Circle of blood starts out with Castle being escorted into Ryker's Island Federal Penitentiary. Stuff goes on inside the prison, they try to escape, he meets a group called the Trust, he works with them, he finds out they are making an army of "Punishers", and he has to stop them. Read it sometime, it's really good.
That would be dumb if they did that. Sure it was no block buster with rave reviews and it didn't break any records, but it had a target audience, and it was recieved very well in that audience. It made some money and got the character name out there for further use. Don't expect another Spider-Man or X-Men because that's just not what you'll get from the Punisher. However you can get an entertainment, drama and some badass action sequences, so take what you have and use it as it should be used.

Agreed I couldn't have said it better myself.

We should have it in the next two weeks, sort of a preliminary budget, and then we'll start talking story, then writer and then we'll get going. I'll be involved in the story development.
