That was disappointing. I did not read the book but the wiki told me the book version of Robert Neville was legend because [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the vampire people formed their own society and he was their boogie man, their legendary monster that lived in the sunlight and killed them when they slept. I thought that premise was way more cool and was wondering how they'd pull that off in a Punisher book.

seems like a good read but i wonder if it will be like marvel zombies in the aspect that the story will have alot of holes.....otherwise im pretty sure franky would be dead day one or two.

no no you misunderstand i don't dis like marvel zombies in fact i really do enjoy the story.....but with a series that big i normally buy the GN editions and read them that way and not to mention i haven't been able to buy them for a while so im pretty behind
but yea if my statement made me sound like i was against it im sorry lol im not i was just making an observation.
Well, no one ever wants to fully embrace Richard Mathieson's book right down to the ending & it's implications. None of the feature films have; they all want it to be about one man making a difference and the hope of change. Seems this won't be different.

I agree, it was a really interesting, original, and effective end passage in that book. It's disappointing that they had to go for the happier ending in the recent movie - for me it finished off what was already a movie full of plot holes. The Last Man on Earth is a bit closer in that respect but still doesn't follow the book exactly and is a bit creaky.
I hope this Punisher series stays more serious than the Zombies stuff. Although the Lente Zombies stuff is interesting, I wish we had seen more of the Marvel Zombies as they orginally portrayed - as a true horror concept and with that darker, more realistic art. Without all the jokiness and increasingly over the top cosmic stuff that started getting into it later.
