new \ngeneration. The Punisher\u2019s involvement begins when he\u2019s having his lunch\n and Irish pub explodes opposite the diner, bringing several characters \nof Irish origin onto his radar.
\nThe most extreme of them is Finn Cooley, a man so dedicated to his \nbigotry that his war continues despite him missing most of his facial \nfeatures, lost when a bomb he was constructing detonated prematurely. \nOnly slightly further down the unpleasantness scale is Maginty, a \ndreadlocked monster who delights in torture, and there are assorted \nother distasteful individuals all with connections to a particularly \nrepellent and recently deceased Irish gangster called Nesbitt. Never one\n to smile when he could spit in someone\u2019s face, his parting kick is to \nset assorted gangs against each other by leaving each one clue as to \nwhere his money is hidden, knowing full well that co-operation won\u2019t be \non the agenda.<\/p>\n
Being familiar with the territory, Ennis deals in passing with so \ncalled Plastic Paddies, folk who\u2019ve never set foot in Northern Ireland, \nyet mythologise the conflict there, and there\u2019s a very human touch in \ndealing with former and weaker IRA supporters. Also introduced is \nBritish agent Yorkie Mitchell, a man near retirement age who\u2019ll figure \nlater in the series, who\u2019s the Punisher\u2019s conduit into the various \nfactions exporting problems to New York.<\/p>\n
Artist Leandro Fern\u00e1ndez isn\u2019t quite as accomplished as his \npredecessor Lewis Larosa, but in no way deficient, and the designs he \ndelivers for Cooley and Maginty in particular are disturbing and \nmemorable. <\/p>\n\n
