Think about it for a sec. Mack Bolan - The Executioner. Those books were written by Don Pendleton. The Characters have ALOT of similarities.

I pretty much buy anything Punisher related. I've been collecting Punisher comics & Graphic novels since Marvel first introduced the character back in AMAZING SPIDERMAN #129. I bought the FRANKENCASTLE series because my collection wouldn't be complete without it (I have EVERY issue of every series, as well as books that were non-Punisher titles where he made appearances.) I enjoyed the change in character as well as the story line. Now I hope Marvel gets him back yo normal and doing what he does best... kicking A$$ and taking names. I’m a HUGE Punisher fan.

BWA-HA-HA-HA!!! So there are no editors or creative direction at Marvel what so ever? Reading Marvel is as stupid as watching soap operas. Frankencastle?! BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!

He's never had superpowers in any permanent sort of manner, and that's kind of how I like him. He's a low-level boogeyman who takes on powers way beyond him with guns, some tech, and by being scary smart about it. Turning him into just another tank with a chip on his shoulder is worse than if they'd just killed him off and let him stay that way. Bee-tee-double-you... He was killed by Daken. Daken. Wolverine's son. Let that sink in a moment. THE WORST IDEA MARVEL'S COME UP WITH SINCE BRAND NEW DAY. THAT Daken. The problem is that Frank doesn’t roll this way.

I can only hope they don't turn Bruce Wayne into Frankenbats. it’s hard to say how the future of this series will turn out, we’ll just hafta wait and see. on the other hand, i’m gettin’ sick of all the companies killin’ characters only to bring them back to life, such as this and Blackest Night.

Garth Ennis didn't bring him back from the dead, the writer before him did. Golden's Purgatory killed and resurrected him. Ennis' first MK run dealt with what happened after Frank stopped working for the angels. You’re actually wrong, Colt. Garth Ennis didn’t bring him back from the dead, the writer before him did.

So there's a good chance he has a dead body buried somewhere. Let’s all remember that Frank Castle died once before, and was supernaturally resurrected in Garth Ennis’ first Marvel Knights arc.

Peace.

Creative bankruptcy. Here's hoping DC continues to kick Marvel's ass creatively and in terms of sales. There's simply no comparison between the two companies right now. Blackest Night = GOLD.

I've stuck with it due to the 2.99 price and to see Frank (mis)using all that stolen Avengers tech so deviously. No harm in saying "wait and see," right?
