Didn't we already go through this nonsense in the 90's?

	It might be stupid, but Frankencastle is an AWESOME NAME!! Of course, this is really no worse than, say, Punisher: Demon Killer from the early days of Marvel Knights. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's like saying that an Avengers story is no worse than "The Crossing," or a Batman film is no worse than Batman & Robin. Ghost-busting Punisher was the Speedball-as-Penance era of his character. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Motto... Frankencastle just makes me shake my head and wonder how this got through editorial. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	box_in_the_box 2009-08-30 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	The same editorial that mandated "Sins Past" and OMD? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You can take the heat, Doc. The dance contest/dance off is not over yet, and the DJ is spinning his own Lady Gaga medley. So you and the chimps must continue to dance. (Reply to this)

	Personally, I wouldn't mind somebody at Marvel doing a one-shot of Frank Castle in the future, where years of constant warfare has left him a broken shell, kept alive only through a complex series of a medical engineering. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	With those kinds of qualifications he could easily apply for a position at the Beyond corporation and be the next director of H.A.T.E. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And that explains the cyborg chassis. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	In other words, Bruce Wayne in Kingdom Come? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, pretty much. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Okay, did anyone else see the fire monkey thing and think "Dominic Deegan"? (Reply to this)

	I can't wait for the Visored "Man of Lasers" Punisher, the Armored "Man of Lead" Punisher, and the Cloned Punisherboy! (Reply to this)

	Is it me, or is there a hint of Li'l Abner in the last panel of the Doc Strange? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	his_spiffyness 2009-08-30 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe I should do a post of Nedor's Li'l Abner ripoff, Looie Lazybones. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Anyone else getting a Deathlok vibe from Frankencastle? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	johnzdrake 2009-08-30 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	Not to mention The Shadow, circa 1989. Which I have to say, I did not much care for at the time. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	To be fair, FrankenCastle looks like the average Punisher fanboy's dream come true. (Reply to this)

	darkknightjrk 2009-08-30 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Either this'll be a surprise and actually be an interesting story, or it's going to crash and burn in a spectacular fashion. Either way, it's sure to be entertaining. :D (Reply to this)

	seriousfic 2009-08-30 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	someone just dug up the caskets of Castle’s family (that’s got to end badly). Didn't Garth Ennis already do this story? Really, now, you're not going to do a Punisher story better than Garth Ennis. Unless it's the arc with Microchip. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	proteus_lives 2009-08-30 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Yup, he did. And you're right, I can't think of anyone who would do a Frank story better then Ennis. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ian_karkull 2009-08-30 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	One day Marvel, will learn that The Punisher simply doesn't work in their regular Universe. Until then, he deserves all the ridicule he can get. (And I say that as a big Punisher Max Fan.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Punisher can go live in the 'Powerless' alternate universe. (Reply to this) (Parent)

'Frankencastle'? Seriously? What, they're gonna make the Punisher into a cyborg, or what?
And fire-apes are AWESOME. One of the things I appreciate about the Golden Age is that all editors back then seemed to be concerned with is whether the page count was right and it got in on time - the sheer amount of 'direct from my addled brain to the page without the slightest interference' stuff that shows up in those pre-Code years is astounding. I especially remember one villain called 'the Octopus' (no relation to the 'Spirit' character), who was a yellow-skinned, shaggy-haired brute in a bright green suit, with vampire fangs and an extra arm sticking out of his back.
