i'm really considering picking this up, the art looks terrific and the writing solid!!!

one niggle, on the last panel i think Frank meant "Brief me", no "Debrief me" (that's what happens AFTER the mission. :smile:

Me too. I missed the first two issue but I think that I may be trying to hunt them down. This really looks like it's going to be a good fight between the Punisher and the Hood. They may have to give the title "Man without fear" to Frank.

I like that Remender used the word fisticuffs like 3 times in that interview. Fisticuffs are awesome. I love me some fisticuffs. Everyone should be collecting a full Remender run including all of Fear Agent, Strange Girl, and End League. Please let me know if I left anything out...oh yeah Night Mary!

I just picked up #3 today haven't read it yet tho but the first two issues writing and art were some solid stuff.

If the title continues to be as good as the first two issues im definatly on for the long term.

The way this thing is looking, I wonder if they would ever let Frank take out the Hood? I really want to see how he's going to deal with supervillain hit squad on his trail.

We'll in one of the interveiws Rick has done hes said that Pun will get to off some baddies so I can see him taking down the Hood, even if Dormammu (sp) ressurects him later. It would be sick if the Punisher and New Avengers titles crossed over for that kind of story.

"Further complicating the dynamic between Henry and the Punisher is the fact that Henry is about the age the Punisher's son would be today had he not been brutally murdered all those years ago."

The 616 U and its pesky sliding time-line.

I've been enjoying this book so far, I can't wait for #4. I'm very curious who the "Frank Castle expert" from #3 is. Micro is too obvious a choice, and he's dead and gone and has been for years.

Could be someone from the mob families that Frank may have had gotten close to in the past. I agree Microchip is too obvious and I'd rather it not be him.

I'm trying to think of people who stick out in my mind. Micro and Jigsaw are the two big ones but they're both dead (although Jigsaw seems to still be dicking around in MAX). Remender said it's someone we know, but I can't think of anyone.

Punisher has such a limited rogues gallery but another villain that I remember Frank having history with was a guy called Hitman. He apparently fell to his death in his last appearance but Remender may be bringing him back.
