No interview in sight, yet. But I have to say..I hope they produce that Punisher Biohazard t-shirt for purchase
Parlov..nice art, brutha.

[Umbra]

Nice...can't wait to read this.

[Greckel]

I have never read the Punisher, but this sounds pretty epic. I'll have to check out the first issue.

[marvell2100]

This is what I Am Legend should have been.

[bjmorga]

I'm very much looking forward to this. Mayberry's Naked Kill was an awesome Punisher Max one-shot. Those one-shots are typically great reads, but Naked Kill was one of the best thus far.

[Imraith Nimphais]

Mmmm...I've never been a fan of Punisher...but that said, neither was I a fan of Deadpool and I quite liked Maberry's take on him in Doowar...so I just might give this a shot...the deciding factor would certainly be whether or not I like the art.

[Brother Justin Crowe]

This is what I Am Legend should have been.

Uh...



Anything else with that name, I have no knowledge of.

So whats this book going to do to to diffrent from Marvel Zombies other then not calling them zombies and having Frank be the one shooting them. I really wished that was asked in this. That cover does look awesome though.

Everything.

Why don't you read and find out?

[DannyWetts]

Ohhhh MAN, I've been jonesin' for some Parlov. Hit me up.

Hey Maberry, any progress with the Frank 'White' Castle idea? For any of you not in the know, it's an incredibly clever story involving Frank taking over a White Castle and turning criminals into Burgers. White Castle burgers.

Burgers which he routinely donates to the local prison cafeteria -- get it? Criminals eating themselves. I don't know, it's ironic or something.

Anyways, Marvel is probably writing up a contract for me right now -- 'sign that White Castle-guy up, and give him an Avengers title while you're at it'.

Great new lines:

"I will RELISH turning you into hamburger."
"I was going to say 'interrogate', but perhaps 'a good grilling' is more appropriate."

There's also a lot of hilarity to be had having a guy named 'Frank' making burgers. Get it? Frank? Like a ballpark Frank?

Sigh...I've got a brain the size of Modok's.

[bjmorga]

Sigh...I've got a brain the size of Modok's.

Or a pitch similar in ineptitude to FrankenCastle.

OK - i'm looking at some of those interior pages - and this just went from "sounds good" to "this looks f*cking great"

yes, the name 11-3 will always be impossible to forget
