    Hooray and Boo at the same time. I love all things Remender. While I wish we could get more on the creator side of things without issues on Hiatus it might just be what I need to get me back to accepting marvel again. We shall see

    I was introduced to his writing with the Punisher.

    And then I found out that I have already been reading a title written by Reminder, The End League.

    Too bad End League will be going on haitus with issue 9, at least it's going to be double sized ^_^

    Can't wait to see what other marvel titles he may be writing.

    I think Remender on Punisher deserves more buzz. He's just about perfect for the character and the latest issue was just great.

    I've been enjoying Punisher and a few of Remender's other projects.

    I'm hoping this doesn't effect End League.

    And though I've been enjoying Punisher, I don't think I can stay aboard for Eng Huat's art.

    Its refreshing to see an indie guy pretty much saying he's coming along for the ride, has done those indie books and he's willing to take all his time from now on to be a Marvel writer.

    Take that Robert Kirkman!

    I'm not really happy with this news; I love Fear Agent and The End League.
    The words 'hiatus' and the quote 'My creator-owned schedule for the next couple of years will be lean as I’m going to focus all my time and energy on my Marvel work.' do not make me happy at all.

    I know the man's gotta eat but Punisher over Fear Agent; this is exactly what Robert Kirkman was talking about!

    So what's the deal with the cover to June's #6? Punisher surrounded by a whole bunch of Scourge's old victims - intriguing to say the least...

    I also like Fear Agent.

    This what most of them does. I always get annoyed how they dont care about their fans for their smaller works enough to even finish their series when Marvel or DC calls. Rucka with Queen and Country is another example...

    I will take a Robert Kirkman before a 100 writers of Remender kind.....

    I didn't know anything about Rick until the new Punisher series started. I wasn't much of a fan of that character, but I like his take on Frank so far.

    Found out about Fear Agent after reading an interview with him a few weeks ago. I picked up a few issues and I freaking love it. Classic, almost campy SciFi, but it rules. I need to check out The End League and Gigantic next.

    Now that he's exclusive, I wonder what Marvel will put him on next? Curious if he would have been a better choice for F4 instead of Hickman? I doubt Fraction is leaving IM anytime soon, but I think he could do a good job with that book as well.

    Gutted to hear that Rick is leaving his Dark Horse titles by the wayside. Surely they could port them over to the Marvel stable? 'Fear Agent' and 'The End League' have waaaay too much potential to be left to their own devices for this 'number of years.' And I'm not sure I like the idea of someone else writing Heath...

    With that said, I'm curious about this XXXombies screenplay! The comic was gloriously awful.. but good fun :D

    AFAIC he may be writing the best (imlooseo) Marvel comic book out now. He and the artist are in frickin' sync! Mind you, this is coming from someone who isn't a Punisher fan, but reading the past three issues restored (not that it horribly faltered) my belief in what a super hero comic book truly is when it's at it's best: simple, but entertaining as hell.
