I'm wondering if FrankenCastle will move into the reemerging magic corner of marvel (alongside Dr. Voodoo, Ghost Riders, and MI:13), or if he'll just go straight to mainstream after this arc.
When the Punisher begins his payback tour he'll have plenty of targets. “We've got Lady Gorgon and her clan of Hand troops; the new Jigsaw, Stu Clarke; Frank's former ally turned enemy, Microchip; the Deadly Dozen; Daken; the Shaolin Scientist Squad and even the Hood. We've got so many of these great characters who have thrown Frank around for the last couple of years that I'm really excited for the moment that Frank crawls out of the sewers with his new power set,” Remender remarked. “For the rest of the MU the 'Dark Reign' is over and the 'Heroic Age' is upon us… for Frank it’s bloody business as usual. The shiny and brave new world outside will have one dark corner and in it you’ll find The Punisher going over his hit list. "

yea man-thing )surprisingly) has had a couple of appearances in other stories, moreso than other characters, then there's dracula who has something to do with the frankcastle arc and appeared in dr. voodoo (only to be killed by voodoo right when was about to overpower doom)
i dunno if anyone has seen, FrankenCastle wil be meeting deadpool, so it's deadpools first sighting of Frank since being killed, and his first stride into the mainstream world
Punisher looks like he's back to normal (for the most part) in issue 17, but he must've find someway to keep his upgrade in power because that was the whole point of this like excursion.
he just looks more ugly whats really changed? lol. its cool, i didnt think it be in 616 when i first herd of it. but why the hell not? ppl should calm down, dont act like this is the be all end all for punisher. they can bring him back. be it with tech or something else or even time travel. for fuk sake its comics. if bucky can come back punisher can be turned into a undead inhuman killing machine and back to a human inhuman killing machine before we know it.
relax.....enjoy the ride.
and if you miss old punisher... read other punisher books or god forbid re-read the ones you think are good until his brain is put into a shield clone body and he goes back to biz-ness as you like it.
